The LswrencevilIe steel strikers don't
seem to comprehend the import CT the
Homestead capitulation. They have not
yet declared their strike of. They held q
large meeting at Eintract Hall yesterday
to decide whether they should return to
work, but though they continued in session
several hours failed to reach conclusion.
Some of the speakers argued against going
to work, and were loudly cheered. The
five Amalgamated lodges of the Lawrence
vile district will meet tomorrow morning
to decide the question.
AT the Thirty-third street mill the su-
perintendent said theN had all the men
needed, but many old men will be taken
back when vacancies occur. At the Twen-
ty-ninth street mill men are putting the
works in order. Old men will be assigned
to this mill temporarily when they apply

yesterday. At Amalgamated headquarters

On account of the enormous wealth OF tne

their wealth enabled the company to stand
the expense of experimenting, which a firm
less powerful would have been unable to do.
The association regretted having to 60 into

The association will use all its influence to
help those men who may not for time be
able to secure work. While Tor season
there will be more or less loss of time to
them, our members everywhere will be
ready and willing to secure situa tions for
them where it is possible to do so. The as
sociation will continue its conservative
course and we have every reason to believe
that the success which has attended its pre-
vious efforts will follow it in the future. We

Secretary Lovejoy said: 'The company
is naturally pleased that the strike is
ended. but none of the new men, if compe-
tent, will be discharged tor the old work
