[By Telegraph to the Evening Journal.
PITTsBURG, Aug 5.-The attempt yes
terday of the Amalgamated association
members to prevent the old men not or
ganized with them from returning to
work in the Duquesne mill has for the
time drawn public attention away from
the other struggles between the strikers
and the Carnegie Steel company.
Duquesne has been a famous battle
ground and the victories for labor and
capital heretofore have been even. In
this instance the company has taken ac-
tive measures promptly. Late last night
Constable Griffiths, accompanied by
James EMorrison, who was beaten badly
in the riot yesterday, came to Pittsburg on
the advice of Superintendent Morrison
and made informations for riot against
twelve of the participants, who are mostly
Duquesne men, although some of them
reside in Homestead. A force of con-
stables will serve three warrants to-day
and they expect serious trouble and have
gone prepared to meet it.
Trouble with the New Men.
William Weihe, of the Amalgamated
association, who has kept a close watch
on Homestead events, told United Press
reporter this morning that the company
possibly had POO men in the Homestead
mills, but that not more than one hun
dred of them had any skill, and serious
accidents were daily occurrence. N'Yes-
terday," he said 'when the furnaces in
the Open Hearth department had been
tapped and the steel run into the ladle,
the men, in trying to move the ladle to
the casting pit, upset it, spilling twenty
five tons of melted metal. Owing to
this, the Open Hearth department is shut
down, and the metal is lost
Mr. Weihe also said that his association
was receiving large contributions Of
money from all parts of the country.
Carnegie Onicials' Version.
The Carnegie officials tell a different
story. Superintendent Potter says he
has so many men, over 1900, that no more
applications are being accepted nor will
they be until the 200 new houses at Mum
hall are completed, and Munhall, if all
the Carnagie plans are carried out, will
be big town in six months.
Superintendent Dillon asserts that fif-
teen old men returned last night to work
in the Thirty-third street mill. H.
declares all departments are running
single turn and satisfactorily and tn e
strikers affirm positively that he is tell
ing untruths.
a Deserter Marked for Death.
A roller there named Teemer, brother
of Oarsman John Teemer, is believed by
the police to be marked for death by the
strikers for having twice deserted his
lodge and worked in non-union mills
These officers have warned Teemer TO be
on the watch for violence. Teemer, how
ever leaves the mill at will, and says h6
fears no one
The police this morning and during
the night, dispersed large crowds on the
Smithfield wharf They were watching
the Carnegie service boat Tide leave hel

and the crowds were hooting so violently
that an outbreak was feared.
