workmen would be deprived of the ad-

whom they have had confidence ever

stead is filed with detectives in the
employ of the Carnegie company.
Their mission seems to be to watch
the men and bring influence to bear on
the men composing the rank and

the leaders, they say they do not care
how many detectives the company
may employ to watch them.
The town is also filling up with nom
union workmen. To deny this would
be to deny 1.-The truth. Every train
brings unprincipled fellows into the
place. These men can come for no
other purpose than to work the
strikers for a S. or SO bill and free
tickets to eastern cities. Homestead
is certainly becoming the Mecca for
tramps, who represent themselves as
non-union workmen. but are willing to
get out of town again if the strikers
will give them a little cash and free
railroad tickets.
