HOMESTEAD, PA, August 5.-The re-
ported strike at the Studebaker Wagon
Works, South Bend, Ind, Is the first
result OF Hugh 0'Donnel's trip, accord
ing TO people who are Ia position TO
know. While 10 is true that ho needed
recreation, yet the Advisory Board
decided that he could take that and
also further the interests OF the locked
out men. He, Mr.. 0'Donnell. started TO
work up the boycott against the Carne-
gle Steel Company's material. His first
visit was TO Bethlehem, where II was
understood some pressing and unfinished
orders OF the Carnegies are being Oiled.
Mr.. 0'Donnell proselyted among the
men and endeavored to work up such a
sentiment that the men would refuse ia
work the orders. While the Homestead
leader secured plenty OF sympathy, yet
the non-union men refused 70 go out on
a strike.
At South Bend Mr. O'Donnell is far
more successful, II reports received here
are trustworthy, and succeeded la clos
Ing down the largest wagon works In
the world. There are fully twenty
other large manufacturing concerns do
pendent upon the Carnegie Steel Com
pany for their material.
The Carnegies have been expecting
such a move ever since they attem pied
the operation OF the steel works here With
non-union operatives, for 10 an interview
with the Associated Press representa-
tives several days ago, Mr.. Potter said:
when our old customers learned that
we were making beams, they wrote and
even came 70 us personally TO secure
first orders, so the threatened boycott
is not frightening our customers. or
course we expect that an attempt Ia
that direction will be made the mo-
ment the men find out that we can
manufacture mercanable iron, but we DO
not anticipate serious annoyance
There was no change at the mill this
morning. Information received here a.
General WylIe's headquarters was that
no trouble occurred during the night a.
Duquesne. and this morning the mill
was quiet. The advisory committee

taken on Monday, as large majority

they having reconsidered their action.
It has been decided 70 maintain q MILF

thorities are fully satisfied that there
will be DO further disorder.
Ralph Getty, sub-agent for the Key

| St, Pittsburg, came 20 Homestead this
| morning. On his arrival a number
OF locked out men spotted him and
he was followed and Officer Jim Wills
arrested him and when Getty protested
the crowd wanted 70 take him 70 the
river ard throw him 10. Getty became
badly frightened for probably 100 men
gathered around him and be was glad
20 be placed 10 the lookup. lie Will be
charged with resisting an officer and
perjury.
There ls considerable Indignation
among all classes Of Homestead citizens
over the transportation OF non-unlon
men across the river on the Little
| Bill" They say that the boat was char
tered by the State for the use Of the
militia, but its principal use Is carrying
pIace-seekers across the river and put
! ting them into the mill free Of charge
