pIrrsBrRr, Pa, July The Pinkerton
detectives from Homestead arrived in this
city at 2 90 this morning. Twenty
of their number were wounded and were
sent to the West Pennsylvania Hospital.
Two of Pinkertons men assert that any
where from four to twelve of their compan-
ions committed suicide Yesterday during
the siege at Homestead.
The figures at the sheriff's Office show IL
killed, " wounded, six fatally.
At y this morning but very few men had
assembled at Sheriff Met leary's office, con
sequently the sheriff announced he would

have q sufficient force To start by tomorrow
The course of GOV. Pattison in declining
to order the National Guard to Homes 4, al
until Sheriff Met ieary had exhausted all
means in his power to prosecute order is
generally commended. The prevailing
opinion here is that bad the militia ap-
peared on the scene the bloodshed would
have been much greater. The advent of
the armed and uniformed men of the state
troops to guard the Carnegie works and
to act ~ protectors of the non-union men
would have excited the strikers to all pos
sible resistance.

PRES. FRick INTERVIEWED.


II. C.. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie
Steel Company was interviewed this evening
by correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. He said there are three points
upon which the men and company differed.
Skilled worknien in the Amalgataated As
sociation work under what is known as the
sliding scale. As the price of steel advan-
ces the earnings of men advanced; and as
prices fall tine earning decrease in proper
ton. While there is no limit to the advance
of earnings on scale. there is point Mt
which the decline stops, known as the mini
mum. and the figure heretofore has been
So, a ton for SKI Bessemer mills.
We believe If the earnings based on the
selling price Of steel can advance without
limit, the workmen should be willing to
follow the selling price down to reason
able minimum, 50 that this figure was
finally fixed by the Carnegie Company at
S.,s instead of So. The reason for asking
this upon our part was that the Carnegie
Company has spent large sums of money in
the introduction of new machinery in the
Homestead plant, By means of which the
workmen are enabled to increase the daily
output. increasing the amount of their own n
earnings. We originally asked reduction
to s22. but subsequently agreed to eom-
promise the rate at s23.
The Amalgamated Association was un.
willing to consider reduction below s2i
on steel biliets, notwithstanding the fact
that improved machinery would enable the
members. even at sas. TO earn more than i.
paid in other Amalgamased mills. Under
the present Amalgamated system the daie
of the expiration of the sliding scale is June
10, annually. We asked that this date he
changed to December 81. The chang.
would permit Us To take our estimate upon
wages We must pay during the year, be.
ginning with January l. 50 we would bs
enabled to make contracts for the year ae
cortsingly.
This point the Ansalgamated Association
refused 10 eoncetle and demanded the oh
date. The third opposition was the reduc
tion on the coinage rates in those depart
ments in mills where improvement
have been made. We asked M
reduction in any department at which ths
output was not greatly increased by reasor
OF our expensive improvements since th'

scale of lSst went into effect. We are pre-,
pared to show that in nearly every depart
ment. under our proposed reduction in ton
mage rates, skilled workmen xoull make
more Roney than they did when the scale
Of lsSa went into effect.
As rule the men max
ing the largest wages in Homestead
mill were the ones who most bitterly de-
bounced the proposed revision of scale, for
ont of $50 men employed in every depart
ment. only s2J were directly affected by
the reduction. Finding il impossible TO
arrive NJ any agreement with the Amalga-
mated officials, we decided 10 close the
works a, Homestead"
why did the Carnegie Company call
npon the Pinkertons for wafchmen to pro-
reef the property
We did not see how else we would have
protection. We only wanted them for
watehmen to protect property and see that
the workmen we would take to Homestead
and we had applications from many men
10 90 there To work-were not interfered
with. We doubted the ability of the
sheriff and local deputies to enforce
order al Homestead and protect property.
Three years ago our concern had an expe-
rienee similar 10 this and we do not propose
this time to be placed in that position. The
facts concerning the engagement of the
pinkerton men are these From past ex-
perienee. not only with the present sheriff
but all others, We found that he has been
unable To furnish US with sufficient NUM-
her of deputies to guard our property and
protect men anxious to work on our terms.
We felt for the safety of our property,
ard in order 10 protect the workmen it was
necessary 10 secure our own watchmen TO
assist the sheriff and We know of no other
source from " hich TO obtain them than from
the ifnkertons, and TO them we applied. The
difficulty is in the hands of the authorities
of Allegheny county. II thsK were unable
to cope with it. it certainly is the duty of
the Governor of the state TO see that We are
permitted 10 operate our establishment I'M
molested.
We have never given thought AS to
what effect our affairs might have on either
political party. 1t would prove very un-
profitable if We were 10 trim our sales to
meet political issues. 1t is not matter in
which the protective tariff is involved. II is
a question as to whether the proprietors or
workmen will manage the works. 1t is not
a question of starvation wages, as the pro-
posed equalization of earning affects only
about 32', men of the $500. II has no effect
upon the wages of more than $1,000 other
employees engaged in our establishments at

HOMESTEAD, Pa. July Last night
WAS one of watchfulness though of sup
pressed excitement in Homestead. Guards
were established rs usual but the majority
of men went home. The town is strangely
silen, today. Except for the large crowds
of sight -seers the town would be more than
normally still
The leaders of the men propose at once
to have the fence on the Carnegie property
rebuilt and also to repair all other damage
caused by yesterdays riot. This will be
done so AS 10 prevent any suits for damages
BY the company. The old guards were Sc
cured by the men and placed on duty to
again look after the company's interests.
The call of the sheriff for posse was
received here with good-natured derision
The men are confident that the sympathy
of the citizens of the country is much
with them that no good men would volun-
teer. They declared that had the guards
not come here there would have been no
violence.
As an evidence of their sincerity a com
mlttte of three went through the works
at an early hour this morning and eurled
up ropes and hose, took down all barri-
caies, and removed as far as possible all
evidences of the conflict The mill yard
was absolutely deserted when the Assoca-
ted Press representative visited it, 4 few
tlat,ened bullets, a smouldering post on the
river bank and barrow half full of bolts
and broken pig iron used in the cannon,
were the only vestiges of combat.
The list of killed and injured of the
Homestead workers is at last complete.
Four were killed outright AMI two others
died in the evening. Eleven were injured
six of whom may die.
Nothing occurred to disturb the peace or
quiet here until about tonight, when the
men were aroused 10 Indignation by efforts
of some men to circulate anarchistie circu-
lars. The men denounced the circular as
gotten up to jure their cause. -Four men
believed guilty of distributing the circulars
were caught and sent out of town with di-
rections to stay out.
The ruin incident to Yesterdays prepara-
ton for warfare has been repaired. No
reasonable man here doubts that fighting
will be resumed Mt once if another attempt
is made to Introduce Pinkerton men into
town. The town is picketed, and no man
can enter without his presence being noted.
The aged pastor of the Methodist church
in sermon preached over the body of
John Morris. one of the killed workmen.
gave his commentator to the wOrkmen and
evidently is firm in the belief that to Mr.
Frick is attributable the trouble between
the employees and employer. He spoke of
Frick in scatliing terms. as man with no
more sensbilits than toad.
