The Carnegie Company WIN Not Accept
the Services OF Many OF tho old Men.
HOMESTEAD. PA, November 21.-Of
course grand rush was expected for work
az the mills this morning, and such proved
TO be the case. As early as 8 o'clock the
rush began, and il kept the police outside
the mill office busy handling the crowd. By
@ o'clock the rush was over, but a large
number were turned away, some with good
J prospects Of securing their old positions in
the very near future. while many were in
formed that they would be given no work
under any situation. 1t is now
plainly evident that the blacklist
is quite long, and those whose
names appear on this list will be forced to
seek work elsewhere The firm are in
cGned 10 favor the old men as much as pos
sible and there has already been a large
number of colored men discharged to make
room for the old employees. The condition
of the plant is such that repairs will short.
| ~ have TO be made and the old men have
| hopes that they viii be given their old pO-
sitiOns after repairs are completed. An
| thOny StackhOuse, pipe-htter at the steel
works, was found dead in his bed at the
/ Carnegie Hotel last night. He had been
complaining during the week but never
/ asked for treatment and when the coroner
came this morning and took away the body
no one knew the direct cause Of death. He
came here from PiJts0urG some few weeks
! ago.
PITTsBURG, November 2l.-Speaking of
/ the action of the Amalgamated lodges in
! declaring the Homestead strike OF, Ma
tiCnal Secretary Kigallon said today
! "The Association is well satisfied with
! the conduct Of the men during the struggle.
U
/ painful, the loyalty Of the men to the Asso-
| citation and the confidence they rep0sed in
| each other is without parallel in labor dis
putes From the start the men were mas
/ ters Of their own destiny and the AssOcia-
/ ton has confined Itself to assisting
/ in every possible way to bring
/ about a successful termination OF
/ the struggle. If il has not been able to do
! that, itsdoes not reflect upon the power and
! influence Of the organization. The case
was one where a vast accumulation OF
/ wealth in the hands in the Carnegie Com
/ pany sWayed the tide Of battle in their
/ favor. The Association viii continue its
/ conservative course, and we have very
good reason 20 believe that the success
/ which has hitherto attended its previous
/ efforts viii follow it in the future \ re-
! port 10 the effect that the funds for the
| lOcked-Out men were misGpplied was ludig-
| uautly denied by President Garland, who
I said If necessary il could be shown how
( every cent Of the money received mac been
I expended 1t was learned that the defence
! fund on behalf Of the men underindictment
/ viii still be kept open ard number Of sub
| scriDtiOnS to il are expected 10 flow in from
/ all parts of the country.
( Secretary Lovejoy Of the Carnegie COM
| pa-v, On being asked what remarks he had
/ 10 mGkei I'm regard TO the mill being declared
| open by the union, said: We are not COM
menting even on the weather now. How
! ever I may venture 10 say that this ac-
| ton Of the Amalgemated Association will
have no effect whatever on the indictments
against the tisturbers of the peace at
Homestead. These are now in the hands
| Of the law officers Of the commonwealth,
and by them Of course will be pushed to an
/ issue So far IS the Homestead mill is
concerned places will be given TO all the
old men VINO wish to return, provided
! there as room for them, but none Of tue men
now working and who are competent viii
1 be displaced TO favor men hailing from the
Association.
