The Situation at the Upper Union Mill Re-
mains Unchanged.
At the Upper Union Mills of the Car
negie Steel Company yesterday Manager
Dillon reports that although five or six OF
their non-union men failed to report yester-
day morning they did not miss them. He
further stated that the management had
succeeded in securing 80 new recruits and
that the mill would be run double turn to-
day.
The Press Committee representing the
locked-out men claim that all is not as re-
ported in the mill. They have induced five
of the best roughers and catchers in the
mill to join the Amalgamated forces. 1t is
also stated that the 20-inch mill which was
broken down on Saturday has not been re-
paired. A workman in the Twenty-ninth
street mill says the furnaces in that works
were all dampened yesterday morning.
The furnaces have been burning four
weeks Nothing has been done in the lower
mill since the strike and now it is closed
down completely.
The locked-out men held large meeting
yesterday afternoon in Union Hall, at
Thirty-second street and Liberty avenue.
The men were addressed upon the situation
by Vice President Weigh, Chairman War
rem and Richard Nichols, and David Lynch,
of Homestead There were various other
speakers, and all spoke upon the same SUBJ
ject.
Previous to the meeting there were
various rumors ahoat to the effect that
compromise would be suggested, but this
talk was declared to be without foundation,
and the subject was not broached

MR, FRICK COMING BACK.

Tho Chairman Of the Carnegie Company
Expected to Return To-Day-Secretary
Lovejoy Says the Firm Is Satisfied With
the " ork Dons at the Mills.
Secretary Lovejoy says II. G. Frick will
be home this morning. He is supposed to
be either at Ligonier or Cresson. Where
ever he is, Phil Knox and half dozen iron
men accompanied him. They did not leave
the city in body, but met afterward. Mr..
Knox will return with the Chairman.
No informations were made yesterday.
The Twenty-ninth street mill will be started
after the Thirty-third and Homestead are
in good running order. Mr. Lovejoy states
that three train of rolls are now going
double turn in the Thirty-third street mill:
by next Saturday. The new
open hearth department at Homestead
was put in operation for the first time yes
terday. Mr.. Lovejoy says this will greatly
facilitate matters, as the men can handle
hot steel in two hours, while it takes them
ten hours to dispose of the cold steel.
The Secretary laughs at the story that
the inspectors had found fault
with the product at Homestead.
He says he talked with the
Government men in the last two days, and
they expressed themselves as well pleased
and had no complaints to make. Mr.. Love-
joy adds that President Gompers knows
that more than 600 men are employed in
the works The number now is LOO, and
they have all been assorted. No more
rollers are wanted, and all the men are
working to the satisfaction of Superintend-
ent Potter.
The Philadelphia Company received
orders yesterday from the Carnegie Com
pany to keep on the gas at the Upper
Union Mills, as they proposed to 60 on
double turn.

While one firm NAV have no trouble in
making satisfactory agreement with their
steel workers another may have q hundred
obstacles to surmount before they can put
their mill in operation. The only promi-
nent firms thus far who have signed the
steel scale are the Illinois Steel Company,
Believille Steel Company and the Oliver
Iron and Steel Company. 1t may take
some time before the many other steel
plants throughout the country have their
mills running in good order and with their
full equipment of men.
Working on the Jobbing Scale.
The jobbing scale is all but settled. Sec
Fetary Jarret, of the Association of Iron
and Steel Sheet Manufacturers met Presi-
dent Weihe, of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion Saturday night. Some concessions
were made bv Mr.. Weihe, but the scale was
far from being fixed after their conference.
Mr.. Jarret called upon Mr.. Weihe again
Yesterday. They discussed the jobbing
scale and some other items were fixed.
The two officials would probably have
settled their differences yesterday, but
President Weihe was called to attend the
meeting of the Lawrenceville workers To-
day there will be another conference, when
President Weihe expects that the prices for
certain special gauges and sizes will be de-
termined and the iobbing scale signed.
As soon as this is accomplished five more
mills under the jurisdiction of the Amalga-
mated Association will be put in operation.
The concessions in the jobbing sheet mills
will be about 10 per cent of the former
prices, or about the same as the reductions
in the iron scale.

Lindsay's family two weeks ago, was held

Mary McNamee, the servant girl in the
house, on account of Jealousy of whom
Chiodo is thought to have committed the
crime, told her story and identified the re-
volver found on Chiodo as the one he had
threateningly displayed when she had been
forced into her promise of marriage to him.
She also produced letter received from
Chiodo in which he proclaims his love for
her, wants her to make his supper and keep
his house clean, and asking her to indicate
the kind of earrings and silk dress he will
buy her. The letter was written BY friend,

B. & o. Telegraph Operators Preparing a
Scale of Wages for the Road.
The telegraph operators from % divisions
of the B. & o. road are holding a meeting
at the St. Charles Hotel to consider the
question of wages and number of griev-
ances. j. 7. Nolan, of Washington, is
the Chairman and E. D. Greib, Sec
retary The operators belong to the
Order of Railway Telegraphers. Mr.. Nolan
saws they nave $4,000 members in the
United States. The boys claim that for the
skill required they ere paid less than any
other class of men in the railroad business.
For one thing they want the minimum rate
of wages fixed at $50 per month, and they
think they ought to be paid for overtime,
especially when they are held by wrecks.
Mr.. Nolan was careful to explain that
they had no special grievances against the
B. & o. road. They will ask for small
advance in wages, and believe they will get
it. The grievances are not of the same order,
but each man has something to complain
about. The scale of wages pre-
pared will be presented to the
Baltimore & Ohio road, to be adopted on
the line between Philadelphia and Chicago
If successful a scale will be arranged for
all the roads whose operators are organized.
The advance in the rate per hour will be
from to cents, and not 25 CENTS as re-
ported.

to be very indifferent about the result in
November. He will be responsible for
Pennsylvania, but will not do much work
outside of the State. Asked if the Home
stead trouble would affect the vote, he re-
piled that he didn't know. He hadn't
thought much about it. He supposed Har-
