Gain for 15,000 Plttlborg Men.

The Carnegie Steel Company at Pittsburg has posted notices that on January 1 it will advance the wages of its yardmen from 17 to 19 cents an hour. The general managers of the trunk lines entering Pittsburg are considering the advisibility of taking the same action and an advance of 15,000 men on January 1 is practically certain. The advance will be given because of the heavy work, owing to the freight congestion and the need of getting work done more expeditiously.
