ARE NOW SHIPPING STEEL.
Freight Agents Say the Output at
Homestead Is Heavy.
TWENTY-FIVE LvICTIONs MADE.
Some Say They Have Not Been Aided by the
locked-0ut Men.
MORE FURNACES TO START AT ONCE

If advance indications count for anything
there will be an eventful Sunday for the
men now quartered in the steel works at
| Homestead. There will be religious SER
| vices in the morning and a sacred concert
in the afternoon. The Chaplain of the Six
teenth Regiment will conduct the service,
and an orchestra from Pittsburg will furnish
the music Had it not been for
the very unpleasant weather the
men inside the yard would have been
treated to band concert last night. Super
intendent Potter had perfected the ar
rangements for the function, but smart
spatter of rain fell about o'clock and
forced everybody indoors The officials of
the Carnegie Company say they intend to
furnish the men now in their employ with
seasonable entertainments, and see to it
that religious service is held in the mills
every Sunday.
Superintendent Potter declares that !, 800
men, if unhampered by union rule, can
work the plant with two full turns of IL
hours each. He claims that there are now
900 non-union men at work. and that by to-
morrow morning there will be at least 1, 200
men ready to begin work.
Denies the Men Have Returned.
In direct contradiction to this assertion is
the statement given out by the Advisory
Board at late hour last night. The Acting
Chairman, Tom Crawford, informed the re-
porters that agents of the board had made q
careful canvass of the mills, and that from
their report the Advisory Board was posi-
tive that there was no truth in the report
that As Amalgamated men had returned
to work.
No word came from Hugh O'Donnell
yesterday, and although he came in for
deal of speculation and criticism among the
people of the borough, none of the Advisory
Board would talk on the subject
Twenty-Five tenants of as many of the
Carnegie Company moved their families to
other quarters yesterday. Dispossession
notices had been served on these people.
There was no immediate necessity for the
removals and the notices gave them until
Monday night to take away their goods. A
heavy rain was falling when the bed-raggled
procession of furniture vans made its way
down Eighth avenue toward the village.
Some Refuse to Go Out
Seven or eight Of the company's tenants
have determined to remain in their cottages
until evicted by due process of law. The
evictions will probably take place to-mor-
row or Tuesday. The incident created
little comment and no excitement in the
village.
A number of the evicted men are loud in
their denunciations of the firm. At the
same time they allege that they were not
given the assistance from the hun
dreds of idle men here which
they expected and which they al
lege would have prevented much of the
loss which resulted from damaged furniture.
Captain Penny, of the militia, was in
formed by Foreman Mechling in the mill
to-day that he would have to leave, as
daily strikers call upon his wife and tell
her that he is marked man.
Among the teachers in the public schools
of Homestead are the daughters of Will
lam Bailey, the chief engineer at
the steel works. Yesterday it
leaked out that a number of the
men had determined to
compel these two young ladies to resign
their positions. The only cause of COM
plant, SO the story went, was that their
father is working for the Carnegie Com
pany. Inquiry revealed that the story was
true.
Making War on the School Teachers
"Yes," said one of the leaders of the |
1--WE are going to ask the school |
directors to demand the resignation of the |
two young ladies. Their father is a nom |
union man, and we do not want our chill |
dren instructed by any member of his FAM
ily."
The school directors were interviewed BY |
a DISPATCH reporter last night The d.
rectors were a unit in declaring that under |
no circumstances would they ask the ladies |
to resign. The directors are in sympathy |
with the men, but they say the Misses |
Bailey are capable teachers and that they
will not be removed for any act of their
father.
The six foremen in the mechanical depart |
ments who went out last Monday because
they said their lives were in danger from |
men, applied for thoir positions
again to-day, but were informed that the va
cancies had been filled.
Several open hearth furnaces are to be
charged on Monday, No. in No. mill and
the others in No. q
