the wages will be the same as those pald
Amalgamated wOrkmen. but no associa-
tion will be recognized. Finishers, II IS
said. will profit specially by the new agree
ment.
The fires have been started in the Union
Mills, and work will probably be resumed
in few days. The strikers are quiet, ana
no trouble is anticipated. There nave
been no attempts as yet to resume az
Duquesne and Beaver Falls. and none will
be made until the Homestead and Union

Edgar Thomson works. Braddock. was
settled by Manager Schwab, and the men
have returned to work.

engineers who exhibited their certificates
and really seem to handle the pOnderous
machinery very easily. Three heavy plates

WORK PROCEEDING SATISFACTORILY.
Work is being directed toward the naval
contracts. and Mr.. Potter says there Will
be little or no delay in furnishing the
material. 1--WE have all the laboTers and
yard-men we want now," said he, and
we are discriminating in our selections. Ii

were no more arrests. The eight strikers

Mr.. FBICK's CONDITION.
Mr.. II. c. Frick's cordition continues
favorable. He passed a comfortable day.
He has a good appetite, and his tempera-

William J. Brennan. counsel for the
strikers, stated this evening that the pro-
posed suits against Messrs. Frlck, Potter,
and Loyeioy for conspiracy had not been
abandoned, but that nothing would be
done until &r. Friok had recovered.
The police do not expect to make any
more arrests OF Anarchists at present. In
spector McKelyey said he did not think
that John Most would be arrested now,
as they had no use for him.
