ly, and there is now much dissatisfaction in
their ranks Many of the old men have
applied for their old positions They have
the promise of the first chance.
The men who want to remain out and who
voted to not declare the strike off held an
other nesting at their headquarters yester-
day. They were greatly encouraged at the
report that the Homestead ex-strikers
would come out again, as they were not
pleased with the non-union men with whom
they had to work. They thought this was
an indication that they had pursued the
proper course in not following the example
of the men at Homestead and Beaver Falls.
The report was the talk OF the men near the
Lawrenceville mill yesterday afternoon and
taken as indicating that the strike was not
nearly settled
Some of the Men Still Hopeful.
One of the men who had attended the
meeting in the morning was very jubilant
in commenting on the report and said: 1--WE
are going to win this strike vet We are in
the right and intend to stay just where we
are"
The more conservative looked at the situ-
alton differently. One of the men who
want the strike declared off and get back to
work said: 81 don't believe the report,
and should it be true, it would be a very
foolish move. 1 think the strike is lost.
fought as long as there was any hope for US
to win, but L am tired of the whole thing
now. The truth of the matter is the strik-
ers are fighting among themselves and If
this thing keeps up much longer, as it has
since last Saturday, the men will be so
angry as to be almost ready for free fight
among themselves. 1t has simply come to
this that if the men could have any assur-
ance of getting their old positions there
would be general break, whether the strike
was declared off OF not
Much Want Among the Strikers.
''There is already great deal of want
among the men here. No man can keep
family as he should on "a week. That is
all they have been getting and with the
cold weather coming on good many are in
a bad wsy. Things have become so bad, In
fact, that yesterday an extra allowance was
added to the usual benefit, for all who had

associations fund for distribution will be
more plentiful, but from what have seen

With relation to the report that the
Homestead men would come out on an
other strike, Secretary Kilgallon, at the
Amslgsmsted Association headquarters,
said last evening: "There is no truth in
the rumor. 1 can't conceive who could
have started it Surely no friend of organ
lied labor could have done so, as it would
be the height of nonsense to do such
thing and could accomplish nothing but re-
feet discredit to the association"
The national officers of the Amalgamated
Association are doing all they can to get
positions for every blacklisted man at
Homestead and the other Carnegie mills
that have been on strike Every lodge in
che country has been written to, with en-
couraging results. Daily meetings will be
held at the headquarters until all have
been provided for. Many have been To-
Gated already.
