' rPut)ltshrs Press.! San Franc' sco, Dec. 8. Report of the special committee or the board of trustees of the chamber of commerce on insurance settlements, after the big fire which has just been published, says: "The total area burned was about 3,000 acres, or about 4.7 square miles.

containing 520 blocks an.l about 2a,000 buildings. One-half of these were residences. "The amount of insuranco covering property in the burned district was, approximately, $235,000,000 (estimated). All of this had been written by companies authorized to do business

, in the state, except $6,000,000, which 'had been placed outside of the state in some 100 companies. I "The value of buildings and contents destroyed In the fire must have been about $350,000,000, being an estimate on the insurance liability, the known

ratio of insurance to valu3 (about 70 per cent), and a guess that there was

about 5 per cent of property that carried no insurance. , "An immense sum of insurance money has been paid into this city, a far

Pittsburg, Pa., Lec. s. The dispute between Icr:al officials of railroads cen

tering in Pittsburg and their

ployes over the scale for yard men

ha4 arrived at the critical stage, and urless a settlement is reached within

a day or so, fear3 are entertained of a

general strike in the district.

Negotiations with the Baltimore

and Ohio are off, and much depends upon meetings with G. L. Peck, general manager of the Pennsylvanfa lines east of Toledo. If these two comranies take a sta;d similar to that of the Baltimore and Ohio all yardmen In the Pittsburg d'strlct will likely be railed out cn stride in accordance with the result of the vote on thI3 question by the trainmen. The Plttsburs and Lake Erie nTc!als are understood to have arreed to i ?.y the "middle scale," but It is not bcTVved the trainman will accept th's scale unles3 all other roads in th's district asree to a similar propcsitlon. "The middle scaleIs one cf nt an hour, less than the scale paid in the Chicago d strict, and is n effect at Cleveland, Younstown and other Ohio points. If the Pennsylvania lines, the Wabash and the Baltimore and Ohio officials concede the "middle scale," it is said the trainmen will continue working. Otherwise a strike is threatened. ' W. G. Lee, vice grand master of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, who has charge of the situation in the Pittsburg district declines to discuss the matter in detail further than to say

the prospects for a settlement are not

as bright as they might be. The trainmen, he said, voted on the question and they ajrred to demand the Chicago scale. The wages in the Pittsburg district, Lee said, are much lower than in other districts. He believes the trainmen should be paid higher wages. Traffic affairs In the Pittsburg district have reached that stae where shippers are more than anxious as to the outcome of the conferences. The freight traTic In this district was never heavier than at present and a strike of the yardrten would mean a complete tie up of freight trains. "Indications pinr to tho settlement of wage d'r'itps in the Pittsburg switching dVr'ct." sa'd Lee, after a conference with George L. Pck, gereral manager of fto Pennsylvania lines west.
