A BREAK REPORTED.
HOMESTEAD PA, Aug 1.--Gsneral Su-
perintendent Potter claims that there was a
break In tho ranks of the strikers in the
mechanical department last night and that
twenty-five of the best skilled workmen re-
turned to work this morning. The men
had a committee at the gate when the en-
ployes went in this morning, and they
assert positively that but eight OF
the 1000 men in the mechanical
department have broken away. They have
bean preparing for break, they say and
are highly gratiaed ct the result Of their en-
deayors TO prevent one. IL is understood
mill influencing non-untonists TO quit. This
plan was adopted with signal success in
1882, when a whole turn OF strikers went
back to work and sooh organized all the
non-untonists, taking then out on another
fight.
