burg. was subjected to the most huniil.
iating punishment. When the new
reached Camp Rowley, on Saturday,
that Mr.. Prick had been shot, Private
lams gave vent to his feelings IN this
peculiar way and was overheard by
Lieutenant Colonel Streator, who is
. commanding the Tenth.
Colonel Streator ordered the entire
regiment to be drawn up in line, and
then he directed the man who had pro-
posed the cheers for Berkman to advance
TO the front. After little delay Ia1ns
stepped forward. When asked why he
had been guilty of such thing, he as
summed an air of bravado and refused to
answer. He was asked to apologize, but
refused to do so. He was then sent to
the guard house and his case was re-
ported to Major General Snowden, who
ordered a court martial.
The regimental officers held the hear
ing in the matter Saturday, and as Ialns
admitted his guilt and refused to apollo
gize, the court martial ordered that
half the hair of his head and moustache
be shaved off; that he be strung mp by
the thumbs for thirty minutes. be
stripped of his uniform, dishonorably
discharged and drummed out of camp.
After having his head and moustache
shaved as directed, Iams was hanged up
by the thumbs. For twenty minutes
he endured this torture and then lost
consciousness.
Two surgeons ordered that he be cut
down at once or he would soon be dead.
He was cut down, and after the doctors
revived him he was stripped of his
uniform and given an old pair of over
alls to wear. With only these and a
shirt and an old hat he was led out of the
camp to Swissva1e station to the time Of
the s'rogues march, The entire pro
visional brigade witnessed the humflat-
ing spectacle.
Iams is twenty-four years old and is a
farmer. He is member of one of the
oldest families of Greene county and Is
related to many of the most prominent
people of the county. Opinion is divided
as to the punishment, and many of the
officers of the guard think it is too severe.
Some of them say that hanging up by
the thumbs is not permitted by the
regulations nor is the shaving of the
head. As General Snowden approved
the finding of the court martial they re-
fuse to give their views publicity.

.,ssu.ning AlarmIng proportions.

PITTsBURo, July 22.-The sympathetic
strike movement among the workmen in
the employ of the Carnegie company
is assuming rather alarming proportions,
and if ruinors now current prove cor
rect the strike will be one of the most
aggressive in the history of strikes IN the
world.
Reports come from the coke regions
that missionaries have been sent among
these men and are making efforts to
induce them to come out in body.
This, if successful, viii shut off the
supply of coke from the blast furnaces
and would compel a suspension. What
progress has been made is not known,
but the leaders say the movement is
meeting with great encouragement.
A leading man among the Connells-
vile coke workers, who was IN Pitts
burg Thursday, said that the sylnpathies
of the men in that region We're with the
Homestead strikers, and that this SYM
pathy was very crystaiized into a more
material form.
When this was stated to Secretary
Loyejoy, he said: sThis is the first in
timation 1 have had that sIlcl, a move
was contemplated, and if made of
course 1t would be serious matter"

HOMESTEAD, Pa. July 24.-IncfeaSed
activity was noticeable inside the big
mill fence Friday. Non-union work
mon We're coming by squads of from
ten to twenty ut a time by boat from
Pittsburg and few had got in unob-
served through the town of Homestead.
The number of excursionists and sight
seers who come here every day and the
presence of General Snowden's guards
makes this possible.
Something like 2j0 non-union men
We're inside the mill Friday. The
armor plate mill, the open hearth mill
and the press shop We're in operation.
Steel was passed through the rolls of
the 119-inch mill Friday. The opera
tions of these departments means that
Mr.. Prick and Superintendent Potter
are making great efforts to convince
their old men that the mills can be run
without their aid
The tonnage men are too well in
formed of the true condition of affairs
inside the mill to be alarmed at the
seeming activity. They know that the
mills now in partial operation are
manned by bosses, superintendent and
half dozen non-union steelworkers
from the Carnegie mills at Braddoclx.
They know that $50 green men can not
hands were Employed month ago. The
effects ON the day laborers and ignor-
ant Hungarians may not be the
same, but none of these men. with pos
sibly half dozen exceptions, show
signs of weakening.
Mr. Frick confidently expected two
thirds of his old hands to return before
the expiration of the time which he set.
The leaders of the strike therefore
claim victory in holding their men to-
gether, for rot per cent. of the entire
number has returned to his old place.
They are confident that they can con
tinue this state of affairs indefinitely.
The moral and financial aid which
continues to pour in confirms them In
this belief. The company. however,
look for a stampede and rs long as both
sides continue in these positive views OF
the situation, the day of settlement will
remain distant
General Suowden and his 5000 troops
are evidently here to stay and there Is
much dissatisfaction among the soldie-s
who We're suddenly called away from
their usual occupations at what they
term unnecessary detention, when few
companies would be ample to guard the
Carnegie works.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid. who is doubt

