dinner pals quietly stole up unfrequented
streets and along the railroad tracks and en-

strikers. As 7 o'clock approached the number

DEsEKrfya THE HOMESTEAD MILLS.
The nou-union men are deserving the Car

They ere coming out singly, in pairs and
groups. Since Saturday evening considerably
| over 100 men have deserted and have
been received with open arms by the
strikers who are in ecstacies Of delight at the
| new turn in affairs. In consequence, they are
now more confident than ever that it will he

and the strikers be taken back by their former
| EMPLOYERS and their union recognized.
Oh the many men who deserted them and put

termined TO leave the shop. Harvey says that
