Full Handling the Crowd.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 22.-The strike
having been officially declared off, grand
rush was made yesterday by the strikers
10 get back to work. As early as six
O'Clock the rush began and it kept the po-
lice busy handling the crowd. By 9
o'clock the rush was over, but they con-
tinued to go in in twos and threes and
this will doubtless be kept up for some
days.
A large number were turned away, some
with good prospects of securing their old
positions in the near future, while many
were informed that they would be given
no work under any consideration. 1t is
now plainly evident that the black list is
quite long and those whose names appear
on this list will be forced 10 seek work
elsewhere. The firm is inclined to favor
the old men as much as possible and there
has already been a large number of colored
men discharged to make room for old en-
ployes.
