Il had contracted to tow tho two barges to
Homestead. and was on hand with the towboat

barges had boon at the landing below the
Manchester docks. and. according to our In
structions. we went to Davis Island DAM
There we met about 300 men-I suppose they
were Pinkertons-and they boarded tho barges,
about $50 in each. They had repeating rifles
and blue uniforms with them. We lost no
time. and started for Homestead. The Pink
erton men. I must say. were a good sot OF
men. They were orderly and perfectly sober
They made no Noise The Captain in charge
called the men to him. and commanded the
strctest attention to his orders.

He then commanded that tho men restrain
themselves and be quiet. Everything: went
all right with us until We got below lock No. /.

barges. broke her cams She blew her whistle,
and tho Little Bill won't back. relieved her OF
her barge. and went through the lock with
both barges. When We reached Homestead
there seemed to be considerable excitement
As We got nearer tho excitement grew more
intense. Tho people then began firing upon
us. We tried to make n landing then. My

MR. FRICK'S STATEMENT.

Past aud Future.
PITTSBURGH. July TN an interview this
afternoon with correspondent Of THE SUM-
H. G. Frick. Chairman OF the Carnegie Steel
Company. said:
The question at Issue ia o very grave one
1t is whether tho Carnegie Company or the
AmalRamated Association shall have absolute
control OF our plant and business at Home
stead We have decided. after humorous fruit

hcials In the attempt to amicably adjust the
existing difficulties. to operate the plant

est emphasis that under no circum-
stances will wa have any further deal
ings with the Amalgamated Association

Duquesne are both operated by workmen who
are not members OF the Amaleama ed Associa.
ton. with the greatest satisfaction to our
selves and to the unquestioned advantage Of
our employees. At both of these plants the
work In every department goes on uninter-
ruptedly; the men are not harassed byu the
Interference OF trade union officials. and the
best evidence that their wages are sstisfao-
tory Is shown In the fact that We have never
had strike there since they began working
under our system OF MANAGEMENT"
What was the basis Of tho differences ex-
isting at present between the Carnegie Com
pany and their men. Mr.. Frick2"
There were three points upon which we
differed The skilled workmen In the ANAL
gamated Association work under what is
known as sliding scale As the price OF steel
advances. the earnings OF the men advance: as
the prices fall their earnings decrease In pro-
portion. While there is no limit to an advance
OF earnings on the scale. there is a point at
which the decline stops It 10 known as tho
minimum. and the figure heretofore has

How do you regard the present trouble a.
Homestead. from a political standpoint; what
effect will 1t have as O tarin issue In the politi-
ca! campaign OF the coming fall 7"
We have meyer given n thought as to what
effect our affairs might have on either Of tho
political parties. We cannot afford to run our
business and run politics at the same time.
1t would prove very Improbable IL we were to
trim our sails to meet political issues. At the
same timo may say that II is not a matter In
which the protective tariff Ia involved and
every intelligent man. whether he be manu-.
iacturer or employee. Is aware OF the fact. It
is. however. a question AS to whether or not
the propretors or tho workmen will manage
the works. We did not propose to reduce tho
earnings OF our employees below those Of
other Amalgamated men In other mills hs
have said. we have put in improved machinery
which other mills do not possess 1t increased
our output and increased tho earnings
OF our mon. We asked that u reduction
be made In these departments so that the
earnings OF our. employees would be on q par
with other workmen In other Anal t!amated
mills. 1t Is not question OF starvation
wages. for you will please bear in mind the
fact that the proposed equalization OF earn
ings Affects only about 325 men out OF $500,
and they are the ones who earn tho most
money in our establishment. 1t has no effect
upon the wages OF more than 5000 other ON
ployees engaged In our establishments at Du.

rendered necessary because the time for
opening the road under the last petition
and survey has elapsed and the work
will all have to be done over again. The
county Judge assures the CHRONICLE
that at the next meeting of thejcourt on
March 10th an appropriation of not less
than $1,000 will be made for this road
and the CHRONICLE hopes that the court
may see it's way before long to- give
more. But thousand dollars are prom

The CHRONICLE is most anxious that no
false step may be taken in this matter.
1t is of immense Importance that the
proper kind of men should be appointed
as viewers. It might be well for the
people to call in a mass meeting, say at

would like the court to appoint as view
