the whole boat was afame. The engi-
neer was roasted to death at his post,
and negro roustabout was thrown the
length of the boat, being killed almost
instantly. The gas continued to burn
in the middle of the river, and other
boats were compelled to tie up until the

Nobody Starving,

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1s.-The story
that 1SO families are starving here has
no foundation. The fact is that as yet
every one has plenty in Homestead. A

them it was stated that the wives and
children who shop for the locked-out
men are paying cash and have not begun
to use credit. AS result of idlenoss

A Talk with Mr.. Fricl1.
Mr.. Frick was seen in his office at
Pittsburg Friday night, and asked if a
part of the mills We're not in operation.
He replied:
"We have already put some men in,
and they are now at work,
"What is the number"
"About sixty, think; though | must
admit don't know the exact number.
There may be more"
How soon do you intend to introduce

tation to the locked-out men who may
be willing to return to work asking
them to apply for employment"
Yes"
"When?"
Tomorrow; and here" he added,
calling up one of his clerks, sis a print
ers proof of the circular which l shall
have posted at all the entrances to the
Homestead mills tomorrow"
1t is headed thus, THE Carnegie Com
pany, Limited, and reads: Individual
application for employment at the Home
stead steel works will be received by the
general superintendent either in person
or by letter until 6 D. m., Thursday
July 81, 1892. 1t is our desire to retain
in our service all of our old employees
whose record is satisfactory and who
did not take part in the attempts
which have been made to interfere in
our efforts to manage our own business.
Such of our old employees as do not ap-
ply by the above named time will be
considered as having no desire to re-
enter our employment, and the positions
which they have held will be given to
other men, and the first applying will
have the choice of untitled positions fo1
which they are suitable"
The circular is signed ''The Carnegie
Steel Company, Limited, H. c. Frick,
Chairman"
More Trouble Promised.
Mr.. Frick's troubles will not cease
even with the introduction of large
force of non-union men, for the en-.
gineers, machinists and petty foremen
now in the mill do not fancy the idea OF
working with non-union men. A meet.
ing of foremen, superintendents of de.
partments and boss mechanics of the
Carnegie mill at Homestead has been
held, and action was taken which will
have an important bearing on the situa.
ton. These men have not until now
taken any action favorable to the work
ers. They have now resolved that they
would not operate the works under an
armed guard.
