THE W0RKMEN WARNED
r0 QUrT WoRK By THE STRIKERS.
Mr.. Frick Nearly Reeoyered-The Number
Of Nop-Union Men at Homestead
Is Daily Increasing

PuTsBUEG. Pa, July 29.-Of the many
men who have returned 70 work in the
Homestead mills-about one hundred and
/ twenty-five. it is said-every man has re-
ceived terrible warnings of dire punish
ment if he does not quit work at
once. The men on going home have
| found sand bags tied to their doors every
morning for week past, and requests
and warnings have been hung on the front
/ knobs They have received letters through
the mails which contain bloodthirstY
threats of punishment for deserting the
ranks of the strikers. In addition TO this
committees of the strikers have approached
each man and personally warned him Of his
peril IN remaining at work.
DRIVE OUT THE FoBE8ES.
The strikers have driven six foremen out
Of the best paying departments in the Home
stead mill. Rhe men earned about S12 day
each. They were told 10 leave of work
under pain Of being violently dealt with, but
they stayed for a week. Then, when one of
them was caught outside the mill he was sew
verely beaten. and he aud the others were
told they would be murdered if they did not
leave. The six foremen left and we're given
by the officials two days in which 70 return
returned, but they came q day late aud
were not Fe-employed.
The Rev. Mrs. Amanda Deyo. universal
peace commissioner OF Scranton. Pa, who
came here as a representative Of the Uni
yersal Peace Union 10 settle the Homestead
strike, returned 70 her home this morning
and the strike will 60 on. The attempt Of
the peecemaker was futile.
TO WORK AT THE OLD SCALE.
There was another conference today of
the Joint scale committee of the Amalga-
mated Association and the iron manu-
facturers. The latter made prop
osltlon that the men resume work
at the old scale. leaving the pre-
sent troublesome question to arbitration,
subject to the voice OF oil the members Of
the association as TO whether arbitration
would settle 10 or not. The manufacturers
said they were willing 20 wait for two weeks
for q reply TO their proposition. The con-
ference was therefore adjourned for two
weeks.
Mr.. FRICK ALMOST WELL.
Mr.. Frick passed a comfortable night and
was resting easy this morning. But Mr..
trick is doing more than that. He Is now
almost we'll. His wounds are nearly healed
and there IS no trace of Inflammation. nor
has suppuration been noticed. He reads
propped up in bed. Daily the heads of de-
partments report to him and practically the
wounded chairman directs the conduct OF
the enormous Carnegie business.
COMING OF SoN-UEIoE MEN.
The gas retorts in the Carnegie City Union
Mills were started this morning and will be
increased IN pressure until the mill is ready
% start. There are about $50 machnlsts
and laborers making repairs in both plants,
which are nearly finished, and when
Superintendent Dillon gives the word
both mills will be operated. Mean
while the strikers stand idly by, and the
company is prepared TO fiji both mills with
non-union men at short notice. Enough
nOn-union men were sent 10 Home
stead this morning and last night 10 in
crease the number there 10 800 This morn
ing the tug-boat Tide took seVenty-hve men
up the river to the Homestead mills. There
have been no other departments started.
but the entire plant, with the exception Of
q couple Of slab mills is doing business
single turn.
o'AERA RIDICULEs THE IDEA.
Superintendent of Police Rogers O'Mera
will make no further charges against An
archist Frederick Molliok. arrested at Long
Branch as an aocomplIce of Assassin Berg
man. He says one charge is sufficient TO
hold him. The superintendent ridicules
the attempt TO arrest him for kidnapping
Mollick, by whom ho calls two cheap
lawyers" He has the authority Of
the city of Pittsburg and he says Mollick
came willingly. Besides this the prisoner
was not in his custody until after they
crossed the Pennsylvania line. being in that
of reporter A search in Henry Bauers
rooms has revealed a pocketbook contain
ing letters from August Spies. Nina
Van Zandt. John Most and other in
formation as 10 groups and names which
will be used AS evidence. Bauers posses
sions show him TO be a member Of the inner
circle of Anarchists. The police have a
photograph discovered in BaueFs room Of
the man who was with Bergman just be-
fore the tragedy occurred in Mr. Friek's
Office. Bergman has made no further ad-
missions In Jail IL is said he will be de-
Tended by afund to be raised among bis New
