NO TROOPS AT BRINToN.
Only Two Carloads of Ammunition Were
Side-Tracked There,

Only Two Carloads of Ammunition Were
Side-Tracked There.
All was quiet at Brinton yesterday. No
troops stopped there, and the only ones who
waited and watched were few newspape,
men. The village has not over 100 inhabit-
ants and very few houses. The only excuse
for having station there is that it is the
junction of the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston with the Pennsylvania Central.
From Brinton to Homestead it is only a
run of Is minutes. The road crosses the
Monongahela just below Duquesne, and the
men could be landed right at the works.
Right at the station is fiat of several
hundred acres that would make a magnif-
cent camp. A little further up there Is an
other large level tract There is plenty of
room there.
The only excitement during the day was
the arrival there of two carloads of ammu-
milton. The munitions of war were al
lowed to lie there on the switch all day un.
guarded. If the locked-out men had so de-
sired they could have run off every bit of it.
No one went near the cars, however, and
they were left standing there long after
nightfall.

NO TIME FOR TOUGHS.

Pittsburg Police Will Promptly Arrest All
Suspicious Strangers Coming to This
Cny-The Workhouss Yawnlng to Re-
ceive Foreign Crooks.
A meeting of the police captains was held
yesterday morning at City Hall over which
Chief Brown presided. Superintendent
O'Mara and Assistant Superintendent
Silvis were present and the probability of
trouble. here was discussed. Steps were
taken to prevent any large congregation of
men on the streets, and orders were issued
that the police arrest any man, particularly
q stranger, who might be seen acting sus-
piciously In any part Of the city.
1t is believed that with the knowledge of
the troops being sent here, crooks and thieves
from all sections of the country will flock
in here, hoping to take advantage of the ex-
citing situation for the purpose of looting,
plundering or otherwise following their
tavorite pursuits.
Details of police were ordered on duty at
all the railway stations where troops were
leaving or arriving, to prevent disorder in
the crowds and subdue any demonstrations
likely to excite feeling on either side. All
the sub-policemen in the city were ordered
on duty and will be kept on until the ex-
citement subsidies.
Chief Brown yesterday excused all men,
bers Of the fire engine companies and police
force who are members of the National
Guard and they will be free from duty until
after the Homestead trouble is settled.
The men were ordered to report to their
armories. The Chief apprehends no more
bloodshed at Homestead, but thinks there
may be an outbreak of rowdyism if that
element is not closely watched.
A number of militiamen, while waiting
for orders at their armories yesterday
slipped away to saloons and got drunk.
Owen Broadbent, of Company B, Eighteenth
Regiment, got so hilarious that he was ar
rested at Sixth street and Penn avenue and
taken to Central station. He was unable to
60 out with his company.

Corps.
The ordering out of the militia caused
quite sensation on the Southside yesterday.
The idle workmen from the different mills
filled the street, earnestly discussing the
situation and trying to find satisfactory
solution to the changed condition of affairs.
The concensus of opinion seemed to be that
no resistance would be offered the State
troops, as such an effort would only result
in injury to their cause. There was rest
less spirit evident, however, and desire to
help the strikers in every way possible.
About II o'clock a company of men and
boys started up the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Railroad tracks On their way to
Homestead. The outgoing trains also took
many millmen from about Brownstown.
About o'clock upper Carson street was
thrown into excitement by the appearance
of q drum corps, followed by long pro-
cession of men and boys They started on
Sixteenth street and as they proceeded up
town their ranks were rapidly filled, 50

reached the procession numbered between

Homestead carried arms of any kind, and
claimed they were simply going a. lockers

Homestead, said: 'Frick IL working this

two gatling and one 12-pound parrot gun
were taken. 1t was the intention to take
two rified cannons, but these had to be left
behind. They will be sent to the field of ac-
tion as soon as the necessary horses can be
secured. About 200 rounds of ammunition was
taken for the parrot gun and rifed cannons,
and 10000 rounds for the gatling guns.
The men were supplied with three days
rations. The men were also ordered to take
revolver and as the State did not supply
them they had to purchase them. There
were 76 men and six officers all that were
necessary to work the guns.
The battery left the armory at 4:3O p. NJ.
and proceeded to the East Liberty stock
yards where it was loaded on train. The
men were given an hour for supper, after
everything was on the train, and before let
ting them go, Captain A. E Hunt cautioned
the men not TO drink anv liquors while off
duty. The officers are highly pleased at the
promptitude of the men in responding to

DISCUSSING The BASIS.

