HOMESTEAD, Ia, Aug. s II Speciall-
The strikers at Duquesne went to work
this morning and the Carnegie Steel
Company has scored ono victory. On
Saturday Superintendent Morrison
posted notice to the effect that all the
men who had applied for their old Jobs
should report at the mill at 2 o'clock
this morning as the mill would resume
at that hour. Long before the time set
however, the workers with dinner pals
quietly stole up unfrequented streets
and along the railroad tracks and en-.
tered the mill unobseryed by their fell
low strikers.
AS seven o'clock approached the num-
Der OF men who had entered the mill
yard through this means reached 400.
About sixty men who were the leaders
In sympathy with the strike movement
gathered on the road near the mill cato
and watched in moody silence the men
going into the works. Finally the
whistle blew for seven o'clock.

In loud voice We'll, men, the jig is
up, we had better hustle for our old
places" This was a signal for a panic.
ana the entire crowd ran toward the
gate. freight train was backed in
front OF the gate, but the men did not
wait for it to be moved, but scrambled
over 1t In their frantic haste to get in
side the mill before the whistle stopped
blowing 1t was complete stampede.
Inc men were organized into the
Amalgamated Association at no little
expense and they went out on sympa-
tiny strike movement about two weeks
ago. I by their surrender they are ex-
PEELED from the Amalgamated Atsocia-
tian and the Carnegie Company has two
non-union mills.
The effect Of the break at Duouesne
cannot but prove harmful to tho mon at
Homestead, although the leaders will
not believe it.
Duquesne steel billets can be sent to
Homestead to be rolled into plates bv
the non-union men so that the firm will
be in far better condition to fill Its con
tracts and prosecute it's fight here.

The sensation of the day at Carnegie's
upper union mill was the resignation of
Night Suderintendent Kidding. He has
beenin the employ OF the company for
Is years, and WAS one of the most
trusted workmen about the mill. I'm
mediately after leaving the works he
went to the Amalgamated headquarters,
where he stated that the step he had
taken was due to the fact that his work
had been made extremely unpleasant
since the strike had been inaugurated.
He says that he has been shifted from
one position and station to another until
the work has simply become unbearable.
In connection with the workings of
the mill, he said that the eighteen and
twenty inch mill did not start to-day, as
reported. The strikers, he said, gained
victory this morning by inducing two
OF the best heaters to leave the mill In
regard to the number of men who were
working, he stated that there was less
than at any time since the strike begun,
and before the plant can be successfully
operated, it will be necessary to make
many repairs.

non union men to Homestead TODAY.

that, then have always misunderstood
the duties Of an officer of tho National
