The Carnegie Steel Works at Homestead
Shut Down.-A great Strike
Possible.

PITTSBURGH, PA, July 1.-Yesterday every
department of the immense Carnegie steel
works at Homestead was shut down, throw
ing about $500 men out of employment.
The men received notice OF the shutdown
quietly, as they had been fully prepared for
ii by the following notice posted up in many
places throughout the great works
AN employes Of the several depertments win re-;
they will receive their full pay"
This notice is simply a notice of dis
charge.
II has been the custom of the Carnegies,
and all other mills, to discharge their men
on the night of the expiration of the yearly
contract. The men had declared positively
that they would strike at the date of the ex-
pration of the yearly contract. This term
of expiration was to occur either at o'clock
this morning. or o o. clock this evening Just
as the authorities decided. At midnight the
firm cleverly forestalled the men, and fatty
declared shutdown Instead of being a
strike then at the great steel works, the ac-
ton of the firm has made it q lockout This
rather puts the men on the defensive.
The Amalgamated Association has not yet
declared strike. They had accepted the
offer of the firm and instead of declaring q
strike at the date fixed by the firm, June -,
the men had waited until June 80 before
their final move was made, OF course the
action of the firm in closing all departments
with the possible exception of the beam
observation-disclosures Il lockout instead of II
strike. As the Amalgamated has disbanded
its annual session, there is no telling when
the men will be in position to declare
strike. The Homestead six lodges of the as
sociation are rather independent but they
cannot declare a strike, and hope to receive
the support of the association, without the
consent of the latter to the strike. Until
this consent is given both sides will quietly
rest on their oars
The scale to govern wages in black plate,
sheet steel and tin plate mills was settled at
protracted meeting of the conference com
mttees of the iron and steel sheet manufac-
turers and the workers The basis of settle
ment was officially stated as being satisfac-
tory to both sides. The adjustment of the
rates has been so effected as to place the
men in a position to earn even more ages
than during last year. the only changes
made being such as were necessary TO the
changed conditions of manufacture, due to
the utilization of improved machinery. At
the close OF the meeting n resolution was
passed thanking Mr.. Weihe and j, Z, Ba-
telle, the acting secretaries, and John
jarrett for their efforts to induce recipro cal
concessions.
This amicanle adjustment of the steel
sheet and tin-platc scale cannot but have an
inspiring effect on those who have engaged
in the business, as well AS others contem-
plating entering it. The scale regulates the
wages ofabout 10000 employees working in
