PITTsBURG, July 18.-.-There is nj
change in the situation at Carnegie
Union mills. The foundry, forge ant
mechanical departments are still in op
GRAFTON. The rest of the departments
are silent. None of the men who strucI
last week are responding to the com
pany's invitation to return to work
Secretary Lovejoy says the company ii
receiving more applications for worl
than there are places at present.
Speaking of th9 failure to resume to
day, General Superintendent Dillons o
the upper and lower Union mills, said
1--WE did not start this morning because
we were not ready to resume; when VIZ
are ready we will start. None of thu
men came back today, but for all tha
we do not anticipate trouble in resum
ing"
1t is supposed that the company will
endeavor to procure men from some oi
the surrounding mills to start, the In
ducement being to give them better DO
sltions than they have now. Wien
they will start is not known.
INFoRMATIoNs AGAINST STRIKE LEADERS,
This afternoon information was lodged
before the aldermen charging murder
against Hugh O'Donnell, the principal
leader of the Homestead men. John
McLuckie, burgess of Homestead, Syl-
vester Gritchlow, Anthony Flahertv.
Samuel Birket, James Flannigan and
Hugh Ross, all labor leaders in the re-
cent Homestead troubles.
They are specifically charged with the
murder of T. j. Connors and Silas
Wayne, Pinkertons killed in the fight.
The information was furnished by Sec
retary Lovejoy of the Carnegie company.
Constables left at once for Homestead to
arrest the men. The news created much
excitement among the strikers, as the
action was not expected.
Gossip about this latest move on the
part OF the company is very free this
evening. Many sympathizers with the.
men think it is q shrewd move to get
the leaders in the strike out OF the way
at the time when the company expects
to begin operations. IN
A rumor is current tonight that coun-
ter-informations will be laid against
Messrs. Frick and Lovejoy and Manager
Potter. The general impression is that
this is only the beginning of great le-
gal struggle here.
The attorney for the strikers said to-
night that no information would be
made against Frick, Lovejoy and Potter
now. and it was possible that no retalia-
tory measures would be taken by the
strikers. If it was decided to take such
action, the charge would probably be
conspiracy.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS TO BE MADE.
From source close to the Carnegies,
it was learned that the firm has the
names of 215 strikers against whom they
believe they enough evidence to convict
as accessories to the murder of the Pink
erton men. 1t is their intention to en-
ter information every day until the 215
have been arrested.
VOLUNTARY sURRENDERs.
The sheriffs officers failed this after
noon to find those for whom warrants
were issued, but this evening all of the
accused, except O'Donnell, who is out of
the state, and McLuckie, who had al
ready given himself up at Pittsburg, as
sembled at the railway station at Home
stead, intending, unaccompanied by Of
ficers, to voluntarily proceed to Pitts
burg to face the charges against them.
O'Donnell's wife says the report, that
he left town to avoid arrest, is untrue,
and that he will be back in few days.
BEAVER FALLS EMPLOYEES STRIKE.
The Beaver Falls employees of Car
negie kept their threat and did not go
to work this morning. consequently the
mill did not resume. Everything is
quiet about the mill.
The machinists, repair men, ward
brakemen and laborers have also quit.
Although the townis quiet, the strikers
are busy. AT headquarters the mem
bers of the advisory committee are kept
we'll informed, and a sharp lookout is
being kept for non-union men.
OTHER WORKS FORCED TO CLOSE.
The Homestead steel works strike has
indirectly caused an indefinite suspen-
sion of the Braddock wire works plant
at Rankin station, and some six hun
dred more men are out of work. The
mills nail, reed, barbed wire and wire
drawing departments have all closed
down owing to lack of steel billets to
make wire reeds, etc. A stockholder of
the Pittsburg Copper Wire company's
works at Braddock, stated today that
unless some change for the better is
made by the mills making billets, they
will shut down Saturday.
THE STRIKERS REMAIN FIRM.
A dozen of the best educated and
most conservative of the locked-out men
at Homestead left for the east this morn
ing. It is believed they have gone to
labor with lot of Belgians said to be on
their way to take the places of the Anal
gamated men.
The Amalgamated lodge of workmen
at Carnegie's Union mills met this morn
ing and resolved to stand firm in their
strike. and rendered the Homestead men
both financial and physical assistance.
