GETTING READY.

rIACA 10 MduHlnS the carnegie Mills at
Homestead, Pa, Preparatory to Resum-
ing Work-strikers Surprised and Dis
appointed, But Peaceful.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 16. - Short
puffs of white smoke from the armor-
plate machine shop and the annealing
shop in the Carnegie works convinced
both locl1cd-out men and troops that
the managers intend to keep their word
and start the mills in operation. The
men were greatly excited over the signs
OF business in the works. An inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the pumps in the
two most important departments had
been started preliminary to general
resumption of business. The locked
out men, through the reports of their
pickets, knew that no considerable
number of men had entered the town.
and wondered where the company was
securing workmen. At the offices of
the works it was said that about
forty men, mainly laborers, with a
few men from the other Carnegie
works, were at work getting
the machinery ready for USE 1t is not
The intention of the mill-owners to in
troduce new men until Monday. The
locked-out men offered no objection
to the signs of activity and kept away
from the vicinity of the works.
Labor unions in other cities are keep
ing the Amalgamated association adj
vised of the efforts of the Carnegie
company to secure labor. Their ef-
forts are said to be confined to Cincin-
natl. Chicago and st. Louis, and in
each of these cities some have been
secured. although the reports of the
numbers received here are very contra
dlctory. However that may be, the
fact is conceded that a body of non
union men has been gotten together by
the Carnegie company and that all the
prcpa1 atoms have been made for push
ing them into the works.
At 3 o'clock Friday morning fifty men
were nnloaded at point near Swiss
vale and escorted overland 1 mile bv a
guard OF the militia to the Monongahela
river opposite the Homestead works.
There they boarded the steamer Little
Bill and were transported across the
river to the company's property.
About the same time cots. nro-
visions and other supplies in great
quantity were taken into the mill prop
erty. There was enough stuff in the
consignment to accommodate at least
400 men. superintendent Potter insti-
tuted a complete search of every DOR
ton of the mills for dynamite or other
explosives. If any was found the dis
covery was not made known. It seems
now that it is only question of time
till the mills are placed in operation.
