MORE WORKERS ARRESTED.

Burgess McLuclkie and Five Other Home
stead Men Are Arrested Charged With
Aggravated Rioting - They All Give
$4,000 Bail and Waive a Healing.
Six more of the Homestead workers who
were on the list made out by Secretary
Lovejoy Wednesday were arrested yester-
day. Alderman McNasters sent his con-
stable up to Homestead armed with
numerous warrants. After hunting around
town for awhile, they found five of
the men together, arrested them and
brought the party into the city. Tney were
Hugh Ross, Burgess McLuckie, William
Blakely, Elmer E. Bail and II. Trautman.
The warrants read that they were charged
with aggravated riot. They waived hear
ing and gave bail in the sums of 1000.
Michael Maloney furnished the bond for the
first four strikers and Trautman's father
went the bail of his son. The men were
brought into Pittsburg on the first train
yesterday afternoon. After their release
they all returned to Homestead.
Yesterday morning Charles Atwood, an
other of the men who were wanted tor ag-
gravated rioting, came into McMasters'
Office and gave himself up. He was given
bail
The other men could not be found yester-
day. The constables are still out and will
eventually get all the men wanted. Since
it is known that Critchlow could not get
bail, some of the other strikers are feeling
a little blue over the outlook.

removed to Chicago and was employed by

Mr.. Potter had me blacklisted. 1 returned
to Homestead, and in the evening of the

that persecution alone animated my arrest.

OVER HALF DESERTED.

Story Of . Cincinnati Man Who Came to
Pittsburg to work-A Revolt and Fight
When the Passengers Destination waa
DiscIosed-The Other Side.
Joseph Manning, of No. 64 Park street,
Cincinnati, yesterday related his experiences
while en- route on the Baltimore and Ohio to
this city. Said young Manning: "Fifty-
four of us boarded train in Cincinnati at
7:3O o'clock last night under the direction
of F. W. Nye, an employment agent at No.
110 Longworth street, who promised us
work in Pittsburg. All of the men seemed
in good spirits until Wheeling was reached,
when from some cause or other ten OF the
party deserted.
'In order to prevent any more escapes q
guard, heavily armed, was placed at each
end of the car. At Whitehall station the
men became suspicious that they were
being taken to Homestead and revolted.
In the free fight which followed the guards
clubbed their guns and held the men back.
Many ofthem broke the windows and escaped
before the train reached Glenwood. When
the train reached Smith6efd street station
the car only contained q of the 81 men who
occupied the car on leaving Cincinnati. The
agreement made with Nye was that we
would receive one months board and
clothes free, and at the end of three months
We could refund the cost of our first months
maintenance. When deserted there were
20 left who, think, went to Homestead.
Superintendent Holbrook, of the Lake
Erie road, denied the story and declares
the non-union men made no attempt to
leave the train. He said there were only 81
of the men. They all started from Cincin-
natl. He declared there was no trouble
until the train reached Whitehall, where a
committee of the locked-out men tried to get
on the car to persuade the men to 60 back.
The man in charge of the men said he re-
fused them admission and had to hit one of
the assailing party on the head with the
butt of his revolver. Mr.. Holbrook de-
clares they all came to Pittsburg and went
to the works on the Little Bill

GAS PRODUCERS IN OPERATION.

MIL,

Busy Scenes in and Around the Upper Union
MIL.
Notwithstanding the denial of General
Manager Dillon that they were simply
cleaning out the,gas produce rs, and no at
tempt would be made to operate them for
the present, at least, yesterday afternoon
large volumes of smoke issued from the
stacks that tower above the gas houses in the
Upper Union Mill. The producers in use
yesterday supply ten furnaces connected
with six plate, one 10-inch and one 12-inch
mills.
To-day, it is said, Manager Dillon will
start up another gas plant; the one near
Thirty-fourth street. This supplies an
equal number of furnaces The fact that
the gas houses are in operation
removes all doubts that the firm will make
an attempt to run the Upper Union Mill.
There were a few police on duty in the
vicinity Of the plant yesterday, but most of
them have been recalled.
The workmen are much exercised over the
report that there was an attempt to blow up
the Lower Union Mill on Monday. They
claim that If there was an explosion in the
mill at all it was due to some careless en-
ploye. The Press Committee have lnvesti-
gated the matter, and after thorough ex-

AFRAID OF B00K.AGENTs.
Female Drummers Cause CONSERVATION in
the Homes of Homestead.

