THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 12.-The latest
move of the Amalgamated association Is
an attempt to get the iron establishments
at Pittsburc and elsewhere to refuse
material that comes from the Carnegie
mills. A circular headed, can Appeal 70
Workingmen'' is now in course of dis
trbution 1t reads:
''You are requested not to work up
materials that may be shipped from the
works of the Carnegie Steel company
during the present strike. By so doing
you will help US gain victory in our
present struggle for the organization"
The joiners and carpenters at HaUch's
boat yards at Hazlewood struck today
against handling iron girders manufac-
tured at the Carnegie mills
A rumor has been going around that the
Duquesne men are dissatisfied and are
coming ont again. The story cannot be
confirmed. Important developments are
looked Tor at the Union mills within the
next twentv-tour hours, but just what the
move will be is not known.
The report that Mr.. Frick's life may
again be in danger from the Vaccinations
of Anarchists seemed to be credited to
some extent by Mr.. Frick, as well as by
the Carnegie officials and the police au-
tnorities. The force of detectives has been
doubled at the offices of the Carnegie COM
pany. and every one visiting there, unless
well known to the officers on dnty, is SUBJ
Ject toa strict and searching scrutiny and
has to run the gauntlet of nquisitlve and
Interested eyes. Secretary Lovejoy, iu
commenting on the report, said today:
I'VE have no direct or special informa-
ton in regard to this man Aaron Stamm,
or his mission to attempt the life of Mr..
Frick. While there may be some truth in
k.a, II IL.
Mr.. Frick to any extent. Personally, / do
not think there is any danger whatever of
any further attempts being made against
Mr.. FrickS life, but prudence dictates
that some precautionary measures be
taken.n
lIrTSBURG, Pa. Aug. 12-The executive
board of the American Federation of
Labor decided today hat no boycoft should
be placed upon the Carnegie products at
present. The reasons for this, according
TO an officials statement given oE6 tonight,
are that the council sot the opinion that
the firm is not turning out enough
material to justify Il boycott. Should it
be necessary in future to order "a boycott.
however, the board says that il will not
hesitate 20 do so.
/ CLEVELAND, Aug. 12-Grand Chief En-
Gineer Z. NJ. Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers WAS interviewed
concerning the reported intention of the
advisory board OF the Amal2amated asso-
cIated to request all train operatives. in-
cluding the engineers, to refuse to trans
port material made bv or intended for the
Carnegie company.
Il do not know exactly what the advis-
ory board proposes to do. We have re-
ceived no notice of their desires and even
If correspondence were opened DO not be-
lieye II would result in a boycott, for this
reason: The Brotherhood of locomotive
Engineers is under a contract with nearly
every railroad ia the country TO haul its
Trains so long as the com pauies live up to
the terms OF their agreements. We re-
gard these contracts as sacred and not to
be broken under any circumstances AS
matter OF course there is nothing in the
agreement which would warrant us in
taking such action as you have indicated
My personal opinion is that the brother
hood viii take no action"
