PITTSBURG. July 27.-When Henry
c. Prick was shot last Saturday he said.
while the doctors were engaged in prob
ing the wounds, that the tragedy would
have no effect whatever upon the policy
of the company toward the Homestead
troubles. That he meant what he said
was evidenced today, when Secretary
Lovejoy appeared before Secretary Nc
Masters and swore out thirty-six infor-
nations against as many of the ex-em-
ployes of the company, and upon which
warrants were immediately issued.
1t was significant, however, that these
warrants made change in the nature
of the otfense, the men being charged
with aggravated assault, instead of will
full murder. This is taken as showing
that the company doubts its ability to
sustain the main charge against any of
the men, and has concluded to content
itself with charge which may secure
some convictions. 1t was significant
also that among the names of those in
cluded in the Information were those of
nearly every eX-employe who has teSti-
fed before the cOroner's jury that the
first shots OF the morning of July
came from the barges.
Peculiar Choice of Victims.
The fact that the company should
have selected these men as its victims,
especially III view of their being wit
nesses before the jury. has created IA
great deal of comment, and that not
very favorable to the company. The
policy Of suppression Of names in the
information was again carried out
today, and the majority of the men will
have no knowledge of the facts until
they are placed under arrest. 1t is un-
derstood that new ones will be m AIDE
from day to day for some time, but
the advisory committees provided with
ample bail, and not one of the men will
be allowed to stay in jail an hour longer
than the machinery of the law will al

Private information says the warrants
sworn out today include the names of
nearly every member of the advisory
committee, as we'll as some of those who
have already been arrested. charged
with murder and released. Tomorrow
morning Judge Magee will hear the mo-
tion for bail for both Close aud Critch-
low.
In regard to the workmen's petition
for arbitr alton. as provided by the act
of 1888, Mr.. lovejoy says the company
will not sign any petition for the estab-
lishment OF conference cou 1T. There
will be no deviation from their Ultima
tum. No arbitration and no conferences
will be agreed to.
More Arrests Made.
More arrests for completely in the
riot were made today By Constable
Morris, of Pittsburg. The men arrest

followed the prisoners to the train. A