Female Drummsrs Cause CONSERVATION in
the Homes of Homestead.
Three women went to Homestead yester-
day with drummers' cases and gave out that
they were book agents. They visited a
number of houses and conversed with the
women and children. 1t is claimed that
after few preliminaries they would turn
the conversation toward the riots and try
to draw the women out as to their knowl-
edge of the affair, and particularly the
part their husbands took in it. The men
are convinced that the book agents are re-
ally female detectives in the employ of the
firm, whose sole object in coming here is to
collect evidence. In several OF the houses
the alleged canvassers, after lengthy con-
versations, departed without making any
endeavor to dispose of their wares.
The presence of the women was soon
noised over the borough, and many stanch
housewives nerved themselves to give very
warm receptions to the supposed detectives
if they were approached. Several work.
ingmen vowed on the streets that if they
were interrogated the book agents would
return whence they came in a battered con-
dition.

Three Non-Union workmen Leave the
Homestead Works snd Tell Very Inter-

Experiences.
Three men, j. R Evans, residing at Nc
Donough P. O., Del, John A. Miller, of
202 Market street, Philadelphia, and Hugh
Sweeney, union compositor residing in
New York. after staying two or three days
in the Homestead mill, decided to
leave. All three of them have very inter
esting stories to tell of their experiences
while in the works, but probably the best
account is given by Sweeney. .-.-..

way from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, but

Company were furnishing free Transports

son reaching the MILL" said Sweeney,
"Iny companion and myself became dissat-
isfied and wanted to leave. When we ap-
preached the guard he told us that we
would have to get pass from Mr.. Potter.
That gentleman refused to furnish the per-
nit to leave, SO we put our wits together to
devise scheme whereby we could escape.
Yesterday morning. while the men were
at breakfa fast, three of lis sneaked out into
the yard, climbed over the ba rk fence and
ran down the railroad track. There is little
or no work going on inside Of the mill.
The ten-inch mill was in operation yester-
day and made SO bars. They seemed to be
very good from what heard the bosses say.
The armor plate mill was also running, but
no other actual work was being done. In
all, from 80 to 40 men were at work making
iron or steel. About 100 mon were at work
erecting sheds, hunks and cook houses for
the men to live in. There were in all 700
men in the mill, but nearly all of them
were walking around doing nothing. About
500 Of them were Hungarians. A lot of
machinery was in operation, but no work
was being done. A number of men were at
work cutting no defective beams to be used
as scrap in the open hearth department.
The open hearth department was not in
operation.
"When we went into the mill we were
offered overalls, Jumper jacket and cap.
but We did not want to work
and did not take them. They get
you to put on the overalIs and take your
own clothes from you. Then a man who
goes out of the mill is marked, and as most
Of the men are ignorant foreigners they are
afraid they would be set upon and killed if
they appeared on the street in those clothes.
A large number of them would try to escape
if it were not for that fact Many, how
ever, do not:know that there is a strike in
progress They are actually ignorant of
what is going on. The company stick a
pipe in their mouth, paper of tobacco in
their clothes and put three good meals a
day into their stomachs and they are con-
tent. Among the more intelligent class
there is growing desire to get out Of the
place. 1t is like cage"

As soon as the boys had placed their

Two Railroad Agents Given Very Warm
Reception.
An exciting incident occurred yesterday
afternoon on Twelfth street, Southside, that
resulted in pretty badly frightening two
alleged railroad agents. Early in the after
noon two men put in their appearance and
began to solicit candidates from among the
idle workingmen for work on a new rail-
road. Everything went smoothly till
rumor to the effect that they were trying to
get men to go to Homestead was
started. 1t spread like wildfre, and
in a few minutes the street was
filled with excited people. The mob started
after the two supposed Carnegie officials,
and were soon making it interesting for
them. The boys began to pelt them with
sticks and stones The police were called
out, dispersed the crowd and gave the
visitors an opportunity to explain what
they were there for. Further than saying
they represented a railroad company, but
which one could not be learned. little could
be got from them. When released they left
as quickly as possible.
