his desk. instead Of attending the funeral Of his
| infant child
There was great surprise in the Office. Except
ing Secretary Loyejoy no one knew that he
was coming down town for week at least.
There was general rejoicing among the
employees from the elevator boy, David Fort
ney. who first met him. up to the
chief officials. As soon Mr.. EEick reached
the building he went into his private room,
| lighted cigar, asked that the heads of the
departments report to him usual and then
buried himself in his morning mail.
Mr. Frick had pleasant greeting for Young
Fortney. who displayed great courage in seiz-
| ing Bergman, who was endeayoring to escape
| after having shot and stabbed Messrs Frick
and Leishman, and holding Bergman until the
arrival of the police. The chairman warmly
thanked the young man. Up in the Office he

respects TO the chairman.

DUQUEsNE THE PLACE OF INTEREST NOW.
The attempt yesterday Of the Amalgsmated
Association members to prevent the old men
not organized with them from returning to
work in the Duquesne mill has. for the time,
drawn public attention away from the other
struggles between the strikers and the Carnegie
Steel Company. Duquesne has been often the
battle ground and the victories for labor
| and capital heretofore have been even. In
| this Instance the company has
taken active measures promptly. Late
last night Constable Grif.iths, accompanied by
1
| tie riot yesterday, came to Pittsburg, on the
advice Of Superintendent Morrison, and
| made informations for riot against
twelve Of the participants. who are
mostly Duquesne men, but some Of them reside
| in Homestead. A force of constables viii serve
| these warrants today and they expect serious
| trouble and have gone prepared 70 meet it.
William Weihe. president Of the Amalgamated
Association, who has kept q close watch on
Homestead events, told press representative
this morning that it might be poss,-

the Homestead mill, but not more
than one hundred of them bad any skill. and

new houses at Munhall are completed, and
Munhall, il all the Carnegie plans are carried
| out, will be big town in six months.
OLD MEN RETURN
Supt. Dillon asserts that fifteen old men re-
turned last night TO work in the SD
street mill. He declares all departments
| are running single turn and salts
factorily and the strikers affirm positively
that he is telling untruths. A roller named
Teemer, brother Of Oarsman John
Teemer, is believed by the police to be
marked" for death by the strikers for hav-
ing twice deserted his lodge and worked in
nou-union mills. These officers have warned
Teemer to be on the watch for them Teemer,
however, leaves the mills at will and says he
| fears no one.
The police this morning and during the
night dispersed large crowds on the Smith6eid
boat Tide leave her wharf. She had non-union
men aboard and the crowds were hooting so
violently that an outbreak was feared.
Secretary Lovejoy said this morning: "Du-
quesne works will be started on Monday. and
the 500 men who were employed this week viii
be at work then. The riot yesterday viii not
interfere with our plans- We now have sixty
| men working on the few repairs required and
everything will be ready BY Monday Thines
are going on without hitch ct Homestead and
the city Union mills"
