The Carnegie Work, VIII Pay tho Same
Ratio as tho Amalsamatcd scaie.
PIrrsBURdn, Pa, July 2s.-The Car.
negie Steel Company, Limited, have
prepared scale for tho Union mills in
this city and tho Beaver Falls plant,
which the new men, or those Of the
former employees who return to work,
will be required to sign. The scale will
extend until January. 1904, and the
wages will be the same as paid the
Amalgamated workmen, but no associa-
tion will be recognized.
The finishers, 1t is said, will profit
especially by the new agreement.
Tho fires have been started In the
Union mills and work will probably be
resumed in few days. The strikers
are quiet and no trouble is anticipated.
There have been no attempts made us
yet to resume at Duquesne or Beaver
Falls, and none will be made until the
Homestead and Union plants are in full
operation. The trouble with the trans
portation men at the Edgar Thompson
works, Braddocks, was settled by man
aser Schwab and the men have re.
turned to work. At the Homestead
plant the force is being steadily in.
creased, nearly 100 now men were sent
up on tho Tide to-day.
An Associated Press representative
went through tho works this morning
and found fully 700 mon atwork. The
mon are very intelligent, and not few
college graduates, who, attracted by the
reports OF high wages in tho steel
works, prefer learning trade to set
tling down to thedouhtful expediency Of
profession for livelihood. There
are, besides, number OF experienced
mechanical engineers, who exhibited
their certificates, and really seem to
handle the pondorous machinery very
easily. Throo heavy plates wore rolled
before the representatives. eyes, and
seemingly with as little friction as in
any rolling mill. :.
No further informations were made
to-day against the Homestead men, and
there wero no moro arrests. Tho eight
strikers, arrested yesterday for aScrava-
ted riot, were all released on s., 900 bail
each. The remainder OF the thirty.siS
arc still at large.
MIR. II. @. Frick's condition continues
favorable. He passed comfortable day.
He has good appetite; and his tenn
perature respiration and pulse arc in
their normal state. All indications
point to q safe and speedy recovery.
VIM. ]. Brennan, esq, counsel for the
strikers. stated this evening that the
proposed suits against Messrs. Frick,
Potter and Lovejoy for conspiracy had
not been abandoned, butnothing would
be done until Mr.. Frick had recovered.
The police do not expect to make any
more arrests OF anaichists at present.
Inspector McKelvey said he mot think
Herr Most would be arrested now, as
they had no use ior him. He believed
Emma Goldman's story, that Most Is
an anarchist for revenue only.
"Ho has number of these people
who fear him." said the INSPECTOR, "and
1t will be almost impossible TO connect
him with the case. However, We will
see to it that he does not get away"
Secretary Loveioy said this evening
that tho Carnegie officials would take
no part in tho prosecution OF the an
archists now under arrest here, except
in the case OF Bergman, and lie would be
pushed to the limit.
1t was reported tonight that Jones &
Laughlin's American iron works had de-

start their immense plant with nom
union men. These works are among
tho largest in the country and employ
$500 mon. Hon. Ben Jones, the prin.
clpal owner, is tho ox.chairman oil tho
National Republican committee.
Ifit Is truo that the Jones & Laughlin
firm contomplatos this action aud a
struggle almost aI great us that now in
