MORE TROUBLE FOR CARNEGIE.
The Non-Union Men at Duquesne Quit
Work in SymDathy


Work i'm Sympathy -@
PITTSBCEG, July 23.-The employees of
the Carnegie Steel company, located at
Duquesne, about two miles from the
Homestead works, about 600 in number,
struck at o'clock yesterday afternoon in
sympathy with the locked-out men at
Homestead, leaving only the bosses to draw
the last heat. Gov Pattison left Homestead
for Harrisburg yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing his visit he did not enter the borough of
Homestead at all, remaining in camp all
the time, and when he left the train went
through the mill yards.
Identified Hugh O'Donnell.
1t seems that the Carnegie people intend
to prosecute O'Donnell for murder. Yes
terday he was lined up with a dozeE. other
prisoners in the Jail, and half a dozen detec-
tives alleged to have been at the mill dur
ing the fight on July went one at time
to see if they could Identify any of the
prisoners as having been present and active
during the riot. 1t is said that they
promptly recognized O'Donnell.
Lawyers and Strikers Disagree.
There is a well authenticated report
that the strikers have fallen out with
their counsel, Brennan, and that they will
carry on the strike without legal help as
far as possible. The cause is reported TO
be that the lawyers are az ainst the prosecu-
ton of Carnegie, Prick, and others for
murder and treason.
The Military Guard.
There is good authority for the report
that all the soldiers will be withdrawn
fror. Homestead in n short time except
1000 volunteers, who will remain to the
end. The strikers have issued address
counselling peace aud good order in which
they say that the most evident charac-
teristic of the times is the Capitalization
of wealth in the hands of a few, giving
them despotic power.
Adopt Senator Palmer's Views
The feature of the address is the adoption
of the views expressed by Senator Palmer
in his speech in the senate, SO widely COM
mented upon. with reference to the rights
of workmen in large industrial concerns.
The senator's views are almost literally
adopted. They claim equitable interests
and rights" in the mill that cannot be
modified without due process of law" and
propose to prosecute those rights. In the
meantime they demand of congress and
the legislatures a distinct assertion of those
rights. The address closes with pledge
to refrain from violence.
Evictions and New Meu.
Eviction notices were served on forty
or fifty occupants of the houses on Shanty
hill yesterday. The men can be evicted
whether willing to pay rent or not. Forty
or fifty new men arrived at the mills yes
terday and it is said that the company has
nearly 300 men there now.
Two More Mill Men Arrested.
O'Donnell and Ross had two of their
fellow-workmen for company in the coun-
ty Jail last night. At late hour Detec-
tive Jesse Morris came in from Home
stead having in custody Matthew Foy,
aged So years, father of William Foy, who
was dangerously injured by a Pinkerton
bullet, and Peter Allen, aged so years.
whom he had arrested at Homestead on
warrants charging them with murder.
These are two of the fifteen men against
whom Secretary Lovejoy made informa
ton.
