HOMESTEAD, July 90 The booming
OF cannon Tuesday morning announced
to the citizens of Homestead that Gov.
Pattison had arrived. A large crowd
had gathered at the depot. Rain was
falling steadily and it was very disa-
greeable morning for the governor to
make his entry. The governors priv
ate car was switched off at Munhal
station and the governor went through
the Carnegie mill to the hotel opposite
the entrance. The governors presence
was not discovered for some time.
Finally word was sent to headquarters
and the cannon in front of Gen. Snow
denis headquarters responded with
salute of seventeen guns. While this
was in progress the governor was driven
up the hill in an open carriage. The
cavalry acted as an escort. Gen. Snow
den was at headquarters awaiting the
arrival of his chief.
For the first time since the present
lockout began, the Carnegie Company
yesterday made a pretense of starting
its mills here. 1t was something of a
surprise to Homestead people to see
smoke issuing from the armor plate
mill in the morning, and they were still
more surprised at noon when the big
whistle was blown for the dinner hour
The full power of the whistle was not
put in operation, but the people recog-
nized the old-time sound and many of
them looked down toward the entrance
to the works to see if gangs of workers
were not pouring out on their several
ways to dinner. But none came. There
were worllmen inside the works. how
ever, and they were pursuing their
| duties in business-like manner, seem
ingly without thought that all armed
guard was necessary to protect. These
men We're brought into the works
secretly by the company within the
| past week. They came few at time
until Monday, when the company sue
ceeded in getting in number of work
rs sufficient to guarantee the starting
up of the armor plate mill.
In the afternoon some of the new
workmen made a protective shield for
heavy marine guns in the presence of a
number of military officers. The start.
ing of the mills, following the issuance
of warrants for leaders of the strike,
has shown the advisory committee the
determination of the Curnegie Com
pany officials, but they do not appear
to be downcast at the presence of nom
union men in the places of Homestead
workmen. Members of the COMMITTEES
insist that non-union men can never
run the Homestead mills because OF
~ hot nh hos
of iron and steel, The committee also
has hopes of defeating the company in
the long run on the declaration of a
general boycott by freight handlers
railroad men, carpenters, masons, build
ers and others engaged in construction
work against the Carnegie Company:
product if non-union men are allowed tc
run the mills. Meanwhile the non
union men are ready for another days
work
HOMESTEAD, July 2O.-No attempt
was made Tuesday to serve warrants
On the five men in Homestead who, with
John McLuclie and Hugh O'Donnell
are charged with murder committed on
the day the Pinkertons We're repulsed

out by Alderman McMasters, of Pitts
burg, to arrest the five men wanted
came to Homestead in the afternoon
with subpenas for people whose evi
ience is wanted at the hearing Burgess

out trouble.

about the streets, apparently inditferen
to the serious charge made against them
There was no attempt made at con
cealment of their presence in town
The accused men have decided to evad

they will Immediately surrender ant
ask release under bond on the sam,

They have not made any decision as tt
what they will do if bail is re fused tn

will give themselves up.
The members of the Amalgamated as
sociation have practically decided to ar
ply for warrants for Mr.. FriclS, Andrew
Carnegie and others, but are still il

the warrants, if sworn out for murde
and treason, will hold. They are de
termincd to offset the action of the com
pany's officials by obtaining these wal
rants if possible, and the men are conf
