PTrrsBUReH, Pa, July 15.-Yesterday
afternoon the members of the Analga-
mated association employed in Carne-
gie's Union iron mills at Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-third streets carried out
their threat to stop work unless con-
ference was opened by Chairman ii. c.
Frick with the Homestead worlSmen.
Shortly after II o'clock as their heats
were run the men began leaving the
works in squads
By5 o'clock the mills were practically
deserted
The move was in sympathy for the
locked-out men at Homestead and indie
pendent of the Amalganated associa-
ton, the strikers voluntarily fOrfeiting
any claim upon tae associations treas
ury in the nature of strike benefits Or
| financial assistance.
The men do not fear that their places
in these mills will be filed with black
sheep" and have no idea when they will
be ready to return to work.
/ This is the busiest season of the year
| for these mills and the builders will be
especially affected by this strike. Super
| intendent Dillon shook hands with
many OF the men as they left, express
Ing regret at the course they had adopt
! ed. He could give no informa ton as TO
( the course the company would pursue
/ A meeting Of foremen, superintend-
ents of departments and boss mechanics
of the Carnegie mill at Homestead was
/ held yesterday and action was taken
which will have an important bearing
on the situation. These men are not
on a strike and they have not until
/ now taken any action.
Yesterday they resolved that they
! would not operate the works under an
armed guard
| This decision practically means that
! the mills viii not be run with non
union labor and the Carnegie company
must settle with its Homestead men be
/ fore resuning operations.
THE IDAHO TROUBLES.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Telegrams re-
ceived by Maj Gen. Schofeld show that
/ the labor troubles in the CGur dAlene
mining district are at an end for the
| present The rioters have dispersed
and the state authorities, aided by fed
eral troops, are in full possession of the
/ field
Gen. Schofeld said last night that
| the people who were complaining
| because the soldiers had not ar
rested the rioters had very
improper conception of the pO-
sition of troops in the matter. He eH-
planned that they were ordered there
merely to support the civil authorities
! in the restoration of order and were
acting altogether under the orders OF
! the governor of the state. They had no
( Independent functions whatever and
| had absolutely nothing TO do with any
disorders that may have occurred be-
| fore their arrival. 1t was the duty of
| the civil authorities to enforce the law
| and all the troops could do was To pro
! tect them in so doing.
