The Duquesne Steel Workers Want
Dunn'S Assailant Punished.
SOME THREATS ARE BEING MADE.
Master Workman Ross, of D. A. 8, Z. Of L.,
Assailed by His Enemies.
A GROUNDLESs CHARGE PREFERRED

Notwithstanding the serious shooting
affray at Homestead. Wednesday night,
comparatively the day was very quiet at
Duquesne. William Dunn, the striker who
was shot, is lying at his home and is very
seriously injured. Drs. Gladdin and Nc
Caslin, who are attending him, say his chances
for recovery are pretty fair as long as infiam-
nation does not set in.
The feeling of the strikers is very bitter
against the steel company. One of the strikers,
in speaking about the shooting of Dunn by an
employe of the steel company, said that it was
the second time that blood had been shed on
their side, and that the citizens must not be
surprised should anything serious occur shortly.
. An interesting incident occurred yesterday
morning. John Carr, man who is at work for
the steel company and lives across the river,
while coming to work was met by the strikers
and given severe ducking in the river, which
almost resulted in his being drowned. After
this they brought him to the shore and daubed
him from head to foot with mud He was then
taken to the gates and driven into the works
MORE RECRUITS.
While the strikers were still on the river
shore John Beddo, one of the bosses in the
steel works, came across with skif load Of
men. who were on their way to work, and was
driven back to the other side.
The strikers held a meeting at which nothing
of William Dunn, hear reports from soliciting
committees, and resolution to reopen their
supply store. The store was opened last even
ing.
ployed in the works struck for higher wages,
which the company refused to pay. They then
demanded their money, which was paid to
them. and then went to Pittsburg on the 11:49
A. N. train.
Sheriff McCandless went out on the 7:5O A. NJ.
train and ordered all the strikers to not gather
in crowds, as it was against the injunctions
that we're served on them. After the Sheriff
had explained the law to them, almost all of
the men went to their homes, and up to 9:45
p M. striker could hardly be seen walking the
streets.
Sheriff McCandless then returned to the city
on the l1:49 A. M. train and returned to Home
stead on the P. NJ. train, and then went to Du-
quesne on the 4:06 P. NJ. train. He held con-
sultation with the deputies in regard to the
situation. Deputy n Jewell was placed in charge
of the deputies, there being eight or 10 of
them; and they say that they are ready for any.
thing that may turn up.
THE CLAIMS MADE.
The strikers still claim that the company
had only n men until yesterday and the 2l
Italians leaving left but Sc men, notwithstand-
ing the company claims to have from $50 to 225
on their roll, and they are making about 800
rails per day.
At 945 everything was very quiet, but the
citizens think trouble is liable to occur at most
any moment, so everybody is on their guard
and the deputies are continually patroling the
yards and railroad.
An application was made to Judge Magee
by c. @. Magee. Esq, to have VIM.
Galloway who shot VIM. Dunn at Homestead
Wednesday night, released on bail. Mr.. Dickey
held that as Galloway was deputy sheriff and
Dunn fugitive from justice, it was due to pub
lie morality that he be released. This morning |
