 PITTsBURG, July S.-H. c. Prick. chairman of the Carnegie Company. was
 interviewed this evening as to the olf | ferences between the comr any and the
 men. He sad that skilled worEmen Tn l the Amalgamated Associaticn worked
 under what is know as the sliding scale. | AS the price of steel advan ced so did the | earnings of the men and vice versa. | While there are no limits to the advance | there is point at which the decline
 stops. We believe" he said: If the earnings can advance without limit the
 workmen should be willing to follow
 the selling price down to unreasonable
 minimum, and instead Of S25 as the minimum We fixed S23. The reason for
 this was that We had spent large sums | of money ID the introduction of new machinery by means Of which wOrkmen
 were enabled to increase the daily out put, thereby increasing the amount Of | wages, Another point was the date of | the expiration of the sliding scale, June | 30. We asked that the date be changed | to Dec. 3l to permit us to take estimates beginning January l, so that We would | be enabled to make contracts for ayear accordingly. The Amalgama:ed Asso | u. the proposed reduction Tn tonBge rates. | We are prepared to show that ID nearly every department under the proposed reduction skilled workmen would make more than they did when the scale of | 1880 went into effect. As a rule the
 men who V ere making the largest wal es | were the ones who most bitterly de- nounced the proposed revision, for out inhf ma employed only 324 were directly affected by the reduction. Finding 1t imp0ss- lble to arrive at an agreement with the l amalgamated officials, we decided to close the works"
 When asked as to the reason of the employment of the Pinkerton men
 Prick sad that they did not see how e!se l they could have protection, doubting
 the ability of the sheriff to enforce or
 der at Homestead and protect property. Trick said, that as to future difficulty Ii was in the hands of the Allegheny county authorities.
 Tricks attention being called 10 the | widespread interest aroused and the
 proposed congressional inquiry, he said they welcomed the proposed investiga- tion and were prepared to submit facts and figures which would convince Ln prejudiced men of the equity of their position. Prick further said regarding | the political situation: "We cannot af ] ford to run our business and politics at | the same time"
 He continued I've did not propose
 to reduce the earnings of employees be- | low those of other amalgamated men ID
 other mills. We put in machinery oth
 CT mills do not possess, increased the
 output and earnings of the men. We ask that the reduction be made sO that ! the earnings of our employees be on a
 par with other workmen in other anal
 gamated mills"
 HOMESTEAD, Pa July 8.-Fhe sItua-
 ton is absolutely unchanged. TGere +
 nothing tonight indicating what the next step will be. Perhaps troops will be ordered here, but no one can say. The sheriff has made another intellectual effort to obtaln admission for the dep uty sherltfs to the works and to raise a | posse in Homestead. A proposition has been made to the strikers that they per
 init deputy sheriff'e to peacefully enter the works and assume charge. The | proposition was considered at meeting, | but no conclusion WAS reached. It Is
 thought there was general expression
 in favor of accepting the proposition. Men are intensely suspicious and fear
 the introduction of deputies, but look 1 for more inn Ortant actions. They th.nk that Pink5rtons will follow the depu- ties and that non unIon men will follow the Pinkertons. Both these latter they
 say will resist to the utmost. The boil
 CT men are advising the strikers to per l init the deputies to come on peaceably, but it is granted the strikers insist the | deputies to come on peaceably, but It
 IS granted the strikers insist the dep | uties shall be neither numerous nor we'll armed and shall not
 make move to protect the men whom
 the firm may introduce, The move is
 really but a continuation of a forcibe preventing of the continuance of mill work with ground for legal contention !
