thousand OF more OF the strikers Bt Home
stead were coming down for the pur-
pose of storming the Central station and
lynohiDE the Russian. IA order To demon
strate ibat they had no synpathy with him
in his desperate decd.
While not inclined to take much stock in
the report Chief Brown gave orders that the
guard at the station should be doubled and
ordered all the reserves TO remain on duty.
"ODe crime has already bsen committed,
he said and two will not better il. This

SKETCH OF SlB. PRICK.
II. @. Friok. who has come into special
prominence in the recent Homestead
trou bles. is the responsible head Of the Car
neRie Company Under the reorganization
of the great Carnegie concern made Just
urior TO the strike aud the bloodshed July
9th be was made chairman of the board that
con trolls The steel works.
Frick was born in Westmorelsnd county,
Pa. 10 1870. and began life with no capital
but good health. he was. at one time a
clerk IL a small store, but he had a quick
appreciation Of business chances and in-
vested his savings Ia coke furnaces. He be-
came in timo the practical ruler OF the coke
regions. and In this way his business inter
ests became allied with those Of Mr. Carne-
eio. When Dir. Carnegie relinqnished the
active control OF his business he selected
Mr. Frick for president of the Edgar
Ihompson Steel Company.
July "a he became chairman Of the board
Of management OF the Carnegie Steel Asso-
cation, and BY virtue Of that Office he be-
came director of the works at Homestead.
Negotiations were then pending between
the company and the AmRlgamated Asso-
citation Of Iron and Steel Workers in refer
euee 50 new scale OF prices. When
Mr. Frick took charge matters We're soon
brought to a definite point. The CON-
psny refused TO grant what the Amaign-
mated Association asked and shut the
works down.
The steel workers IN this fight have re-
garded Nr. Frick as their arch enemy. He
managed the capital end OF the struggle
with the strikers in the coke regions year
ago.
