Ycun. Man Pretending to Be an Awning
Repairer Robs an Oakland Lady OF
Money and Valuable Jewels.
A daylight robbery was committed yes
terday afternoon at the residence of James
A. Reed, No. IL Oakland square. About 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon the door bell OF
Mr.. Reeds house was rung. Mr.. Reed'saged
mother was the only member of the family
at home, and she answered the bell
At the door she found smart looking
young man carrying satchel. He said he
had been sent by Brown & Co. to fix the
awnings on the upstairs windows of the
house. Mrs. Reed admitted the young
man and permitted him to 60 upstairs
Upon reaching the bedroom IN which he
was to work he sat down on a chair and
complained of feeling i'll. He asked Mrs
Reed for a glass of water, and she went
downstairs TO get it for him. She was
gone but few moments, and when she re-
turned he recovered quickly. He then
worked for awhile at the awnings and left.
In the evening when Mr.. Reeds wife
went to her room she discovered that some
of her jewelry was missing. The loss was
reported to the rest OF the family, and Mr..
Reeds mother Immediately suspected the
awning man. 1t then transpired that there
had been nothing wrong with the awnings
and no man had been sent to fix them.
Jewelry to the value of 1902 and 81 in
money had been stolen. The police were
notified and a search started for the young
man. A list of the stolen jewelry is as fol-

THE WORKERS SIDE

Told by Austin CoIbf esh, Employed at the
Rolls in 1I9-Inch Plate MM-Where
the Heaviest Reductions Arc Made by
the New Scale.
David Lynch, the boss heater at Home
stead, was next called. He talked to
Colonel Oates for a few minutes and re-
tired. Mr.. Lynch did not testify. Austin
Colbfesh was the next witness He worked
at the rolls in the 119-inch plate mill
Oates-What is the difference between the
affected?
A. can't give the percentage Of reduc-
tion. In the principal jobs the cut is about
s per cent. The heaviest reduction is made
at the rolls and shears, where the hardest
work is done. The shearer was cut from 10
cents per ton on a basis of S26 to GOT cents
under proposed scale. On 1000 tons, wages
would be reduced from 500 to $67, a reduc-
tion OF SS3 Now under the old scale my
wages would be Sal IS per month. Under
new scale my pay would be ss2, reduction
of S4945
Oates-Anything else?
A. Yes, viii now take low-priced man
and show the reduction. Under the new
scale a shearer's helpers wages would be
about 81 IS per day. The old scale for them
was 4 cents per ton, under the new they are
cut to 3.27 cents.
Oates DO you know the labor costo max

A. One dollar and so cents to make a
slab.

and Improved Machinery.
William McQuaide was called next. He
said:
want to say something about Frick's
statements about improved machinery. Our
tonnage has not been so great as on double
tNrn. No Improvements in machinery were
made. but the increase is due to the slabs
and three turns. Three hours that used to be
lost are now put In and eight hours added on
Sunday. This made their tonnage so great.
We never worked go hard as now. We used

We work consecutively eight hours, hard
and steady. Many of the men don't eat at
all. have been sick and couldn't leave my
post. Many men are not paid by tonnage, but
all the men in the mill would be compelled
to accept the scale. Potter said he would
put under every man he could. 1t will
affect all the men in the mill except COM
mon laborers. 1t will affect tnine-tentns of the
men, according to Potter.

The average is only $500 TONS or 800 tons per

nrst shot fired. The men on the barges
didn't fire until the men on shore had
done so. and a few of the Pinkertons had
been wounded. Some of the Pinkertons
had landed on the bank Our men didn't
fire many shots, and the Gro Nd scattered in
every direction. The Pinkertons ran back
onto the barges. [Laughter.l The firing
stopped for an hour The Little Bill laid
there for an hour. The men wanted some
thing to eat ana made coffee for them.
The PinkertonS We're Frightened
Oates-Did Pinkertons try to go OUT?
A. No, some were brave enough, but the
bulk were too badly frightened. They were
cowardly. After we had gone ND the river,
l saw the crowd coming OH the bank. They
were armed with revolvers mainly. The
crowd came down on the railroad. The
Pfnkertons had made port holes by that
time, and they fired q little volley The
crowd ran. said to the guards, 'Why did
you come here? Why did you laEd?' The Pink
ertons said they had come to do guard duty,
not to fight. 1 remained in the bsrges until
6 O'Clock in the evening. When the crowd
came back the second time. the first vollev
wounded five Pinkerton men. None were
killed. Three, 1 understand, have died
since. About u were injured in ALL The
crowd threw cans OF oil over the hill. but
the Pinkertons knocked them away with
their guns. went out with the Pinkertons
up the bank at the surrender. 1 don't know

from sides and bottom.
Boatner-What kind of men were the
Pinkertons?
A. Well, they seemed to be calm, sober men.
About so appeared to be trained and good
shots. We cut port holes and the best men
watched and picked of people when they
got too close. Others laid on the floor and
hid behind ice boxes.
The Men Were Without Leaders
Boatner-Why didn't the men land?
A. Well, their commander was wounded.
Boatner-Wherew was Potter?
A. He went to Port Perry.
Boatner-Where was Colonel GRAY?
A. don't know. He was keeping in the
background. He seemed to be as cowardlv
as the Pinkertons. [LauShterl didn't 90
to the rink. l could see indignities hea ned
on the m en from distance. The assailants
appeared to be women and boys chiefly.
Boatner-Any accidents in the boat?
A. Yes. Many of the Pinkerton men
didn't know how to load a gun, and had TO
be taught. One awkward fellow, when
ordered to unload his gun, in irving to
get out the cartridge, it went off and shot
wounded man in the boat in the shoulder.
As soon as We surrendered the crowd
swarmed on the barges
Broderick-How long were YOU on the
barge before You saw the arms?
A. ABOUT half an hour
Broderick-Did you see Homestead man
stand on the end of the plank, and say If
they landed they would have to go over his
dead body?
What the Workers Said.
A. No, sir. heard many of the men say
