Burgess 1cLuckie Says he Is Not Afraid To
Face the Law.
YOUNGSTOWN ROLLERS NOT HAPPY

The detectives, in the employ of the Car
negle Steel Company, at Homestead, have
received information as to the whereabouts
of 80 of the missing Pinkerton rifles. A re-
mark from a 9-Year-old boy gave the clew
upon which the detectives went to work,
and they have received sufficient corrobora-
tive information to convince them
that they are at length upon the right track
of the Winchesters. The time for making
the descent has not been decided upon, but
the locality is now under surveillance to
prevent removal of the weapons. The de-
tectives have also clues to several of the
men who are wanted on the treason
charges, and arrests may follow to-day
There is little change in the operation of
the mill. The break in the 35-inch mill has
been repaired, and the management expects
that plant TO be running as usual to-day.
About dozen new men secured work yes
terday, and no desertions were reported.
The converting mill is gradually increasing
its capacity as the men become more accus-
toned to working the big ten ton vessels,
and this gives more steel to be worked up
in the various departments. 1t is reported
that large hotel for workingmen is to be
built shortly at the corner Of Eighth ave-
nue. and Helsel street.
The Men Want to Retaliate.
Members of the Advisory Committee are
anxiously awaiting the action of the grand
jury in the cases against the Carnegie Steel
Company officials mill bosses and Pinker-
ton men. Lawyers have given them reason
to hope that the charges will stand. Chair
man Crawford says that contributions are
again coming in with gratifying regularity,
and that some amounts are surprisingly
large.
Adjutant General W. W. Greenland ar
rived in the city at midnight. General
Wiley and Colonel Hulings waited at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel all evening for him.
Colonel Hulings had an idea that the troops
would be Withdrawn this evening or in a
few days, and he was jubilant over 1t,
but General Wiley said there was no ground
for such a feeling. He was positive the
soldiers would still be in Homestead next
Monday, and the time of their removal is as
uncertain as ever The General denied that
a conference had been called. He said he
got telegram from Adjutant General
Greenland to meet him. but during the
trouble he received at least 100 messages,
and there is nothing signifcantin this fact.
Burgess McLuclie Is Not Afraid.
When seen in Youngstown last evening
Burgess John McLuckie, lately of Home
stead, said: ST don't propose to return to
Pittsburg simply because the Carnegie
Company says 1 must. have always been
a law-abiding man, and If the legally con-
stituted authorities notify me that am
wanted I will return. My present post
Office address is Youngstown, O., and a letter
so addressed, postage paid, will reach me.
IT the Carnegie Company wants me so badly
they needn't take the trouble to get requi-
sition. Let them send an officer here with
warrant and 1 will cross the State line
without giving anybody any trouble.
Prominent men of Allegheny county have
assured me that that they will go on my
bond at any time see lit to return, so the
officers of the company will not succeed in
getting me behind the bars for any length
of time. -
William Roberts, of the Homestead Ad-
visory Committee, was in Youngstown last
night and had a conference with McLuckie.
There is a feeling among the rollers and
heaters of Youngstown in favor of with
drawing from the Amalgamated Associa-
tion. A member said yesterday that it was
the intention now to form aseparate organi-
zation, the membership to include the roll
ers and heaters in the Mahoning and She
mango Valleys, and the new association to
meet the manufacturers on the completion
of contracts under the present scale. 1t is
stated there that when President Weibe
retires from the association next month he
will accept lucrative position with Oliver
Brothers, of Pittsburg.
