HOMESTEAD. July 22.-Increased activity
was noticeable inside the big miil-fence to-
day. Non-union workmen are coming BY
squads OF from ten to twenty at q time by
boat from Pittsburg. and a few have got in
unobserved through the town of Home
stead. Something like 250 non-union men
are now inside the mill. The armor-plate
mill, the open-hearth mill and the press
shop are in operation. Steel was passed
through the rolls of the 119-inch mill to-
dav. The operation of these departments
means that Nr. Frick and Superintendent
Potter are making great efforts to convince
their old men that the mills can be run
without their aid The tonnage men are
too well informed of the true condition OF
affairs inside the mill to be alarmed at
the seeming activity. They know ths.
the mills now IN partial operation
are manned by bosses. superintendent
and half dozen non-union steel workers
from the Carnegie mills at Braddock. They
know that 200 green men cannot run plant
where $500 experienced hands were en-
pioyed one month ago. Mr.. Frick conf
dently expected twO-thirds OF his old hands
70 return before the expiration Of the time
which he set. The leaders OF the strike,
therefore. claim q victory in holding their
men together, for not per cent. OF the en-
tire number have returned 10 their old places.
They are confident that they can continue
this state Of affairs indefinitely.
NOTICES OF EVICTION SERVED.
Notices of eviction were served on the
families who occupy the Carnegie houses on
Shantv Hill this morning. The tenants are
given ten days in which to move out. There
are between thirty and forty families IN these
houses. The men have been on strike since
the mill closed, and they failed to return IN
response to the notice sent out bY the com
pany They have paid their rents right along
but the company want the houses for non
union men and the leases give the company
the right TO O. ect tenants uponten days notice
at any time. The men will now be gwen the
option of returning TO work or being turned
out of doors. Several Of the men said this
morning that they willreturn to work rather
than be put out of their homes. One OF the
leaders of the strike announced that quart
ers will be provided for all the families now
in Carnegie houses. The leaders Of the
strike and their attorneys are at logger,
heads. Hugh O'Donnell has accused
Lawyer w. ]. Brennan of having betrayed
him and the cause of the Amalgamated
Association. This breaking off with
the lawyers is said to be due 10 the stand
the attorneys took against issuing warrants
for Carnegie, Frick and IoveJoy on charges
of murder. which the strikers were very
anxious 10 do. small-siZed race war when
threatened the Carnegie plant at Homestead
