booked on a charge of murder at the police
station. This charge will be preferred
against every fugitive who Is caught.
Large numbers of frightened nnn-union
men are gathered here. They huddle to-
gether, aud seem TO be daZed over their
rough experience, but are willing to 90

right in the mines. Unless that is done
that section during the next year will be
the theater of many dark and bloody
crimes of vengeance.

WHAT STEEL COSTS,
The Pr ofits Made by the Mills OF Carnegie
At Homestead.


PITTsBURG. July IA Sunday paper
says that when the congressional COM
mittee held its Investigation its chief object
was to discover the exact amount expended
in the manufacture of ton of steel. Frick
refused TO answer the question on that
point, and although the Homestead work
men did all that was possible to obtain the
figures, it was without result. The greatest
caution was exercised to prevent the
publication of the figures, but the cost
Of making q ton Of basic open hearth and
acid open hearth was secured. The official
hgures were taken right from the books of
Carnegie, Phipps * CO. of Decent Der %,
1889. There follows lengthy itemzad
statement, which shows the total cost of
acid open hearth per ton TO be $50 9S and
the total cost OF ton of basic open hearth
TO be S24 Al. The paper, analyZing the
statement, says that at that time acid omen
hearth steel was selling at S55 per ton. The
cost OF production would be S26 9S, but to
be Just 1t Is necessary to enumerate the ex-
pense attached to rolling ton of acid
open hearth into plates and also the
cost In the slabbing-mill, and that
the total cost of one ton therefore
reaches Sal. giving Carnegie & Co. profit
per ton of S14 exactly. The figures of the
Basic opan hearth show that ton would
net profit of something like SIG. Since
December, 1899, the minimum basis
dropped from $50 per ton to S25. The re-
ductions in all the departments were ac-
eepted and the cost OF labor was made much
lower.
President Weihe Of the Amalgamated
Association being shown the figures said
they were certainly strong evidence. and
had they been in the possession of the
Homestead men while the investis ating
committee was here they would have made
strong arguments.

that they will remain firm to the last, and
that the mills will never be operated by
