PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-Lieut. Col.
Streator was arrested at his home in
Washington. Pa, this afternoon on the
charges of aggravated assault and bat
terry and assault and battery preferred
by Private Iams. Col. Streator went
before Squire Ruple and waived hear
ing for appearance at the September
term of court in Pittsburg. Today he
gave bail in the sum of $500 on each
charge and was released. Col. Hawkins
was not arrested, as he is still on duty
at Homestead.
The thirty-ninth day of the strike
closed this evening with both sides
claiming victory. AS result of strenu-
Gus endeavors on the the part of the
Amalgamated association the wavering
laborers were once again brought into
line, and are tonight more enthusi-
astic than the tonnage men
The entire strength of the Amalga
mated association was brought
to bear on the mechanical de-
partments to achieve that, and tonight
it would appear that the pressure was
successful. The head officials of the
iron and steel workers organization and
representatives from Carnegie mills en-
gagged i'll the sympathy strike, eXhorted
the men,

for the future and left nothing undone
to bind closer to them the 1000 day
wage-earnerS who struck to help the
tonnage men. A monster meeting was
held in the opera house here. at which
all day laborers were induced to be
present. On the stage were President
Weihe, Vice President William A Car
ney, Secretary John G. Kilgallion,
Trustee John Pierce and Orator Jere
Daugherty. of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, each of whom addressed the
aSSemblace in turn.
In addition to those officials, repre-
sentatives from the Carnegie mills at
Duquesne and Beaver Falls told how
much the men there were doing for
Homestead, sud how they expected that
the verb ''to waver" was eradicated
from the mental vocabulary of Home
stead workmen. L. w. Brown, who
presided, told the men that they
could expect very valuable support
from trades union not only in this
country, but abroad. In SubStantiating
this he read letters offering aid not only
from different parts of America but
from England and Scotland. A trades
union in Dundee particularly desired to
send money.
Potter Took Them I'm.
An important feature of the meeting
was the report of committee which
went through the mills. A committee
of eight Amalganated association men
of cd n-fn nd
told him of the meeting and how they
would like to see if the mill was
really being operated as was claimed
by the firm. They stated that
they would report at the meeting. The
committee really did not think the
| management would entertain its re-
quest. but Mr.. Potter cheerfully agreed
| to take four members through the mills.
| and he did. The committee reported
| that the firm had large number of men
working, and few experienced rollers,
| who turned out two or three plates
| today. The greater number of men,
| however, were unskilled and useless.
The report was really a surprise to
| the men who would not accept the
| presidents statement. Amalgamated
| officials rallied them Immediately, and
| the meeting adjourned with unanimous
| sentiment in favor of prolonging the
| struggle. That is the strikers
side, and while there is plenty
of enthusiasm on their side,
the Carnegie Steel company, limited, is
rapidly filling its plant with non-union
men. This evening Supt. Potter stated
| in round numbers 300 new men came in
| today and IA Homestead workmen. In
| all, he claims to have 1,200 wOrkmen to-
night, many of whom are skilled steel
| workers. The mechanical departments
| and day laborerS held a meeting tonight
| and decided to remain firm.
A Move for Arbitration.
W. j. Brennan, ESQ.,, representing
| the AnIalgamated association, made ap-
| plication before Judge Ewing today for
| the appointment of voluntary trade
| tribunal to settle the Homestead trouble.
| The petition was signed by sixty
seven former employees of the Car
| negie company. Judge Ewing made
| all order for provisional license
| for the tribunal. as provided for In the
act. If the Carnegie Steel company does
| not sign the petition in sixty days it will
| be dismissed. Speaking of the applica-
| tion, w. j. Brennan, counsel for the
| Amalgamated association said tonight:
81 understand that Secretary Love
| JOY says the company has nothing to
| arbtrate. If that is the case, we will
give them some law. and we will see
whether thers - one law for the rich
| and another for the poor. They will
find when they get into court that the
| jury has something to say. and that
| they are the judges of fact, as we'll as of
the law. We will give them all the law
! they want"
Frfck.s Turn Next.
Mr.. Brennan stated further that the
suits against Frick, LovejOy and Potter
would surely be entered tomorrow. 1t
| is also the intention to lodge infOrma-
ton against the bosses of the various de-
| partments and all who were on the
ground the day of the riot.
F. Mollick, the anarchist baker of
Long Branch, n. j., who was brought
| to this city on charge of completely in
the conspiracy to assassinate H. G.
Frick, had a hearing before Aid. Gripp
this afternoon. Judge Gripp then dis
charged the prisoner, saying there was
not sufficient evidence to hold him.
This afternoon Louis Kieger and
Emil Bashal, two citizens of Allegheny,
presented themselves as bondsmen for
Bauer and Knold, but Judge Ewing re-
fused to accept them, as he deemed the
property they own insufficient.
Warden McAleese says if it was not
for his ravenous appetite and excessive
cigarette smoking. Bergman would be a
model prisoner, He sleeps we'll and
gives the jail officials as little trouble as
any of the prisoners. He hes received
no callers and no mail Since his incar-
ceration. he continues reticent, and
