TRIED TO START UP
The Armor Mill Gives Signs of
Life.
BUT NO MEN PASS OUTAT NOON
TIE Accused Men VIII SerfendeI-The
Troops 10 Remain Until the Works
Are Started.

HOMESTEAD. July 1s.-For the first
time since the lockout the Carnegie
company today made a pretenss Of
starting lts mills here. IL MAS some
thing of surprise to Homestead peo-
pie 10 see smoke issuing from the
Armor plate mill this morning and
they were stiIl more surprised at noon
when the big whistle Was blown for the
dinner hour.
The big whistle did not blow with its
accustomed volume. but the people of
the town recognized lis familiar tone
and turned to look at the big gate as if
expecting to see q crowd of workmen
turn out for dinner. but they did not
see them. That there are non-union
men within the works is fact. There
are, to all accounts, about LIS OF them
and they were taken in the mill In small
parties. liz 10 said half dozen or so
OF the most expert are from the Carne-
gle mills at Braddock. These men are,
however, but q handful compared with
the large force necessary TO run the
mills and until great many more are
secured the mills can do practically
nothing but keep up \ ssmblanee vi
working.
No Farther Arrests Made.
No attempt was made today to serve
warrants on the five men in Home
stead who, with John McLuckie and
Hugh ODonnell are charged with muir
der committed on the day the Pinker-
tons were repulsed. Constable Web
Der, one of the trio sent out by Alder
man McMaster of Pittsburg yesterday
TO arrest the five men wanted, came to
Homestead early IN the afternoon with
subpenaes for people whose evidence
is wanted at the hearing of Burgess
McLuckle in Pittsburg tomorrow.
This duty was accomplished with
out trouble. The constable went
about his work and quietly and without
calling on the militia for protecn0n, as
be and his two colleagues did yester-
day wnen they attempted to serve the
warrants. When the subpoenas had
been served. Constable Weber went
back to Pittsburg without having at
tempted to arrest Ross, Critchlow, Elan
nagan, Burkett or Flaherty. These
five men were to be seen about the
streets Of Homestead today apparently
indifferent TO the charges made against
them. There was no attempt at con-
cealing their presence in the town.
The accused men decided to evade ar
rest until after the McLuckie bearing
tomorrow.
The Others will Surrender.
If the burgess is admitted to bail they
will Immediately surrender and ask re-
lease under bonds on the same grounds
a. those asked by McLuckie. They
have not made any decision As to what
they will do if bail Is refused the bur.
CESS, but 1t is probable that they will
ultimately place themselves in custody.
Hugh ODonnelPs friends say they ex-
pect him back in Homestead tomor-
row.
The fact that q warrant for his ar
rest has been issued must be known to
him by this time and his many ad-
mirers here contend that he 10 not the
kind of man who would run away at
this critical time. Governor Pattison
inspected all of the second brigade
stationed ON this side of the river to-
day. He expressed himself az very
much pleased with the appearance of
the troops. He was the guest at sup
per this eve of the city troop of Philsk
delphia. Tomorrow he will inspect the
third brigade.
Troops to Remain.
Major General Snowden, command
ing the state troops here. has decided
not to withdraw his division until some
definite settlement that will preclude
further trouble of q serious character
has been reached between the Car
negie company and the Amalgamated
association. He decided tonight that
his whole command would remain
unil peace was entirely established. So
successful has been the efforts of the
company to place non-union men in
the works that the military believe the
remainder of the number required viii
be allowed to 60 IN without OPPOSITE on
from the union men il they are dscov.
