HOMESTEAD, PA, July 16.-The fol-
lowing notice was to-day posted by the
Carnegie Steel Co., at the Homestead
mill In the vicinity OF the works and
was sert al over the country:
Mic Edividual applications for en-
sloyhent at the Homestead Steel Works
will be received by the General Supern-
tendent, either by letter or Ia person, uu-
til6p. m, Thursday, July 2l, 1892.
1T Is our desire 70 retain in our service
all Of our old employees whose past record
is satisfactory, and who did not take part
In the attempts which have been made 10
interfere with our right to manage our
business.
'Such Of our old employees as do not ap-
ply by the time above named will oe con
sidered as having no desire 10 re-enter our
employment, and the positions which they
held be given 70 other men ana those nrst
applying will have the choice OF untitled
positions, for which they are suitable.
This notice viii be the last given 70 the
employees Of the works aud after non-com-
pliance with this the places will be filed
with non-union men"
That there are non-union men in the
Homestead mill and more coming to-day
Is evident from what Mr.. LOvejoy said.
When asked how many nOn-uniOn men
were In the mill, he said:
"Well, now, really I cannot discuss
the details of this question, and am not
at liberty to tell you how many men
there are in the mills"
"Wiil you say how many men will go
up to-day or before you get ready 70
start the mill?"
"No, cannot. There are some
things the public has no right TO know,
and that is one OF them. There is not
the least doubt, however, that we will
have enough men 20 work the mill in a
satisfactory manner. The Homestead
mill will be started up July 23d, and
the notice posted to-day will be the last
The men at Beaver Falls and our
Union mills will be given until Monday,
July 18th, to return TO work under a
new agreement. The Union mills will
be started Monday, the 18th, and we
will have no trouble in getting COM
petent men 10 fll the places in spite Of
what the men say about no one but old
hands being able to successfully run the
works"
The Carnegie Steel Co. has advertised
for bids FOR furnishing materials and
building 100 houses on the city farm
lease. Munhall Station. These houses
will be for the use of the men employed
in the mill. The location is inside Of
the enclosure and protection will thus
be assured 10 men even in their houses.
The houses will form 6 10 5 rooms aud
each will be built separately on a good
sized lot.
If there are non-union men in the
mill there are not more than ten or
twelve A prominent and well inform
ed labor leader explained the smoke by
saving: ''The cupOlas are filed with
dolomite, and are lighted 20 save the
burned stone in them. A few furnaces
are fred also, this being done, 10 save
them from dampneSs. These people
were never stopped going 20, or from
the mill Our people thoroughly under
stand why the men are there and are
not alarmed about 1t, nor are they con-
cerned over the lighting OF the fur
naces."
At nine o'clock this morning the
steamer Tide, loaded with provisions,
started for the works at Homestead.
She passed through lock No. /, where
six or eight men boarded her. The re-
port from this lock was that the men
were lab0ring men. So strongly was
the rumOr circulated that a large train
load of nOn-uniOn men was to be
broughtin last night that several Of the
correspondents stayed up all night TO
watch their entry, which was not made.
There are quite number o. men In the
mills, however, and they can be seen
plainly from the house that overlOoks
The mill property, moving about Inside
the works. Provisions enough to main

taken ithia the Carnegie fence, and
