Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 1. The tent or thousands of employes of the United States Steel corporation working in tjie concern's mills and offices In -Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Wiscon sin and other states, doubtless have lit tle inclination for celebrating the New Year. Over 160,000 men, or about. 40 per cent of all the employes of the cor poration, go to work. today at a lef wage than they have been receiving heretofore. The remaining 10 per cent represent the employes belonging to the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. The existing agree ment between the corporation and the association prevents the wages of these men being reduced before the agree ment expires next July. The reduction ranges from 6 to 30 per cent, and will mean a saving of more than $1,000,000 yearly to the corporation.
