HOMESTEAD. July 29.-Tonight the
Old scenes that were familiar prior to
the advent of the sol ldiers are being en-
acted in Homestead. Knots of strikers
are to be encountered every few yards
Oh the principal streets, discussing
the best and safest means of rout-
ing the nOn-union men now in
the mill. While much interest is
taken in the discussions, the leaders
continue to caution the more radical
men against the employment of force.
Were it not for the troops, the fence
around the mill would not long separate
the union and non-uuion men.
1t is said that all told ninety men who
went out on the 2Sth of June have ap-
piled for and received their old posi-
tions. Early this afternoon word was
received that thirty-fve non-union
men were on their way from In
dianapOliS to Homestead, and that
they would reach Pittsburg this
evening. A committee was sent out
with instructions to intercept the men
and use all honorable means to prevent
their reaching HomeStea ad. A telegram
was received stating that the non-union
men had all agreed to return home to-
night.
O'DOnneII,s :ecret Mission.
Speculation concerning Hugh O'Don-
nell's whereabouts is again on tapis,
and all sorts of rumorS agltate the
locked-out men who aIe not in the con-
fidence of the advisory committee.
VI af -;
Assembly No. 3, K. of L., said tonight to
the Associated Press representative
that O'Donnell is not on vacation as
reported, but in New York. arranging
diSagreeable surprise for the Carnegie
Steel company.
The differences between the manu-
facturers and the Amalgamated associa-
ton will now doubtless lie settled by
arbitratian. At The last conference ID.
B. Oliver, representing the masters,
made an unanimous proposition to ar
bitrate the differences under the Wal
lace act of 1888. The proposition has
been referred TO all the local lodges with
favorable recommendations by the COM
mittee. and it is confidently expected
by both sides that this will put into
effect at the next conference meeting,to to
be held week from next Thursday.
-.. A Payday Fight.
The strikers at Duquesne were paid
off this afternoon, and fight between
man named Burke and watchman
named Foley almost precipitated a riot.
At the hearing Foley's son struck
Burke in the face. The crowd threat
ened to mob Foley, and the deputy
sheriff'S wired to Homestead for assist
ance. The prompt arrival of the Sheriff
and troops prevented serious trouble.
and the FoleyS were taken away under
the protection of the cavalry. They were
held for court.
Since the departure of the large body
of troops the strikers are congregating
on the streets and discussing the fight
in louder tones, but it IS not probable
that they will again attempt to so thor
oughly control municipal affairs as they
did. 1t is safe to say, however. that
nOn-union men will not find their wav
unobstructed.
AT meeting of the advisory commit
tee today there was present committee
from the Frick Coke works in the Con-
nellsville region. The visitors told the
committee that if the Carnegie COM
pany is successful in startin g up its
Homestead plant with new men the
FLICK coal men would go out.
Berkman Held for Trial.
Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
who attempted to aSSaSSinate ii. C..
F'rick. was given hearing in the pri-
vate Office of the Jail this afternoon, and
held for trial at the September sessions
in $4,000 bail. The only witnesses
were Vice Chairman LeShman, who
was with hr. Frick at the time, and
David Forney. the elevator boy.
Berkman said it was not true that he
tried to shoot Mr.. Leishman. 81 did not
want to touch any one but Frick; l
meant to kill him."
During the hearing Bergman was re-
markably cool, and smoked constantly
at a cigarette. 1t IS stated that in New
York reds" are raising fund to de-
fend Berkmau.
David Land. who claims to be an
anarchist, was arrested on the street to-
day while making a drunken harangue
to crowd and was sent to the work
house.
Can Raise $4,000.
Paul Eckard, a leader among the total
anarchists, in an interview this evening
said: 1--WE can get all the bail we want
for the Imprisoned anarchists. We can
raise $4,000, and they should and will
be admitted to bail. | know what l am
talking about when l say that they can.
not do anything with Bauer or Knold.
They are anarchists, it is true, but that
is not a crime. We will not see them
snffer."
When asked what the Allegheny
groups thought of Mr.. Frick, he said:
"Well. they think he is an oppressor
of labor. He did more, however. to
help our work along at Homestead than
all the circulars and tracts we could
have published"
''Was Herr Most at Homestead?"
81 guess he was"
Threatening letters continue to reach
several of the leading officials of the
Carnegie Steel company. The letters
are said to be anonymous and mostly
written in red ink, while a few are
adorned with suggestive skulls and
crossbones. No alarm is felt by the
Carnegie officials, who consider the let
tiers the work of crankS.
