PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. s.-The stril-
ers at Duquesne returned to work this
morning and the Carnegie steel COM
pany scored decided victory.
Saturday night Superintendent Nor
rison posted notice that all men who
had applied for their old jobs should
report at the mill at : o'clock this
morning, as the mill would resume at
that hour Long before the time set
workmen with dinner pals quietly
stole up unfrequented streets and
along the railroad tracks so as to enter
the mill unobserved by their fellow
strikers AS o'clock approached the
number of men who had entered the
mill yard reached 400.
About sixty men who were leaders
in the sympathy strike movement
gathered on the road near the mill
gate and watched in silence the men
going to work Finally the mill
whistle blew for 7 o'clock. At that "a
large lrishman exclaimed in a loud
voice: well, men, the jig is up; we
had better hustle for our old places. 4"
This was signal for panic and the
entire crowd ran toward the gate.
A freight train was in front of the
gate, but the men did not wait for it
TO be moved, but scrambled over and
under it in their frantic haste to get
inside themill before the whistle stop
ped blowing. twas a complete STAN
pede.
The men were admitted into the
Amalgamated association at no little
expense and they went out on the
sympathy strike movement about two
weeks ago.
More Warrants for Strikers.
Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie
steel company declared to-day that no
mercy would be shown the Homestead
strikers who engaged in the riot on
July 9 and held the company's proper
ty until dispossessed by the soldiers
The record of fifty-three informations
for murder or aggravated riot and
eighteen arrests on three charges is
to be increased thrcefold. He
said: I'VE will make several more
arrests before the week is over. We
have started in on this conquest of
riot by law and it will be carried to a
finish. There will be anywhere from
so to $50 more informations on murder
and aggravated offenses against
Homestead strikers before the strike
is over. We are proceeding carefully
and get only evidence to Il certainty
before the charge is made. We mean
to make no mistake"
"Who is getting information for
you?"
THE best detectives in the country
have been employed. We have officers
of long experience at work ut Home
stead and the infornations | make are
on evidence gotten by these men who
will be produced in court and give sworn
testimony We have also the assist
ance of Sheriff McCleary and his dcpu-
ties and of the city and local officers"
On the other hand, w. j. Brennan,
for the amalgamated association, says
the strikers do not propose to be be-
hind the company in the matter of
prosecutions and charges of melting to
riot will be made early this week
against the members of the firm and
the Pinkertons. They are waiting for
information where something else may
turn up. The arbitration papers have
been served on the company, but if
the members of the firm decline to
take up the issue nothing further can
be done.
There were about ten non-union
men at Amalgamated headquarters
this morning They had left the mill,
as it was too much like prison. One
man said thirteen in his crew quit this
morning and would be out when they
got their money. He further as
serted that 1850 men went to Plttsburg
on Saturday night and only seventy
five returned this morning. A German
roll turner from Essex is among the
deserters, He claimed that he had to
sleep in his pants to keep them from
being stolen.
