A Shipload Of European Iron
Workers Now on the
Ocean.
Amalgamated Agents Keep

All Ports.
The Newcomers to Be Pre-

PITTsBURG, July 16.-This evening
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated
association, received information that
the steamer Switzerland, of Peter
Wright d Sons Red Star line, was
On its way to this country with
a shipload of European iron workers
for Homestead. The news created
great excitement in labor circles, and
President Weihe Immediately wired his
agents in Jersey City and New York to
look out for the steamer. Replies
stated that the Switzerland had not ar
rived yet, but was overdue, and would
probably 60 on to Philadelphia. The
Amalgamated association agents in
Philadelphia were notified to keep a
lookout for the ship, and as soon as it
reaches there efforts will be made to
prevent them from landing under the
contract labor and pauper laws
Detectives at Work.
Information was also received at
Amalgamated headquarters tonight that
detective from Kansas City had called
upon Mr.. Frick today and offered to
take a number of men up to Home
stead. A committee was sent out to
investigate the matter, and they re-
turned with the report that they had
discovered number of detectives from
other places. They Surmise that the
Carneges propose to employ these men
to 90 among the strikers and learn their
plans. Thirteen letters were received
by the Amalgamated officials today from
labor unions in different parts of the
country rendering them sympathy and
aid to locked-Out men at Homestead.
New Allies for Norknfen.
President Weihe has been informed
OF very important action on the part OF
the train employees of all the railroads
centering in Pittsburg. Several davs
ago it is stated that meeting of the
train men. resolution was unanimously
passed that In event of work being
resumed at Homestead that plant being
operated by non-union workmen the
trainmen will positively refuse to haul
either finished or raw material into or
out of Homestead, nor will they haul
any freight or cars destined to or from
amy mill owned or operated by the
Carnegie Steel company.

HOMESTEAD, July 16.-Letters were
put in the postoffice today to every old
employe of the mills, with about forty
exceptions, running as follows:

July Is. We invite you to return to your old
position. Work to commence at the usual
time. Respectfully,
j. W. POTTER, General Superintendent.
Besides these epistles posters were
put up all over town as follows:

ment at the Homestead steel works will be
received by the general superintendent,

Such Of our old employees as do not apply by
the time above named will be considered as
having no desire to re-enter our EN- mployment
and the positions which they held will be
given to other men, and those first APPLYING
will have the choice of untitled positions tor
which they are suitable.
The CARNEGIE STEEL Co.. LINfTED.
H. G. FRICK, Chairman.
This differs very materially from the
announcement of the company's inten-
tion made in Pittsburg this afternoon.
In the city it was stated that non-union
men would be called to the places of the
old men who do pot come forward and
resume their work. Here in Home
stead no such threat has been made.
and yet the strikers regard that declar-
alton as the real thought of the COM
nanY.

military guard at the works. 4eSter-
day the civil engineers and outside men
showed their dislike of this sort of pro-
lection by refusing to do duty while the
military occupied the plant, and the
foreman and boss mechanics OF the
armOr-plate shop who did not go out
with the other workers followed the
example of the outside force, baslng,
their decision in this connection on the
same ground.
"These notices mean nothing" said;
Hugh O'Donnell today. .'Similar no.
tices have been received before, and the:
men laughed at them. This fight has
just commenced. The strike of $50 oe-
Cured in the dead of winter, and when
the men were importuned TO return TO
work they refused to do so, although
some of them were without proper
clothing or means of subsist-
ence. Men who were obliged TO
tie rags about their feet be-
cause they did not have fOOtgear were
quite rs finn in their determination to
stay out until the fight ended as were
those better provided. The Carnegie
company cannot start these mills with.
any other workers than those right here
in Homestead. These notices prove it.
They might send men from their other
mills to work the local plant, but even
these men have not enough experience
and knowledge In the technical work to
be able to do anything succe ssfully. 1t
is fight to the end, and the company,
will lose"
MIR. Shannon, one of the members of
the advisory committee, said: Neither
the posters nor the notices sent to the
old men will have any effect whatever.
l regard the whole thing as confession
of weakness on the part of the Carnegie
company. and so do 80 out OF 100 men
in our ranks. Our men will get back
readily as soon as we are satisfied as'to
the scale of wages to be paid. Until then
we Will not go back. We know that to
mills cannot be started for effective
work without the men who are idle in
Homestead, and they will not 60 back
until the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers tells us that we
can properly resume our work."
"How long can you keep up the fight
on these lines?'
Five years." Mr.. Shannon answered.
''LoOk at the figures. The idle mills
are costing the Carnegie company $780,
600 day. The militia is costing the
state about $4,000 day. total OF S74,-
600 day. Say that the supply of each
one of the $3.50 workmen amounts to 50
a day, there is $1,000 day the lockout
costs us. Well, we believe that we can
pay 81 as often as the Carnegie company
pays $40 for just as long time as they
care to so into the struggle"

