DU0UESNE MEN GIVE IN.
WILD RUSH FOR WORK WHEN
THE HOUR CAME.

covs in When They Saw That the
Tte Was Given Up.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. S.-Fhe strikers
=. Duouesne went to work this morning and
the Carnegie Steel Company has scored one
victory. On Saturday Supt. Morrison
,osted notice to the effect that all men who
had applied for their old jobs should report
at the mill at o'clock this morning as the
mill would resume at that hour. Long be-
fore the time set, however, workers with
dinner pals quietly stole up unfrequentea
streets and along the railroad tracks and
entered the mill uuobserved by their fellow
strikers. AS Z o'clock approached the mum
her Of men who had entered the mill yard
through this means numbered 400.
RESULTS IN A STAMPEDE.
About sixty men who were leaders In the
svnpathy strike movement gathered on
the road near the mill gate ana watched In
moody silence the men going in to work.
Finally the mill whistle blew for z o'clock.
At that large Irishmen exclaimed in a
loud voice: "Well, men, the jig is up; we
had better hustle for our old places" This
was the signal for a panic and the entire
crowd ran LOWArU Jue gaze. n
train was backed in front OF the gate, but
the men did not wait for IL TO be moved,
but scrambled over and under it ia their
frantic haste to get inside the mill before
the whistle stopped blowing. 1t was a
complete stampede.
ROUGH ON THE ASSOCIATION.
The meu were organized into the amalga.
mated association at no little expense and
they went out on the sympathy strike move
- 1iraa IQwr kbn,~
render they are expelled from the amalga-
mated association and the Carnegie icou-
panY has two non-union mills. The effect
Of the break at Duquesne cannot but prove
harmful to the meu at Homestead, although
the leaders will not believe it. The Du-
quesne steel billets can be sent to Home
stead to be rolled into plates by non-uuion
men, so that the firm will be in far better
condition to fill its contracts and prosecute
its fight here.
sTREAToR REFLECTED COLONEL.
Col. James B. Streator was tonight re-
elected TO his position in the Tenth
regiment, his term having expired. Col.
Streator became famous for his connection
with Private Iams' case. The reelection Is
an Endorsement by ali of Iams' companions
in arms of the punishment meted out to
him. Iams was in Homestead and after
the election three hearty cheers were
heard from the provisional brigade across
the river. The discharged private inquired
the reason and was greatly chagrined when
he learned the truth. The reelection of
Col. Streator apparently gives the greatest
satisfaction among the Mil1tianen here.
The entire camp gave three cheers when
the election was made known.
The advisory COMMITTEES gave out to-day
that since Saturday between $50 and 1S0
non.union men have left the works. The
committee is not surprised over the Du-
quesne surrender, 1t having been expected
for week. There is no disbursement
here in consequence. The Duqussne mill
was running In full this evening and there
is much rejoicing there among the mer-
chants. A few Homestead men were near
the mill gate at o'clock tonight and hissed
the men when they came out. There was
no violence, though.
MORE ARRESTS TO BE MADE.
LOvejoy, OF the Carnegie company,
announces that before the week is out
large number of additional arrests of
strikers will be made on charges of riot and
murder. The amalgamated association
leaders say they also intend to bring addi-
uonal charges against members of the firm
and Pinkertons.
The sensation Of the day at Carnegie's
upper Union mills was the resignation Of the
night pudding boss, Richard Nichols. He
has been in the employ Of the company for
trusted workmen about the MILL Immedi-
6VelY after leaving the works, he went TO the
hmalgamated headquarters where he stated
mat the step he had taken was due to the
TACT that his work had been made extremely
unpleasant since the strike had been in
sugurated. He says he has been shifted
from one position and station TO another
