THE AMALGAMArED ORGAN
Says the Strikers Have Lost Their Fight
With Carnegie.

HOMESTEAD, PA, October 15.-The
Local Nelos, Homestead paper. cre-
| ated sensation this morning by COM
ing out with lengthy editorial declar-
ing that the strike is lost. This same
paper was, during the inception OF the
wage struggle, an organ for the locked
out men and the advisory committee
published statements In its columns.
To-day's issue is therefore unexpected
and causes much comment. Many
strikers are angry and are stopping
their subscriptions, but Editor Schol-
ley's editorial was submitted TO several
prominent locked-out men and was ad
mitted correct before publication is q
fact. 1t is appended:
The Homestead situation to-day is a
peculiar one. On one hand the specta-
Gle is presented of over two thousand
workmen in the mill, among whom are
about two hundred OF the former Home
stead employees. A number OF skilled
workmen from Braddock, Duquesnc,
Pittsburg and other places, are among
the non-union workmen. From day TO
day additions are made TO the forces
within the mill, a limited number OF
them being Homestead men. The nom
union workmen now live in and about
the works and within the borough OF
Homestead. Extensive preparations are
going on to accommodate still larger
numbers. Nobody denies these facts;
II they do they are blind. The COM
pany claim the strike is over, so
far as they are concerned. That
the company has won is admitted by
many business men and citizens, large
numbers Of mechanics, prominent ANAL
gamated men, and certain numbers OF
the advisory board. These admissions
are as rule confidential, but none the
less true. On the other hand the spec
tacle is presented OF between two and
three thousand idle workmen walking
the streets Of Homestead, keeping up
the expectation that sooner or later
they will win the strike. Out Of sym
pathy for them, are several thousand
workmen OF Lawrenceville and Beaver
Falls also idle and In hope some day to
see themselves and their Homestead
friends victorious. Backing up these
striking workmen is strong sentiment
cclg. ISe working classes of the coun-
Ionaiao. si finds expression in liberal
which which r under # money. Also the
| ly benefits to the ESmCn a. large ,
The only results the strilp pays 'no,A %eeH-
is that they are keeping no'JoIS S
well in line, and are causing -saotr"s oIo"
firm loss and trouble. Thus the
tlon stands at present, to say nothiYe'
the charges in the courts on both sid'
The candid observer, taking view I
the situation as outlined above, ca
come to the following conclusion only
First, the Carnegie Steel Company
gradually succeeding. Second, tn
great Homestead strike is gradual
dying ont. Jack Hood, heater In tn
1is inch mill, was run over D

He has several children In foundlin

that three armor plates had been rolle'
during the week and that they ha'
passed satisfactory inspection. Glib
son, Dugan and Stern, the three strlk
ers arrested In the mill yard last night
were taken to Pttsburg to-day and vii
be prosecuted, the object being to dete
others from entering the mill and In
timidating workmen.
