The Homestead Workmen Forestalled by
ii the Firm.
P1TTsBURGH Pa, July 1.-The Home
stead shut down went into operation
yesterday. There were 5000 idle tom
mage men on the streets and they have
invited the mechanical department, day
1aborers and watchmen to join them.
They expect the men will do so, and if
SO, the entire plant will be idle.
The firm discharged all the employees.
at midnight and notified them to report
for their pay at the office on Saturday
BY this action the Carnegies have
| clearly forestalled the men and by
making it lockout instead of a strike,
have placed them on the defensive. The
streets are crowded, but everything is.
quiet.
As predicted, the sheet iron manu-
facturers and Amalgamated association
, succeeded in settling their differences
alta conference held last night. Mutual
concessions were made. The settle
ment affects about twenty-five compa-
MES and 10000 men. The Oliver &
Roberts Wire Co. signed the scale yes
terday morning. The firm employs 300
men.
During the lockout every means pos
sible will be used to preserve the peace,
/ and the end IS desired by both the mill
| owners and the Carnegie company. The
Amalgamated association has sworn in
twenty extra men to do police duty,
without pay, and the company has add
ed a number OF watchmen to protect

are all well armed and will keep a.
sharp lookout day and night.
The trains are being watched by COM
mittees of the association and there are
men stationed all over the country at
manufacturing points to inform the or
ganization here should any gang OF
workmen board the train for Home
stead.
4 committee of workmen called upon
the Pittsburgh, McKeesport Sc Youghio-
geny railroad authorities and requested
that 40 trains bearing men to take the
places of the strikers be stopped in the
limits of the yard. The request was
refused, the officials stating that the
yard of the Carnegie steel works was
regular station. The refusal OF the
company to comply with the wishes of
the men caused great excitement and
many threats of violence were made
against the railroad company.
The scale under which the members
of the Amalgamated association have
been working for the past year expired
at midnight with a condition of affairs
confronting both manufacturers and
workers that has not occurred in recent
years. The scale to govern wages in
the iron and steel mills employing
union men for the year commencing to-
day remains not alone unsigned, but
exhibits such 4 wide divergence in the
prices demanded by each side as to
place settlement very far off and
probably difficult to arrive at. ttl
No immediate effects of the differ
ences between the manufacturers and
their men will be visible for some time.
The majority of the mills will shut.
down for repairs and two weeks will
elapse before any attempt to recoms
mence operations will be made.
There is still some hope that during
the interval the iron scale may have
been mutually agreed upon.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-President Har-
rison sent this message to the senate
yesterday: .kt..
For the information Of the senate and in fur
ther response to the resolution of the senate Of
February a last 1 transmit herewith Il COM
munication of the 18th inst from MIR Herbert,
the acting representative OF the British govern
ment at this capital. addressed to Mr. Whar-
ton, acting secretary Of state upon the
subject Of the Canadian canal tolls also
4 memoranda prepared and submitted
TO me By Mr.. Adee, second assist
ant secretary OF state, reviewing the cOInnlu-
nication Of Mr. Herbert and a letter Of the 2Sth
inst from Mr. John ". Foster, who as I have
previously stated. with MI Blaine, represented
the government in the conferences with the
Canadian commissioners. The position taken
by this government, as explained in my pre-
vious communication to the senate, that
the canal tolls and regulations o: which
complaint has been made are in violation
of cur treaty with Great Britain. IS not shaken
but rather confirmed. There can be no doubt
that serious discrimination against our citi-
zens and our commerce exists. AMI quite as lit
tie doubt that this discrimination is not 21 in
ciGent but the intent Of Canadian regula tons.
1t has not seemed TO me that this was case in
which We could yield TO the suggestions Of
further concessions on the part Of the United
States with 4 view to securing treaty rights
for which consideration has already been
given. ..t BENJAMIN HARRISON.
