GALL FOR HOMESTEAD STRIKERS.
They Have Been Failing: on the NeciSs of
Hated Piukcrtons-

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 30-It was
learned yesterday that the Pinkerton
agency ONE time ago sent forty men into
the Carnegie mill rs non-union workmen.
These men deserted in small squads, and
were taken into the strikers ranks They
gained the confidence of the Amalga-
mated leaders, and, it is said, gathered
considerable evidence against participants
in the riot of last July. 1t is also said
that they have discovered the hiding place
OF the captured rifles and will proceed
against those who have possession of
them.
Going to Look for Those Guns.
A surprising number of PiukerUon men
were in Homestead yesterday and there is
much suppressed excitement over the pro-
posed search for the guns of the captured
Pinkertons For several weeks Pnker
tons best detectives have been eudeavor
ing TO locate the weapons and now with
the authority of search warrants they pro-
pose to compel the possessors of the Win
chesters to surrender them. Two months
ago the great steel works shut down, and
so far as the men are concerned there is
perceptible wea kening, nor do the MAORI
ty express any doubt of victory. The
firm insists that so far as they concern
ed the strike is over, and point to the
mills rs their evidence. -
