the Congressional Committee.
PITTsBURG, July 15-W, D. Bynum, of
Indiana, was the only prompt member of
the Congressional committee investigating
the causes of the Homestead strike and
riot
The labor element was particularly well
represented.
H. G. Frick, chairman of the steel com
pany, and his attorneys were early on
hand. Mr.. Frick carried huge bundle
of data.
Chairman Oates announced at the OPEN
ing that the commission so far had search
ed only for facts and were not ready to
make report. He declared it likely that
there would be no minority report.
After several men had testified Mr. Frick
was recalled. He said that some of the
workmen had testified that the poorest
paid men and those who had the hardest
work suffered most under the reduction.
He selected the wages during the month
of May, just before the trouble, admitting
though that those wages were little
large. Out of 300 men employed in the
119-inch plate mill, only 81 were reduced.
In 1889, 296 men were employed in the
same department and by the change in
the scale then, 1876 were affected and 100
were not. More men were affected by the
sliding scale than any other
In the armor plate mill out of 157 en-
ployees, 81 are reduced. He said that
Burgess McLukie had stated yesterday
that the company purchased the Allegheny
steel plant, so as to control the price of
billets and cut down the wages of the
workmen. This was absurd.
The pay roll at Duquesne is $1,000
Only 40 per cent Of the workmen were
affected by the sliding scale. These men
produced 200, 600 tons of billets monthly
If billets were reduced 81 ton this would
mean loss of $4,000 and this would be
offset only by a gain of $4,000 in the
Homestead mill.
Mr.. Frick said Mr.. McLukie was a poor
fnancier.i
He was asked why he proposed a reduc-
tion of wages He stated that the first
reason was reduced prices received for the
product, and, second, the increased ton
mage by reason of improved machinery,
which increased the pay of the men, they
being paid according to tonnage,

ADJOURNMENT OF coNeRess.
It Will Probably Be Next Week - Tn
Anti-OptiOn Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-It is the opinion
of Mr.. McMillin, acting chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, and other
Democratic leaders in the House, that an
adjournment Of Congress can be reached
by the latter part of noxt week.
In the Senate there is the same feeling
regarding speedy dissolution, and Mr.
Aldrich thinks the 25th will bring with it
the adjournment of Congress.
The last appropriation bill, the General
Deficiency, was Wednesday reported I'd the
Senate with few amendments, and will
be taken up Immediately after the Supdry
Civil bill is disposed Of. 1t is not ex-
pected that the appropriation bills will
lead to much delay, except for the World 8
Fair clause in the Sundry Civil bill This
item when it reaches the House with its
appropriation, is likely to cause
debate.
1t is true that the anti-Option bill
hoVers with something Of q shadow over
the situation.
Senator Washburn has announced his
intention of again calling up the bill at
the earliest opportunity. This would not
occur, he thought, until the General Def
cheney bill was disposed Of
When asked if the anti-option measure
was likely to delay adjournment, he said;
Personally would be willing to stay
here until December In order to see the
bill passed, but do not suppose its other
friends are quite as enthusiastic.
'The bill ought to be passed now, so
that the growers Of crops can secure its
benefits for this years harvest. 1 shall
certainly press it with all sincerity md
earnestness, think that 1t will not de-
lay adjournment.
As matter Of fact, the opponents of
the bill say that they want to debate it for
six weeks If it should only be debated
for one week, it could undoubtedly pe
amended, and this would require a con
ference with the House. Altogether
nearly month would be occupied by the
bill, and it is doubtful whether either
House desires at this junctre to devote
much time to it.

MORE MEN OUT.
The Workers in Carnogis's Pittsburg Mills
Also on Strike.


PITTsBURG, July 15.-Yesterday after
noon the members of the Amalgamated
Association employed in Carnegies Union
iron mills at Goth street and at 38d street
carried out their threat to stop work un-,
less conference was opened by Chairman
H. @. Frick with the Homestead work.
men. Shortly after, about2 o'clock, as
their heats were run, the men began leav-
ing the works in squads.
By o'clock the mills were practically
deserted. The move was in sympathy
with the locked-out men at Homestead,
and independent of the Amalgamated As
sociation, the strikers voluntarily forfeit
ing any claim upon the Associations treas
ury in the nature of strike benefits or
financial assistance. The men do not fear
that their places in these mills will be
filed with "black sheep" and have no
idea when they will be ready to return to
work.
This is the busiest season of the year in
these mills, and builders will be especially
affected by this strike. Superintendent
Dillon shook hands with many of the men
as they left, expressing regret at the
course they had adopted. He could give
no information as to the course the COM
pany would pursue. The laborers will be
kept at work few days longer.

HOMESTEAD UNDER MARTIAL LAW.


HOMESTEAD, July 15.-The proclaim
ing of martial law in Homestead has
caused no particular excitement. Hugh
O'Donnell, the young leader of the work
men, when informed of the fact said he
was glad of it, because the city is full Of
strangers, and there is need of good police
supervision He said:
"Our police will not now be held re-
sponsible for the action of these strangers,
who do not appear to be workmen, but
idlers, camp followers and general rascals.
They have not come here to take the
places of our men, but to rob and pill
lage"
Mr.. O'Donnell continued; "Be assured
that the protestations of our men of friend
hness for the soldiers are sincere. They
are not the disingenuous protests of men
with treacherous hearts, as some of the
officers seem to think they are. We do
not intend to fight or to make any trouble,
but all hands are willing to obey the
law"
Mr.. O'Donnell declared that there would
be no address issued to the men concern
ing the proclaiming of martial law, as it
was not needed The men, he was con-
fident would be moderate In all their ac-
tions and strictly observe the rules and
regulations established by the military
authorities.
The new order of things appears to be
looked at by many of the worlmen as a
sort of huge joke, and there has been
much laughter and jesting about the mar
tial law. There is little or no bad feeling
about it, and all hands have begun to sub
nit to the changed condition of affairs
with good grace, which is really aston
ishing under the circumstances.

Mr.. Frick said one roller in the 98-inch
mill earned in "a days 1886. 90 and another
in % days S247. The six heaters in the
same mill averaged S130 per month. There
viii be no change in the wages of these
men.
AS to the mortgages held on property
of employees Mt Homestead, Mr. Frick said
these papers were issued only to aid the
workmen in building homes. Never once
has mortgage been foreclosed. The in
terest charged is per. cent. The men
are allowed the same rate on moneys
deposited with the firm These sums
amount to $40, 900 The mortgages amount
to $42, 900. The witness refused to an
