HOMESTEAD PEOPLE Beginning TO
SHOW BAD TEMPER.
Burgess McLuckie Released on Ten Thous-
and Dollar Bond-Attempt to Put scabs
in Union Mills Successfully Re-
sisted-A Picnic Today.

PITTsBURG, July 20.-After listen
ing to all the testimony and addresses
and no objection being made, Judge
Magee this morning released Burgess
McLuckie on $4,000 bail. Owen
Murphy and o. G. Coon of Homestead
signed the bond and McLuckie was
released Much to the disappoint-
ment of the crowd neither Ben But
Ter nor Ex-Governor Hoodley took
part in the proceedings. Attorney
Cox said they had not yet decided
about making informations against
the Carnegie officials.
NoN-UNIoN MEN STOPPED.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 20.-Consider-
able excitement was caused in the
neighborhood of Thirty-third street
this morning by the attempt of fifty
non-union men to get into the upper
Union mills. Strikers have been pa
trolling this district day and night
and Immediately upon the appear
ance of the men they were surrounded
by large body of strikers. No arms
or clubs were displayed, but the stu
alton looked serious for a time. One
of the new men made a show of re-
sistance and was roughly handled,
but cooler heads prevented a disturb
ance and the new men were finally
induced to leave. Another alteration
took place at the Biz Gate. An old en-
ploye tried to enter the mill, when he
was stopped by the guard, and after
BRIEF wrangle, was forced to depart
without succeeding in his mission.
At noon everything was quiet about
the big mill; the strikers are anXiously
waiting to sec what will be done to-
morrow, when the date for the old
mon to return expires.
HoMEsTEADERs IN BAD HUMoR
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 20.-Gen,
Snowden's statement last evening
that the troops will be kept here un-
til the trouble is settled one way or
the other, caused a profound sensa-
tion here. However, except for the
women cursing the militia, everything
is extremely quiet. The strikers will
give picnic tomorrow as counter
attraction to any temptation that
might come on the final day out one
set by superintendent Potter on which
the men can apply.
sIXTY-FIvE MEN AT WORK.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 20.-An
entrance to the Carnegie mill was
made this afternoon by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press. Each
one of the departments was visited,
not once merely but twice, and q
glance inside was not taken as salts
factory, but walk as nearly as pos
sible straight through the center of
each of the great structures was
taken. A careful count on each tour
was kept of the number of persons
met. The total on the first tour was
sixty-five, on the second sixty-three.
The total included work men of
every description. The office
building at the main entrance
being alone left unvisited. The fires
were burning in part of the open
hearth department No. and in the
armor plate mill, but in neither was
there more than half o dozen men
when the newspaper inspection was
made. Two locomotives were in oper-
alton in the yards and in one place
what seemed to be red hot newly
made or newly heated armor plates
were seen. This is the sum total of
everything bearing resemblance to
new product that could be observed in
the tour or during its repetition. Open
hearth No. l is wholly deserted, not
one Waterman being visible.
