History Of the Trouble.


The strike at Homestead is the result OF a
fight between Andrew Carnegie and the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers. The Amalgamated Association
consists OF 81, 900 members.
The immediate causes of the strike may be
summed up as follows. The appointment OF
ii. e. Frick, who is known to be opposed to
organized labor as Chairman OF the Board
of Trustees of the Carnegie Steel Associa-
ton: the declaration Of an ultimatum to
the Amaigamated Association. and the al
legged neglect OF Mr.. Carnegie TO aroltrate'
REPRESENTATIVES Of the Amalgamated Asso.
cittion state that the new scale contemplate
such sweeping reductions that the men were
not able to sign it.
After a long discussion the work
men agreed to accept minimum Pr1ce
for steel billets of sA a ton. Mr..
Frick, however, would not 90 beyond
s23. This made difference Of 81 per ton.
An ultimatum was then made by MIR. Frlck
that the new wage scale be signed oy mid
night of June "a, and that after that hour
there would be no conferences. lmmeol-
atsly after this Mr.. Carnegie's representa-
tives began to fortify the works at Home
stead.
The great steel works at Homestead cover
10 acres. Twelve big buildings and score
of smaller shops and sheds occupy much of
the space. Among these are the converting
mill where Bessemer steel is made, the beam
mill the plate mill. the armor plate mill.
the open hearth nil. the finishing depart
menr. the ten-,nco, the twentytwo-inci an:
the 119-inch mill, and the big plate pressing
room.
The water for the works comes from the
Monongahels River and is sufficient in quan.
tity to supply town Of so, 900. One hun
drsd and fifty boilers run the great engines,
the pumps and the steam hammers.
Natural gas for fuel is furnished by tha
company's own well. About 1900 men are
employed, and the output is fout times as
big as from the great Krupp WORKS in Gar-
many.
The Carnegie company has purchased 100
additional acres and will add it to the wor;s
next year. 1t is already fenced in by heavy
barbed wire.
The steel works are completely surrouniei
by stout board fence twelve feet nigh,
built upon foundation Of Stag three teeG
high. The fence is three miles long an is
strung along the top with three strands o.
barbed wire, so connected VITA the electric
plant that the turning Of switch makes the
wires alive with powerful current OF elec-
tricty.
Hydrants are stationed at frequent int.r-
walls, from which great streams OF hot or
cold water can be poured. the fence is
lighted with electric lights, while powerful
search lights make the approaches as ciesr
as day. Four-inch portfolios ara borad IN
the fence. The Office is fenced additionally
and railroad track connects it witn the
Munhall station.
A bridge connects the Office with bu' /
ing outside tue worSs. The place has be Ell
completely fortified, and preparations have
been made to accommodate an army o. de-
tenders.
\ big camera has been set up to take in-
Simultaneous pictures in case Of riot. On the
river front is an armed steel launca.
