End of the Homestead Trouble

The trouble at Homestead, Allegheny
county, brought about by reduction of
wages, made by the owners Of the steel
mills there, Carnegie, Phipps- & Co., and
the ''strike" of the employees was settled
on Saturday last, and both the firm and
the laborers are well pleased Ger the re-
suit. No change is made i'll the scale for
the converting blooming, armor- plate and
basic departments. Some reductions are
made in the %, 33 and 110-inch mills. All
the old foot notes and extras stricken from
the sliding scale are reinserted in the new
one. 1t will be based on the selling price
Of billets. The workers believe they have
won great victory. During the strike
the firm attempted to employ union
men, but the union men would not allow
them to enter thes gates of the mill, and
the Sheriff of the county and his posse
were also prevented from entering 1t
was bitter struggle, and one that came
very near resulting in bloodshed.

THE release of John l.. Sullivan by. n
Nashville Judge after his arrest last Thurs
day was a judicial outrage. for which there
can be neither justification nor excuse
Governor Lowrie, of Mississippi, had
telegraphed to Governor Taylor, of Ten
nessee, that Sullivan was a fugitive crimin-
al, charged with prize fighting, and asked
that he be arrested and held until the
necessary requisition papers could be for
warded
Requests of this kind from the Governor
of one State to the Governor of another
are common and necessary. Compliance
with them is demanded by ordinary courte
sy and is essential to the due administra-
tion of justice. 1t is perfectly proper
and regular to arrest the fugitive and hold
him reasonable time to enable the de-
manding State to present its case. 1t is
done every day.
Sullivan's hasty release without giving
the Mississippi authorities any chance to
submit their case was a most extraordinary
and hagrant departure from this establish
ed practice,

On Thursday of last week, the Johns
town Commission, of which Governor
Beaver is the head, put forth the general
statement that there had been expended
Serenteen Hundred Thousand Dollars in
the Conemaugh Valley, and that large
sums are still needed. This statement
will probably be considered remarkable by
the public.

THE CITIZENS OF Johnstown held an in
dignation meeting on Monday, and passed
long string Of resolutions Of which the
following are samples:
Res0lred, That the citizens of Johns
town and vicinity respectfully, yet earnest
ly, request that the iund contributed for
the relief Of the food sufferers in the Cone
maugh valley be as speedily as possible
distributed IN money directly to the peo-
pie, and that all purchases, contracts and
expen ses to be paid for out of this fund
immediately cease.
Rcsctred, That Ts.>hoarding up of this
kind to meet problematicai istare wants
will materially diminish its usefulness >pd
only result in delaying to a more distant
time the restoration of homes, of business,
Of industry and Of confidence. 1t will do
more good in the hands of the people now
than at any time hereafter
Resolrcd, That we repudiate as insulting
to the manhood and intelligence of our
citizens (now that the avenues of trade are
opened up), the imputation that they can
not and win not wisely and economically
disburse any funds placed in their hands,
and because of this imputation, the AFRO
CANT assumption that guardians must su-
pervise our expenditures, control our dis
bursements, purchase our supplies and
make our contracts.
Rcsolrcd, That of the statements imput-
ed to his exccllencv, Governor Beaver,
that million and half Of dollars had al
ready been expended in Johnstown and
vicinity, have no foundation,in in fact it is the
strongest possible argument that expcnd-
ing relief funds in contracting for build
ings, quarter-master and commissary sup
plies is not wise, judicious or economical
way of disbursing such funds when the or
dinary sources of supply are opened up.
Only by gross extravagance and careless
ness could such sum have been used here
and the people have received no adequate
return for the expenditure of so large an
amount
