borough of Braddock to keep up the inter
est in the proceedings of the previous day.
The riotous Hungariaps quieted down
after getting good sleep Thursday night,
and realizing the disastrous mistake they
had made. They were all paid off at the
general Office of the works yesterday after
noon, and will not be re-employed.
Sheriff McCandless visited the town
again, and deputized $50 additional men,
who were stationed around the works to
prevent the Hungarians from even gaining
an admission to the property. No further
difficulty is anticipated, and it is expected
to resume operations in every department Of
the mill on Monday, as was originally in
tended.
The Hungarians wandered through the
streets all day, and at times seemed lost.
They congregated in great crowds at and
around the saloon OF Joe Wolf, the Hun
garian King" and there was considerable
drinking, although the saloons remained
closed. The citizens were greatly agitated
over the proceedings of New Years Day.
and many of them volunteered their SER
vices in assisting to keep peace.
THE HIBERNIAN RIFLES ALERT.
Captain MCGOWAN, of the company of
Hibernian Rifles located in Braddock, no.
titled all his men early in the day to be pre-
pared to be called on duty at any time, and,
in case another outbreak had occurred, the
Huns would have found them well armed
to protect the citizens.
Early in the day Manager Schwab issued
notice that the strikers would receive all
money due them by applying to the Office
at o'clock. Accordingly, at that
hour the 400 Hungarians who had
participated in the strike were paid. and
their services will not he required at the
furnaces in the future. 1t was reported in
Braddock last night that many of them had
prepared to leave the town. But it was
also reported that reinforcement of Huns
are expected to-day or tomorrow from the
coke region for the purpose of aid
| ing their countrymen, and if this
| should prove true, more trouble would
naturally follow. The Huns will get the
worst of any future disorder, as there are $50
Deputy Sheriffs on duty in the works and
around the town, besides lot of extra police
in the borough, who would be Joined and
aided by the citizens in case of an emergency
A visit was made to the Office of the works
came in droves of 10 or 12 and as soon as
they received their pay walked quietly
| away. Some were afraid to go to the Office
for their money, as a rumor had gained cir
| culation that the company would have all
| the strikers arrested as fast as they put in
| an appearance. Many of those who feared
the loc 2up sent their checks with friends
and received their pay through them.
WORK TO BE RESUMED MONDAY.
Manager Schwab was seen, but did not
care to discuss thu situation. He said there
will be an effort made to run the works in
/ full on Monday, but no steps have been
so ia; tax N to secure men to TAX: the strik-
| ers' places There are plenty of idle work
men in Braddock, however, to fill up the
ranks. -
Mr.. Schwab said informations. had been
made against another lot of the strikers and
! as fast as the ringleaders can be identified
| they will be arrested and locked up. The
manager did not expect any further trouble
from the men, as they were begin ming to be
divided among themselves and the strikers
| were not unanimously supported by their
| own people. Those who took sides with the
| workmen are expected to report for duty
| again and will be allowed to work if they
do, but, according to a new code OF rules es-
tablished since Manager Schwao took
charge, any employe who destroys or assists
| in destroying the property of the company
can consider himself discharged without be-
| ing told of it.
Squire Hoffman was one of the busiest
| men in the town. He and Chief of Police

Father Hickey, who figured so promi-
nentlv in the difficulty Of 1887, and who
was among the first to visit the injured
workmen Thursday was seen yesterday by
DISPATCH reporter concerning the
trouble. He said: ''I only regard the al
fair of New Years Day as a simple, spicy
tilt between the Hungarians and other Sla-
vonlc races employed at tine furnaces. The
outbreak was not entirely unexpected, as
the officers of the several departments have
been for the past three or four weeks pre-.
pairing for it. The most serions feature was
the sudderness of action by the Hunic force
"The company, while suspecting more or
less difficulty on New Years Day, as on all
other holidays, had no. expectancy of an
outbreak including strife and bloodshed,
and consequently were not prepared to re-
pulse the excited Huns from the start as
they might have been under other circum.
stances.
WARNED THREE YEARS AGO.
"The company was advised three years
ago, and prudently too, to anticipate strife
with these Hungarians, and to always be
prepared for such an affair as took place
Thursday, for it is we'll known fact that
the foreign element is only employed any
way on account of the low wages with which
they are satisfied.