tion scale.
Four hours was consumed by the Pitts.
burg manufacturers and the Conference
Committee of the Amalgamated Association
yesterday afternoon in their discussion Of
the wage question. The meeting convened
at 2:30 o'clock and adjourned at $780, After
seven conferences the only point upon the
new iron scale agreed to by the manufact-
urers is the memoranda which leads the
wage list.
After the meeting one of the wage COM
mittee said: ~To-day's meeting was de-
voted to discussing the basis of the scale.
No conclusion was reached. During the
many recent conferences with the Pittsburg
manufacturers all the concessions in the
new scale have been made by the Confer
ence Committee of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. This shows that the workmen are
ready to bave ettlement if they are met
hall way by tine manufacturers, but the lat
ter are trying to make us come down to
their prices Notwithstanding the differ
ences of opinion between us, however, the
session was q favorable one and the promise
is ultimately that an amicable arrangement
will be made.
At the Amalgamated Associations head
quarters last night it was announced that
one more firm had added their name to the
list of signers of the new scale. The COM
pany is Moorhead & McCleane. They
signed for their Soho mills. This firm is
the thirtieth signer of the Western scale of
prices for 1928. For several days past
they have intimated that unless the Pitts
burg manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Association reached an agreement shortly
they would sign the scale as they wanted to
continue business. They affixed their sigma
ture to the yearly contract with the under
standing that they were to pay the existing
rates for pudding pending a settlement of
the iron scale.
In the mills of the firm there are 80 sim
gle pudding furnaces, two scrap, six single
and two double heating furnaces, four sheet,
four pair and five anneallng furnaces. There
are also 10 trains of rolls, including one
which is capable of rolling 12 inches thick
and seven feet wide. The product is G. H.
B. galvanized iron Juniata, charcoal and
common sheet and plate, iron and sheared
and grooved skelp iron. The capacity in
this department is 35, 900 net tons per year.
The steel department contains two 15 gross
ton open hearth furnaces. The first steel
was made in November q, 1888. The prod
pct of the steel mills in plate is $1,000 net
Cons per annum. The company employs
800 men.

A Timely Increase of Fire Insurance.

Was that made two days before the last Lib

necessity OF nrst-class fire insurance to the
full value OF his property. Many careful
men add rent insurance. SO that in the event
of loss OF income during rebuilding or re-

SHERIFF M'CLEARY'S ACTION.

He VIII A company the National Guard to
Homestead and Summon the Mob to
Disperse-If They Refuse Military Law
Prevails
Sheriff McCleary remained yesterday in
his Office, expecting hourly to receive some
communication from Major General Snow
den concerning the manner in which he
should cooperate with the military authori-
ties. He understood that the troops were
to support him in his work as peace officer
in protecting the property of the company,
but he was uncertain just when his action
was desired. Early in the day he wired
General Snowden that he was ready to CO.
operate with him and awaited his pleasure.
General Snowden replied that he would
communicate fully later in the day, but up
to o'clock the Sheriff had received moth
ing.
At that hour the Sheriff said that he
would not 60 to Homestead until to-day, at
the earliest what my duties then will
be-" he said, 81 cannot now say. That is,
l mean that will act with the military,
but until have communication with the
cannot say what nv action will be-
During the day the regular force of depu-
ties remained in the Sheriff's Office awaiting
any orders to 60 to Homestead or any point
near there. The Sheriff was visited by
number of prominent citizens, who talked
with MIN on the situation. Among those
who called were Chief Murphy, of the ALLIE
gheny Department of Public Works and
Acting Superintendent Glenn. The Sheriff
was evidently greatly relieved BY the lift
ing from his shoulders of the responsibility
of restoring the reign of law in a place
where he was unable to restore it At the
same time he showed that he was plainly
much worn, physically. For four or five
nights he had been up until a late hour
consulting with leading citizens, sending
and receiving kilograms and watching the
development of events. The emergencies
of the case required that he should be at his
Office early each day, and he was many
hours short of sleep.
AT about o'clock last evening he went to
his home on Oakland avenue, where he went
at once to bed in order that he might secure
good rest before going to military head
quarters this morning As he did not appear
during the evening at the quarters of the
Tariff Club the report was circulated that he
had gone TO Brinton.
The opinion about the Sherif's Office as to
what duty the Sheriff would be called upon
to perform was that he would be asked TO
read the riot act, and formally call upon the
mob at Homestead to disperse and 90 to
their homes If they refuse to obey his
orders he will report to the Major General
that the civil power is unable to secured the
restoration of law. The Sheriff will prob
ably be at Brinton, or wherever headauar.
ters may be, early this morning, and act in
conjunction with the National Guard.

The effects of the militia being called out
were felt last evening by the Allegheny
housekeeper who, on his way home from
work, stopped at his butchers to buy his
supply Of meat for supper.
'"Tenderloins are cents a pound higher
than Saturday." said the meat purveyor.
''Sirloins and other cuts have jumped up 9
cents pound, and everything else is from
TO cents pound more than it was this
morning. Only rump roasts are the same
price as they were
why is that?" was the natural query.
well, the meat costs us more, and we
must charge more for it See this piece
here? 1 paid l0X cents a pound for that,
and Saturday could have had it for 9 or
81 cents"
why has it jumped SO suddenly?"
We'll, there is such a demand for meat
that we have to give fancy prices for it or
go without and lose our custom. The worst
of 1t is we don't know how long this ia
going to last There was an order received
at the market this afternoon for l6. 600
pounds 10 be delivered at Homestead this
evening, ready for the arrival of the troops,
and you ought to have seen the scramble
for meat! Every butcher in town was

had to be prepared"