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, who is doubt
less an estimable man in his private
relations, will cut a great many
capers and turn a number of somer-
salts in his desperate endeavor to
prove to the working classes that he
has always had their best interests
at heart, but it is not likely that it
will be carelessly overlooked by the
enormous voting element of COM
positors and printers that Mr.. Reid
has been a persistent and defiant
employer of "rat" labor, and that
his paper has supported capital
against labor in every strike of re-
cent years. Probably no man in
America is more clearly on record
than Mr.. Reid as a defender of the
employer against the employed, and
he has persistently carried out his
convictions in the conduct of his
own business. The employees OF
the Tribune are more poorly paid
than those of any newspaper in
New York. A reporter is paid 81
a column on the Tribune, and SO on
the Herald, and there are more
words in the former newspaper col.
umn than in the latter. On this
principle of grinding down his peo-
pie and getting the largest profit fol
the least outlay, Whitelaw Reid
built up the IrtJune's waning for,
tunes, and by marrying the daugh.
ter of a times millionaire he has
fiourished into a condition that
made him good game as Republi
can Vice President.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2i.-General
Snowden,s statement that the entire
force of militia ut present concentrated
at Homestead would remain here until
all danger of trouble had passed, has
thrown a dainper on the Feelings of
many of the strikers. They did not
know of General Snowden's determina-
ton I'LL Wednesday morning, but when
they did know, tongues that had been
bridled since the militia came, threw of
restraint and talked freely.
They declare it is a mistake ON the
part of General Snowden; that he has
seen enough of them to know their in
clinations are peaceful and that they are
not set of outlaws, as the outside
world believe, owing to the continued
presence of the troops.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 20.-Between
100 and 200 non-union men were at
work in the Carnegie mills Tuesday and
more We're ut work Wednesday.
The strikers declare the sounds of
changing hammers and putting steam
and the dense clouds of black smoke
which pour from the smokestacks are
only bluffs and that the mills can not be
run without the Homestead workmen.
Whether they can or not remains to be
seen. as it is probable the non-union
men would quit work should the mill
tary be recalled.

1t would be quite impossible to
convince Andrew Carnegie and his
sympathizers that donating a library
here and building a music hall there
are trivial actions. As the iron
manufacturer figures his colossal
profits and decides that three hun
dred and odd mon are being paid
too much for their labor; as he
scales down the wages of these
men and smiles at the difference It
makes in his credit balance; as these
dnll-headed mechanics object to the
reduction; as the manufacturer calls
in the services of a private gang of
detectives to enforce his authority;
as murder ensues and the dead are
carried off the field; as these rather
unconventional episodes follow each
other it requires some temerity, we
presume, to stand out and say that
in the face of that bloody sequel to
tho manufacturer desire to in
crease his mammoth gains, his puny
sops to art and literature are hypo-
critical insults, pretentious shams,
Objectionable humbug. One bigot
tells you that business is business
and the reduction was right; an
other rambIes on about the misera-
bic foreigners coming over and ex-
pecting five times what they got at
home; another rolls round in an ar
gument that has no basis at all. In
the face of everything they say is
the one shining fact: Andrew Car
negie has become one of the richest
men in the world by making enor-
nous profits on the labor he en-
ploys. He can afford to give mill
ions away in what he terms phi
lanthropy. But he persists in seal
ing down the wages of small body
of workmen, knowing he will bring
on riot by doing SO. The riot
comes, and he employs private
crow of men to go to war for him.
Human beings are slain in order to
carry his point. And he thinks
that the blood stains are purged
from his soul if he only donates an
other library.
1t was to Carnegie, not to his
workmen, that We had right to
look for the preservation OF peace.
But the smooth, luxurious Scotch
man, who is rich to the point of
disease, ordered his miserable bench
men to crash into the strikers.
They crashed. While the blood
flowed Carnegie, safe in Scotland,
gave orders for another music hall.
Pahl What has all this got to do
with the great problem of labor2
Nothing. 1t is ornamental private
murder, begun by cutthroat bust
ness methods and brought to a
climax by the Pinkerton agency.
The music halls, the libraries, the
parks, the model houses, are mere
veneer. Bread comes before books,
clothing is more important than a
Damrosch concert. These are tru-
isms not yet understood by Andrew
Carnegie, and until he learns them
he will probably continue to grind
down his workmen to the smallest
possible wages, and dazzle them as
they starve with an oratorio, by a
full band and chorus, all paid for by
himself.

RecIprocity and reform.

CRY OF MEXICO, July 22.-The new
term of Office of President Diaz, which
begins in December, will, in all .proba-
bility, be characterized by important
fiscal reforms, including economies in
administration, cutting of all expenses
lowering customs duties, especially ON
raw material and generally with a view
to encouraging the importation of goods
IN universal demand. The policy of the
financial department hitherto has been
to increase the tariff, this being consid-
cred the easiest way to secure funds for
meeting the growing expenses of the
government, but the new view has
gradually come to be taken, which is
that lowering duties will increase trade
and consequently add to the revenues
by increasing the popular consumption
