pany announces that twenty-seven Of
the old men were granted positions to-
day; also, that over 100 hundred men
came in from the east. The influx of
unskilled workmen, superintendent
Potter says, has been so great that he
has telegraphed to send no more at
present. 1--WE have broken the strike, I"
he said. The strikers are apparently
undaunted, however, and it is q rash
and unwarranted conclusion that they
will flock at once to the mill. They
admit that some desertions have oc-
Cured, but claim that in q day or two
some of those who did 60 to the min
will reconsider their action.
A BREAK IN THE. RANKS.
General superintendent Potter claims
that there was break in the ranks Of
the strikers in the mechanical depart
ment last night, and that twenty-five of
the best skilled workmen returned TO
work this morning. A committee of
the strikers was at the gate when the
men went in, and assert that only eight
of the 1900 men in the mechanical de-
partment have broken away. 1t is said
there are now several strikers in the
mill influencing non unionists to quit.
This plan was adopted with great sue
cess in 1888, when the whole turn Of
strikers went back to work and soon or
ganized all the non-union men as union.
lists, taking them out on another strike.
The 100 deputies on guard at the mills

Superintendent Potter says enough
arms are in the mill to arm all their
workmen if necessary.

The Thirty-third street mill got fairly

Joseph Driver, Charles Reynolds,
John Williams and George Kincaide,
brought here to take the places of the
strikers, this morning came to the city
where they called upon Attorney Bren-
nan, and complained of the treatment
received while in the mill. They all
say they were brought here by false
representations, and also that there are
at least 150 men in the mill who want to
come out, but are prevented by the off,
cials, who will not allow them outside
of the high fence.

assault and battery, highway robbery,
larceny, pocket-picking and other
crimes and misdemeanors. 1t is stated
that several women participated in the

and will charge them with aggravated
riot and assault.
THE ANARCHISTS CASES.
friedman, attorney for the anarch-
ists, will tomorrow ask for their release

yet, to get bail for Bergman. Attorney
friedman takes no stock in the report
that friends in New York are endeavor-

was arrested by the Allegheny police
this evening, but afterwards released.
The old man was badly frightened and
denied that he was an anarchist. He
said he was formerly member of the
Allegheny group, but resigned several
months ago. Bergman ie q stranger to
