LATER NEWS.
Declared on.

HoIEsTKAD, Pa, Nov. 2o.-The great
strike at Carnegie's Homestead steel
works has been declared off. After a
five months struggle, which, for bitter
ness, has probably never been equalled
in this country, the army of strikers
finally decided today to give up the
fight. This action was taken at a meet
ing of the lodges of the Amalgamated
association at Homestead this after
noon, the vote standing 101 in favor Of
declaring the strike off and 81 against
it. Among those present at the meet
ing were Vice President Carney, Secre-
tary Kilgallon, Treasurer Madden and
David Lynch, of the advisory board.
The officials addressed the members,
and in plain words told them the strike
was lost and advised them to take steps
to better their condition. The remarks
met with considerable opposition. but
when the vote was taken it showed a
majority of ten in favor of declaring
the strike off.
i Those who were in favor of calling
1.-THE strike off were jubilant, while those
who were against it were badly put out.
Most of the latter were men who were
obstinate, and many of them were men
who had either applied for positions in
the mill and had been turned down, or
felt sure that their names were on the
company's blacklist, and that they could
not get positions. A member of the adj
visory board said today that he had
been trying to get the strike declared
off for some weeks, as he knew it was
lost, and it would have been better for
the men, as a great many more of them
could have gotten their places back.
Those who cannot get back are in bad
fix, as the relief funds will be stopped,
and many hundreds of them have moth
ing to live on.
The strike at one time involved near
" 10, ZOO men. and the loss in wages, it
is said, will reach 1900, 900. Then
there is the immense loss to the firm.
which cannot be estimated, but which
conservative people estimate at least
double the amount lost by the men in
wages To this can be added nearly
$500. 900 paid to the state troops and the
cost TO the county of Allegheny for the
riot, reason and other cases growing
out of the strike.
At least thirty-fve deaths were di-
rectly or indirectly caused by the strike
Besides those killed in the battle of

AFTER THE PINKERTONS.

Senate Committee i'm Chicago Investf-
eating the Employment OF Armed Men
During Labor Troubles.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. An investigation
into Pinkerton methods was begun at
the Grand Pacific hotel when Senator
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, and Sem
ator Pfeffer. of Kansas, of the senatorial
committee of seven appointed by the
president last August, began looking
into the Chicago end of the relations
between detectives and labor organiza-
tions. The work was quietly begun
and it was not known it was in prog
ress until a representative of the
Pinkerton agency made his appearance
as a witness. The two senators named
are the only ones in the city, the other
mem bers, Senator Hansborough, of
North Dakota; Fenton, of California;
White, of Louisiana, and Hill, of New
York, not being able to be present.
The Pinkerton officers say they are
not at all worried by the inquiry and
say the committees work of investiga-
tion is general in its nature and is not
specifically directed toward the Home
stead affair. They think the report
made by the senators will result in a
law expressing the best method of
dealing with labor troubles in the way
of strikes and riots.
