Papa, Put Down That Gun"
Mrs. Siles hurried to the parlor and as

gun at her. She rushed up to him, and
throwing her arms about his neck tried
to take the gun from him. Zigler pushed
the aged woman aside violently, pointed
the gun against her left breast and fired.

officers withdrew and after while Zigler
came out. He appeared dazed and was
easily captured. Threats OF lynching
were heard on every hand, citizens drew
revolvers as II to shoot the prisoner and O
number of men struck Zigler. After a
struggle the officers got him into wagon

Works Declared Of.

Men May be Displaced.

PTTTsBURo, Pa, Nov. 2i.-The great
strike at Carnegie's Homestead steel
works has been Declared of. This action
was taken at meeting Of the lodges OF
the Amslgamted Association at Homestead
yesterday afternoon, the vote standing 10l
In favor of declaring the strike off, and Sl
against It,
Among those present were Vice. Presi-
dent Carney, Secretary Killgallon, Treas
urcr Madden and David Lynch, OF the ad-
visory board. The officials In plain
words told the men the strike was lost
and advised them TO take steps to better
their condition. The remarks met with
considerable opposition, but the majority
favored declaring the strike on.
Those who were In favor OF declaring
the strike of were jubilant, while those
who were against 1t were badly put out.
Many OF the latter were men who had
Applied in Vain
for positions in the mill or felt sure that
their names were on the company's black
list. A member of the advisory board
said yesterday that he had been trying to
get the strike declared OF for some weeks.
Those who cannot get back are In bad

many hundreds Of them have nothing to
live on. The people in Homestead are
highly elated over the calling of OF the
strike, for IL It had continued much long
er IL would have ruined the town.
Many business houses have fallen Into
the hands Of the sheriff since the strike
has been on. Business Is expected to re-
sumo it's normal condition soon. The
Homestead strike lasted about five months
and II has been one of the most disastrous
in the history of the country. The strike
at one time involved nearly 10000 men
and
the Loss in Wages
will reach, 1t is said, about q, 600, 900.
The loss to the firm is estimated at
double the amount lost by the men In
wages. To this can be added nearly half
q million dollars paid to the state troops
and the cost to the county OF Allegheny
for the riot, treason and other cases grow
ing out OF the strike.
The news of yesterdays action was re-
ceived with dismay by the strikers in the
two Lawrenceville mills OF the Carnegie
compIny. These men were sympathy
strk.ers and went out at the time the mer
at Beaver Falls and Duquesne struck
The Duquesne mill gave up the night In
three weeks and the Beaver Falls men de-
cided to go back Saturday. The Law
renceville men, however, had no intention
of giving in. They are very angry at the
Homestead men and will probably declare
the strike off today.
