liefs and to incite them to leave the
works has resulted in failure A few
days ago some anarchistic literature was
found among the workmen, and an in
vestigation resulted in the discovery
that three disciples of anarchy were in
side the big fence in the guise of mill
workers. These men had been talking
among the mill hands, but had appar-
emily made no converts. Their literature
was conhscated and they were dismissed
from the employ of the company.
A United Press reporter was taken
through the Homestead mills yesterday
by Superintendent Potter. He saw be.
tween 250 and 300 men at work in the
various departments. Mr. Potter said
that ZOO men were inside the works
They worked, he said, in two turns, and
only the day force was ON duty at the
time. The workmen appeared to be a
very intelligent class and few foreigners
are in the works but some more Hun
garians will be brought in to do some
work that American worlSmen refused to
do. A number of the men are intelligent
German mechanics but a majority of the
wOrkmen are Americans
A visit TO the kitchen, bath house
laundry and dormitories showed that
the statements by some of the non union
men who left the mills were exaggerated
if not entirely without foundation The
dormitories mere bunk houses as they
are called, are clean and neat The kitchen
was a model of its kind and the other
arrangements for the comfort of the work
men were replete with every convenience.
/ The storehouses were filled with superior
articles of diet Mr.. Potter said the
men were boarded and lodged free and
that a laundry has been estab lished and
is also at their disposal
Three bunk houses, comfortable and
neat in appearance have been built and
another will be ready for occupancy in
less than twenty-four hours. Besides
these accommodations. cool spots around
the works are filed with sleeping quart
ers. There can be no doubt that steel is
being made in the mills. The work is
principally on armor plate, while some
bridge iron and bolt iron is being turned
out. The reporter saw six pieces of steel
armor plate, each of ten tons made yes
terday in the armor plate rolling mill.
Troops Departure Makes strikers Bold.
[By Telegraph to the Evening JournaLl
HOMr STEAD, July 29-Several accidents
occurred recently, which 60 to show the
temper of the locked-out steel workers,
and makes plain the fact that the condi-
tion of affairs is not entirely changed.
The withdrawal of so many troops has
given some of the hot-headed men among
the workmen an idea that they now have
more liberty to forcibly prevent the com
ing of non-union men TO the works The
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Strangers is again transacting business.
Forty-five non-union men were placed
in the Homestead works this morning
The twenty. three inch mill was started
to-day, and men are being familiarized
with the workings Of the cogging an6
new beam mills, preparatory to starting
them. This morning the following
notice was found inside the mill: Home
