uel Fallow, Protestant Episcopal Bishop
of Chicago, addressed secret meeting
OF locked-out workmen this morning.
Among other things, he said: 81 have
nothing TO say about the right or wrong Of
the work done on the river bank last week,
but fact which stands out about the
riot is that you dealt death blow TO the
Pinkerton system, and it is because you
have done so that the people Of America,
not alone workingmen, are with you,
and will be to the bitter end, if you perse-
we're in steady obedience to the Ameri-
can law, and steadtast 10 the un-American
attempts to wrong you."
1t was rumored tonight that there were
fifty non-union men in the mill, but the
Carnegie managers and strike leaders
deny the statement. A fire was started
IN one of the hearths to-day, and the
sight OF steam attracted large body of
strikers. They made hasty movement
toward the gate, and the provost patrol
hurriedly informed them that bayonets
would be brought to q charge and the
men halted. The abrupt manner in which
they were turned back caused considera-
ble feeling. Since the soldiers have been
confined to the camp the sentiment be-
tween them and the strikers has become
decidedly unfriendly.
Among the symptoms of renewed ac-
tlvlty at the mills to-day was the unload
ing Of boat containing large number
Of cots, camp supplies, etc. Orders were
issued TO the superintendent and fore
Of fl,n ,f5f I
port for duty tomorrow. The order
brought about the resignation of Allan
Hubbard, foreman OF the armor plate
department, who refused to work with
non-union men.
Strike pickets are still maintained
about the mill and railroad stations. and
the men are resolved, and they have been
advised that they are acting strictly upon
legal rights, to request the newcomers
not to work in the mills.
No effort has yet been made to gather
up and return the captured Winchester
rifles, of which 200 are still in town, to-
gether with a large amount of Pinkerton
ammunition. The Advisory Committee
are anxious TO get rid of the weapons.
There seems to be a doubta about the legal
aspect Of the case, and it is said they are
now waiting for the cOunsePs opinion.
General Snowden and staff have been
making quite an investigation into the
actual armament of the strikers. It is
believed they have about 1900 stands of
arms of all sorts. 1t is believed that am
munition is much more scarce than
weapons. An amazing fact is that much
of it is manifestly the property of the
United States Government, boxes of cart
ridges bearing the label of the Frankfort
Arsenal, and nobody seems able to ex-
plain whether they are part of the Pin
kerton equipment or were differently ac-
quired.
PEACEFUL SITUATION.
PTTTsBURG, July 15.-The situation at
the upper and lower Carnegie mills was
quiet and peaceful to-day, the men who
left taking matters very coolly: The mi
nority, who were not in favor of an in
dependent movement yesterday. are fast
gaining in number, and probably as the
men calmly consider the nature of the
move they have taken, the dissatisfaction
will be with themselves. There will be
no attempt to start the mills until some
settlement is made at Homestead, and nc
trouble is expected until then. One hum
dred men We're sworn in as watchmen
yesterday. The keystone Bridge Works.
through lack of material, will be closed
in few days. 1t is also reported that
the Lucy blast furnaces will be shut
down. There will be no sympathy strike
at Braddock. Although 1000 men are
employed in the Edgar Thompson Steel
Works, owned by Carnegie, Phipps eG
Co., not one of them will quit work.
Neither will there be a sympathy strike
at the Duquesne Steel Works.
WILL BE NoN-UNIoN.
PITTsBURG, July 15.-Frick of the Car
negie Company, having received notice
from the employees in the Beaver Fails
Mills that they will refuse to work unless
the company confer with the Homestead
men, telegraphed to the Superintendent
of the Beaver Falls Mills to inform the
men that unless they GO to work under
their agreement on Monday next the
company will cancel the agreement, and
when work Is resumed it will be as a non
union concern; that under no circum-
stances will the company confer with the
Homestead men as members of tho
Amalgamated Association.
Lovejoy of the Carnegie Company said
this morning that the employees at Union
Mills having broken their contract bv
striking, they would only be allowed to
return TO work when the COMPANY got
ready to resume work, and then it woild
not be at the old terms, but on terms to
be fixed by the company. He said the
company could get enough non-union
men to run the works at Homestead in
full inside of q week; but it was onIv
proposed to put in part of the force in
order to allow such of the old men as
wanted TO to return.
Loyejoy says the company had men
with Photographic instruments so placed
that they were able to take pictures of
many of the men at the time of the NIGHT
attack on the Piukertons, and these Dor
traits viii be used when the prosecutions
OF the rioters are begun.
SoN-UNIoN MEN TO GO TO WORK,
NEw'YoRK, July ia special to the
1id5t and ErpreSS from PittSburg saws:
Men are arriving in Pittsburg TO 90 to
work at the Carnegie mills in Home
stead, and viii enter the mill by both
railroad and river within the next few
days. The policy of the company seems
to be to gather men in or near this city
and then have them enter the works in a
body.
PoWDERLY ON THE PINKERToNS.
SCRANTON (Pa.), July 15.-General
Master Workman Powderly has ad-
dressed letters to President Harrison and
Governor Pattison. calling their atten-
ton TO the fact that the laws OF the United
States and Pennsylvania were violated
by the Invasion of the Pinkertons on
July 9th at Homestead. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the men marched un-
der the United States flag, and says who
ever usurped the functions of Com
