PITTsBURG, July 22.-Nearly 100 more
non-union men were put TO work in the
Homestead mill yesterday. They were
brought mp from Pittsburg on the steamer
Tide, together with 600 cots and great
load of provisions for the men who are al
ready inside the works. The arrival of
the new men enabled the company to al
most fully man the building at the east
end of the works known as the armor
plate mill. The taking of the 600 cots to
Homestead yesterday is evidence that
the company is going to do just what its
officials have said they would do if the
old men did not return to work yester-
day, namely, man the works with new
men. There are now, with the things
taken up yesterday, accommodations in
side the big fence for at least l 900 men.
VIII Evict Huns and Poles.
The company has decided to evict the
Hungarians and Poles who occupy the
twenty-five company houses on Shanty
hill, just back of General Snowden's head
quarters. The heads of these families are
day laborers in the mill and are on strike.
Just what will become of these families
when they are thrown out of doors is not
known, as there are not twenty-five vacant
houses in Homestead which they can OBJ
tain The company intends to use the
houses for non-union men, as they are
within the lines of Camp Blacl, and Will
be safe from molestation as long as the
military remains.
W eihe Confers with Pattison.
President Weihe, of the malgamated
association, and Brennan, counsel for the
strikers, called on Governor PattiSon yes
terday, and were with him for an hour.
Weihe said they had come on private bust
ness, and the result was perfectly satisfac-
tory to him. Brennan would not say any
thing. 1t leaked out later that these two
men had cCme TO ask the governor to try
and arrange u conference between the
strikers and the officers of the Carnegie
Steel company. Governor Pattison would
not say anything about the conference.
O'DonnelI Goes to Jail.
O'Donnell and Ross went to PIttsburg
yesterday and gave themSe Ives up. They
were both put in jail pending hearing on
an application for bail. O'Donnell has
written TO the New York Herald a state
point. 1t does not differ materially from
statement he has made before He says
he opposes Violence and favors moral
suasion; that the Homestead outbreak was
not Il common one; that he favorS arbitri-
ton and that the trouble here has not
been brought about by the workmen, who
were unusually generous and reasonable.
The Other Accused StTht>ers.
Samuel Burkett, James Flanagan, SyI-
veSter Critchlow, and Anthony Flaherty,
the four men accused OF numbering Pink
erton men in the battle of July g. are be-
lieved to be in Homestead. Burkett and
Critchlow say they will surrender them
selves if Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh Ross
are admitted to bail. Flanagan and
Flaherty said to have determined not
to give themselves up allow themselves
to be arrested under any circumstances.
Strikers Not Applying for Work.
At O'clock yesterday the limit set by
the Carnegie company for applications for
employment had expired. With the ex-
ception of few laborers not one of the
old employers took advantage of the offer.
The situation at the Pittsburg mills re-
mains unchanged. The strikers have their
pickets out, and drive off any one attempt
ing TO enter the mills to go to work. Three
hundred of the Homestead laborers were
given work yesterday on Il new railway
near Millvale, IA short distance from here.
