PITTsRURo. Pa, July 2s.-A riot occurred
this morning on a Baltimore and Ohio train,
on which party Of non-union men were
being transported from Cincinnati to Pitts
burg to work in the Carnegie Steel Works
at Homestead. Ia the melee one man was
stabbed in the forehead with bayonet in
the hands OF an armed guard. Another had
thumb chewed OF, and nearly a score of
others were badly bruised IN an attempt 10
regain their liberty. When the train
reached Pittsburg only twenty-one men
were aboard In addition to the armed guard.
the other thirty-hve having escaped from
the car. When they left Cincinnati the
men did not know that they were being
taken to the Homestead mills. and when
they found it out they rebelled. That is
how the riot had its inception.
WHAT ONE or TIE MES sAYs.
Joseph Manning ia the name Of a young
man who will make affidavit % these facts
Manning is resident of Cincinnati and Is
about twenty years Of age. He a printers
apprentice, and until last Tuesday was
employed on the Enquirer lie said: "On last
Thursday answered an advertisement in
the ENQUIRER, Offering employment at easy
labor and good wages. / called at tho office
of 4. w. Nye. 10 LOngWorth street. and
was offered work at Pittsburg Nye said IL
was easy work and that / would be paid
seventeen cents an hour and get my frat
months board FREQ and would have three
months in which to pay back nay car fare. No
mention was made OF Homestead Yesterday
with titty-hve others / started 10 Pittsburg.
There we're seven puddlers and q number
OF steel workers from Coyngton and New
port. Ky, in the party, and they, too. sup
posed they were 70 get work IN Pittsburg
After leaving Cincinnati ali tho doors were
locked and windows fastened down and we
were not allowed to open them. Early this
morning we were surprised 10 find both
doors OF our oar guarded by a watchman
with gun on his shoulder We then be-
came suspicious and some of the puddlers
sized up the situation, and, approaching
one OF the guard, asked Where are We
going 10 work = At Homestead. was the
reply
DEMANDED TO BIZ RELEASED.
The puddlers gathered around the guard
and demanded that the doors be unlocked
and that they be allowed % leave the car
The guard refused 10 let them pass and
then the puddiers jumped on him. Then
there was terrible scene Every man IN
the car jumped from his seat, some making
for the doors others tried TO break through
the windows and some got into fight. The
guard struck one Of the puddiers with the
bayonet Of his gun and cut a long cash
across his forehead. la their frantic efforts
10 get out of the car the men
got into a fight among themselves
and for. about half an hour there was
perfect reign of terror, and many heads and
noses were broken. At Whitehall the guard
was thrown from his position and the door
was burst open. The men commenced 70
Jump of. and they kept dropping of all the
way to the city and escaped. The other
men, / suppose, went on 70 Homestead
The guards made no attempt 10 shoot, but
used their guns as clubs. Several OF the
men were severely injured. one losing
thumb. l do not think that man on the
car knew that we were destined TO Home
stead, for when that place was mentioned
this morning they became as frantic as 1n.-
mails"
The above statements will probably be
used in legal proceedings to prevent tho
transportation OF the men under similar cir
cumstances.

SUGGESTION OF ARBITRATION.
Conference committees OF the American
Iron Manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Association spent eight and half hours in
conference last night. The meeting was
rendered remarkable by the suggestion OF
arbitration as a means 10 briug tho two
wings together. Tho proposition came
from the manufacturers side. and in the
form that the men should return to work
at last years scale. pending an adjustment
of the new scale by board OF arbitrators.
The workers committee discussed 1t for
over half anahOur. No definite reply was
returned. and no determination had been
arrived at when the meeting adjourned.

and the Amalgaplated Association has never