ARE ONLY TWENTY IN.
Non-UniOnists Very Limited in
Number

HOMESTEAD. Pa. July 16.-Today has
been the quietest that Homestead has
known since the declaration of hostlli-
ties between the company and the men.
There are undoubtedly new men intro
duced into the works, but their num-
Der is small, and the strikers
are confident that many cannot with
out great difficulty be brought in.
The new men are looked for by river.
and the scouts of the Amalgamated as
sociation located in Pittsburg wire to
headquarters continually the informa-
tion that no non-union men can be
found who have any purpose of coming
to Homestead. A number of colored
men from the Virginia mills are said to
be prepared to come here. but the
Homesteaders do not believe that the
reports are plausible, and say that if
the men come they will undoubtedly
have the liveliest time they ever saw in
their lives.
At the Carnegie mills all is quiet to-
day. Although smoke is rising from
the two stacks in the mills, visit to the
yards showed that about twenty nom
union workingmen were. busy in the
patent mill. and not fifty, as originally
stated. These men are mostly laborers
who have most wholesome fear of
committing themselves to any state
ment whatever as to how they came
here or how long they propose to stay.
The work so far done in the mill is in

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 16.-Tbe lead
ers of the workers went from Home
stead to DuQuesne tonight, where a
mass meeting of the men employed in
Carnegie's works at that place was held
to consider the question of striking in
support of the Homestead men. No de-
cision was reached, and another meet
will be held tomorrow afternoon. The
Homestead leaders are jubilant, ana
claim that the Duquesne workers Will
strike next week.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-The sew
eral hundred workmen of the iron and
steel mills in Kensington who went on
strike some weeks ago have now decld-
ed not to return to work until the strik-
ers of the Carnegie mills do so. They
acknowledge that they are not in the
troubles at Homestead and Pittsburg,
and state that they have come to the
decision to stay out for principle.
PoTTsTowN, Pa. July 16.-A large
number of Hungarians, employees of the
Pottstown Iron company's steel woIks,

Homestead to take the places of the
strikers in the Carnegie mills. AS a

BosToN, Mass, July 16.-A few days

Cleveland calling his attention to this
statement, quoted from report in the
British-American Citizen, of discourse
in Music hall: when Cleveland be-
came president he had wire run from
the White house to the cardinals pal
ace, and placed Roman Catholic at the
head of every division of the $4,000 en-
ployes in the departments, and per-
mitted nuns. without authority and
against the printed Instructions hung
up in every public building in Wash

them and command every clerk to con-
tribute to the support of the Roman
Catholic church, and if he or she re-
fused, have the yellow envelope sent
them. We can see how unworthy such
a man is of support"
A Manly Reply.

British-Ameriean Citizen this week,
reads as follows:

NATIONS ARE ANXIOUS.
G1adstOne's Return to Power Is
the Cause.

GladstOne's Return to Power Is
the Cause.
LONDON, July 16.-The victory of Mr..
Gladstone is viewed with considerable
apprehension In Berlin. Vienra and
Rome. Since the tall of Bismarck and
his English-baiting policy, and the re-
newal of the triple alliance, the three
peace powers have felt that they had
the moral support of Great Britain.
This moral support has always been
needed by the triple alliance, as, in the
shadow of great British navy, the
naval inferiOrity of the triple alliance. to
the dual alliance was less apparent.
Even the extreme radical organs in
Germany have favored Lord Salisbury
as the representative of strong foreign
policy, which is most likely to hold back
Russia in Asia, France in Africa, and
both OH the continent.
Thus the VOssissche Zeitung says
''ln the election contest between Glad =
stone and Salisbury there was no queS.
ton of Liberalism and Conservatism
The Salisbury cabinet while in office
have adopted no measures which in
principle confiicted with Liberalism.
The defeat Of Gladstone would not have
been the defeat of Liberalism, while is
triumph is likely to disturb England in
ternationally and to change the now
satisfactory foreign relations of the en-
pire."
The Hamburger Nachrichten and the
Munich Allgemein Zeitung reflect to
the opinion of Bismarck. who always
professed to despise England, and con-
tend that the emperor will now see the
futility of having sought closer relations
with England at the eypanSe of Russia
Reports from st. Petersburg show
that similar impressions prevail there.
for it is believed that the Liberal states
man will be more favorably inclined to
Russia's political and so-called Cult
ure-Mission" in the East than the Con.
servatives under Salisbury. 1t is also
believed that there will be less chance
of England siding with the triple alll
ance in the event of European war.
