LAWRENCEVILLE STRIKERS.

They Struck Through Sympathy for the
Homestead Locked-out Men and Have
Remained Firm Think the Strike VIII
Not Be Declared Off Officially.
The strikers at the Lawrenceville mills of
the Carnegie Steel Company held their
usual meeting at their headquarters yester-
day morning. The reports of disaffection
in the ranks of the locked-out men at
Homestead were looked upon with appre-
hension. 1t was decided to stand out
and let the men at Homestead take
the initiative in any movement
looking to declaring the strike of. About
$50 men, members of the Amalgamated As
sociation, are still out at these mills. Since
the strike was declared less than halt a
dozen men have deserted the ranks and
returned to work. The laborers and me-
cbanics were never really out, and went
back as soon as men could be procured to
take the more responsible positions held by
Amalgamated steel workers. As the work
is not very complicated there was no great
difficulty in securing men, and these mills
were in full operation sooner than any
other of the various Carnegie plants.
Until yesterday, the members of the
Amalgsmated Association at Lawrenceville
most emphatically said they would not re-
turn to work. But a change was then
noticed, and they not only talked more
freely, but in a less determined manner
They we're inclined to acknowledge that the
strikers were losing ground, but still main
tained that the Amalgamated Association
had not OF would not officially declare the
strike off
One of the strikers, as spokesman for a
party, was talked to yesterday. On being
asked what would be done next he
said: Il don't think the association
will ever declare the strike off Things
will simply run along and the men grad
ually drift to other places for work. The
mills are full here and there is no other
course left. We think the mechanics and
Iaborers at Homestead held out loyalty and
have not word to say against them. They
could not be blamed for returning as they
did. The Amalgamated Association will
go on as in the past, and with these men at
work, the burden win be much lighter and
our members can be cared for better, for
the strikers who were not members of the
association received the same benefits as
those who were. The Amalgamated Asso-
citation has withstood strikes before and
will live after this one is over"

THE ENGINE OVERTAXED.


Three Men Narrowly Escape Death in q
Water Street Building-The Elevator
They Are on Drops Down Seven Stories
at an Awful Rate.
A thrilling accident occurred in the new
building in the course of erection at Wood
and Water streets last evening. Arthur
King, the foreman of the bricklayers, and
two other workmen were on the elevator
used for hauling materials to the upper
stories and were going to the top of the
building.
The elevator was overladen with lumber,
and just as it reached the seventh story the
engine became powerless to hold it, and the
elevator with its burden of human freight
and lumber went crashing to the bottom.
There was great excitement among the
workmen. The employees throughout the
building, more than 100 in number, rushed
to the scene of the accident expecting to
find three lifeless bodies. But when they
reached the elevator they found 1t was not
so bad as they anticipated.
Mr. Kings knee was dislocated. He
was removed to his home on Troy Hill,
Allegheny, in cab. He was also bruised
some about the body. He is about 80 years
OF age.
Edward Robinson, colored, aged 81, of
Fulton street, had one foot mashed and
leg hurt
Lawrence McNallv, aged As. who lives at
South Third and Carson streets, had his
back badly injured.
All the men were more OF less bruised by
being tangled up with the lumber in the
fall. Robinson and McNally were both
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. A
workman, who narrowly escaped being hit
by the elevator, said that he considered it
almost miracle that the men were not
killed. "The elevator has carried Is men
to the. top story with safety" said he, 'but
it was loaded too heavily this time and its
weight reversed the engine. The engineer
tried TO hold it, but it was beyond his con-
troll. I do not know who was responsible
for the loading of the elevator"
