and the men brought to Homestead. So
| persistent became these rumors that the
| locked-out men sent committee last
night to investigate the matter. The
committee reached Washington about
nighttall and were directed to the camp.
They gave out that they were agents of
the Carnegie Steel Company. They
| were directed To Mr.. Mailman, who
| had charge of the men. He told them
that the men were employed at grading
and digging sewers in Washington.
| The committee then went among the
men and tried to hire some. There was
not one who would agree to come here,
according to the committee.
Except for women cursing the militia,
| Homestead was in a dcath-llke quiet
this morning and throughout the night,
MAY God remember you for coming here
| to help take the bread from the mouths
of the children" shrieked one Amaz on
atColonel Grenns, the officer in command
nearest the Carnegie property and close
to the strikers headquarters.
Experiences of this surt, while not
| numerous, were not reliahcd by the sol
diers and they were not slow to attrib-
ute the outbreaks Of bitterness 10 grow
ing dependency in the strikers ranks.
Some even based the broad prediction
on such disagreeable incidents that the
break up of the strike had already be-
gun. The strikers, on the other hand,
had different explanation of any in
creased bud feeling for the troops.
Ii was suggested that the announce
mcnt this morning of General Snowden
that, contrary TO widespread eXpccta-
a l. Ia
drawn until the existing disorders in
Homestead were settled, had more to do
with growth Of dislike for the militia
than had any alleged dependency.
No MORE ARRESTS.
The departure for Pittsburg of the
witnesses subppnoed in the McLuckic
case was the chief event 10 break the
early morning monotony. No more
warrants charging murder had been
served and the impression deepened that
none would be until something definite
had been done regarding the burgess,
and prehaps not for some time after
wards.
Picnic PROPOSED.
Preparations were in progress for a
counterpoise to any temptation that
might arise in the final hours named in
Superintendent Potter's proclamation
about tomorrow afternoon ending the
period when the amalgamated men and
their Culaborers might seek rcadmission
To the mills. The attraction devised by
the men was picnic to commence at 2
p. III. tomorrow under tile auspices OF
Munhall Lodge Of the amalgamated
organization, Big Spring Grove, from
which a view of the steel works can be
had, was the place named for the out
ing No speechmaking was put on the
. programme, though encouraging adj
dresses were believed to have been fully
determined on. The alurement chiefly
set in handbills was dancing, and the
chances OF II day in the woods with gay
music and swcethcarts was pitted
against the idea Of DOMINIC overalls
and surreptitiously beginning toll at
furnaces under the muZzle of rifles and
gatling guns
