ESPECIAL TO THE NEwsI
HOMESTEAD, July 16.-The following
notice was posted on the gates OF the
Homestead mills this morning:
THE CARNEGIE STEEL COMPANY LIMITED.
NoTICEi
Individual applications for employment at
the Homestead Steel Works Will be received
by the general superintendent In person or BY
letter, until p. NJ. Thursday, July II, 1857. IL
is our desire TO retain In our service all OF our
old employees whose past record Is satisfac-
tory and who did not take part In the at
tempts which have been made TO interfere
with our rights 70 manage our business. such
time above named will be considered as hav,
ing no desire 10 re-enter our employment and
given to other men, and those first applying
will have the choice Of the untitled positions
for which they are suitable.
The company says 1t will start July %
at Beaver Falls, and Union mills July Is,
and claims to have men to run both
mills full banded. The men at Duquesne
and Braddock mills will not come out.
Whether any OF the men will 60 back Is
a question. Outside aid, financial as well
as sympathetic. Is coming In and 10 calcu'
lated to make the strikers feel stronger
sss than eaSs saSSy rsa said H aSsn Mssa
asked about probable desertion There
is not man who will desert the asso-
citation, not q single man. There has,
probably, never been such unanimity OF
opinion In strike in this country, and
we will present an unbrokent front to the
end"
Last night between 0 and 10 o'clock
some fifty or sixty men passed through
the gates. The watchmen said they were
clerks, but there was light In only one of
the Offices, and IL would not hold that
number. 1t Is pretty certain that repair
hao for fxvn duvs af in
side and that to this extent the Home
stead works have already started up
again.
There is much more Of life within the
works than on any save the day OF death
since the shut down OF two weeks ago.
There is a cook there and 1t Is estimated
that there are seventy-hve non-union men.
A break among the laborers will be the
first difficulty with which the AmalRa.
mated will have to contend.
These men, who swell the number of
the locked-out men to imposing figures,
are not eligible to membership aud not
entitled to strike benefits. Anything
that they get from the association will be
sheer charity. They know it, and from
the talk which some OF them have had
with the military officers they place far
less dependence upon that charity than
upon their own ability to earn their living
in the works In case they are allowed to
go back to them.
Gen. Snowden is again installed COM
fortably at the Carnegie Hotel. The cook
and two mattresses aud two chamber
maids, the menial staff of the establish
ment, decided yesterday that the even
tenor of their easy lives was disturbed by
the military invasion. They were not
"sympathetic" strikers but simply ser
wants who did not like double work.
They called upon the hotel manager with
their grievances.
The manager promptly discharged them.
and what the Pittsburg papers have been
trying to dignity into sympathetic
strike is at best peremptory lockout.
Two colored boys have taken the places OF
the girls much to the relief OF the staff
officers, who have suffered much from the
regal bearing Of the dining room dianas. I.
