Some of tho Son-union Workers Desert
the Milis--A Trusted Employe Stops
Work.
HOMESTEAD, Pa. Aug 0.-There were
about 10 non-union men at Amalgamated
headquarters yesterday. They had left
the mill, they said as it was too much like
prison. One mechanic added that IL
men in his crew quit work yesterday
morning, and would be ont when they got
their money. lie further asserted that $50
men went to Pittsburg Saturday night and
only Is returned. A German roll turner
from Essen is among the deserters He
claimed that he had to sleepin his pants to
prevent them being stolen.
One man, from Bermuda, said he came
out to get Il glass of beer and if he could
get back and tell the people how they
would be treated $50 men would quit at
once, The locked out men are greatly en-
cuuraged by this turn in their favor and
say the Duquesne matter is q stand-off
now.
I'VE received 80 applications from old
men to return to work to-day" said Super
ntendcnt Potter at the steel works yesten
day. Several of the men were accepted
and went to work at once.
TRUSTED EMPLoYE QUITS WORK.
The sensation of the day at Carnegie's
upper Union Mills was the resignation of
Night Superintendent and Puddler Boss
Richard Nichols. He has been in the EN-
plov of the firm for Is years, and was one
of the most trusted workmen about the
| mill.
Immediately after leaving the works he
went to the Amalgamated headquarters,
| where he stated that the step ne had taken
| WAS due to the fact that his work had been
| made extremely unpleasant since the strike
| had been inlugiruted. He says he has
been shifted from one position and station
| to another until the work has simply be-
| conc Inbearable,
| In connection with the workings of the
| mill, he suid that the Is and 90 inch mills
| did not start yesterday as was reported.
| The strikers, he said, gained victory this
| morning by inducing two of the best
heaters to leave the mill. In regard to the
number of men who werc working, no
stated that there were less than at any
| time since the strike began, and that be-
fore the plant can be successfully operated
| II will be necessary to make many repairs.
| The acquisition of Nichols has greatly ell
Outraged the strikers.
/ FORMER OH BRoK FRS AT WORK.
Among the men now working in the
Homestead plant are four well-known and
| at one time wealthy oil brokers. They
are Linn Dilworth, G. y. Lesley, John Nc
| i.aughlin and ]. Il. Agnew. The gentle
men are highly educated and move in the
best society in the city. At one tiE1e Nc
lAughlin was considered the "highest
roller" on the Oil City and Pittsburg Elk
| change.
SECRETARY Loyejoy stated last evening
that no attempt would be made to start
the Beaver Falls plant until the other
mills arc running full.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 9.--The Carnegie
company has checked the retreat of its
nonunon men, which began at such an
early hour yesterday morning as to
| threaten to depopulate the mill in a week.
/ M further demonstrations have taken
place this morning and several of those
| who left yesterday returned to-day.
The firm claims that no Inconvenience
resulted from the leaving of the men yes
terday, and that the mill is operated as
before. The number of applications for
positions, according to accounts at the
mill, continues to increase, but the men
were afraid to report at this time On the
other hand the leaders of the locked-out
men are making claims OF continuance
of the assertions.
Hugh O'Donnell has telegraphed that
lie has secured $4,000 in money. The
committee therefore proposes at once to
dispatch committee west and south.
dispatch from Duquesne this morning
states that the mill is working satisfac-
torily. Several of the workers there tried
to extract "a promise yesterday from the
men that they refuse to work after all for
Homestead. The steel-workers, however,
did not give any assurance, and it is proba-
ole that they are too badly beaten to make
any resistance.
