PITrsBURe, Aug 3.-Hon. John Fox,
one of the attorneys for the Amalgama-
ted Association, is authority for the
statement that to-day warrants will be
sworn out for the arrest of Chairman H.
G. Frick, Secretary f. T. F. Lovejoy,
General Superintendent Potter, and four
or five under bosses at the Homestead
Steel Works, charging them with muir
der.
Attorney Cox also says that Borough
Solicitor Milliken is preparing a num-
Der of informations charging several of
the militiamen now in camp at Home
stead with having insulted the wives and
daughters of some of the best citizens of
the borough.
The warrants cannot be served upon
are discharged from service by the Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Fr.ck continues to improve.
Supt. Potter this morning claims that
222 new men were received and
put to work in the mill yesterday. In the
party were number of steel workers.
Forty-two came from Cincinnati, but 10
of them refused to go into the mills. Sew
eral applicants were refused employment.
Mr. Potter reiterates his statement of yes
terday that the strike is broken and that
the company is the winner. One-third OF
Battery B and the Sheridan Troop of cav
airy broke camp yesterday and started
home.
Officers of the company have sent word
to the different cities where agents were
employing new men to send no more men.
This is reported to mean that enough of
the strikers have signified their willing
ness to return to again equip the mills.
Mr.. Curry, of the Carnegie Company
said, in reference to this, that the firm
had every reason to expect fully 1900 OF
the old employees to return. He also said
that there were 100 men in the mill to-
day.
1t was stated by the officers of the COM
pany that their action in starting the
Pittsburg mill Monday was no deviation
from their intention all along. They
said they would not begin work in Pitts
burg until the trouble at Homestead was
| over That they started one of these
| mills shows simply that they regarded
| the critical period of the Homestead
trouble to be past.
In the criminal court yesterday the
cases of Anarchists Bauer and Knold
| came up When Attorney Friedman pre-
sented his petition, asking that they be
| admitted to bail, Judge Ewing said:
~ take it for granted that the court
has grounds on which to hold these men,
| but as there is now no possibility of death
resulting, will fix the bail of Bauer and
Knold at IS, 900 each"
| The prisoners remained in the docI
while Attorney Friedman and theil
| friends went in search of bail, which they
after some difficulty secured.
Attorney w. ]. Brennan, for the Anal
gamated Association, presented to Presi-
| dent Judge Ewing the petition he ha6
| prepared for the appointment of volun
tary trade tribunal for the settlement O
| the Homestead strike.
| E. Mollick, the Anarchist baker of Ions
| Branch, N. j., who was brought to thi
| city by Roger O'Mara on charge of com
| plicity in the conspiracy to assassinate H
| G. Prick, had a hearing before Alderman
Gripp yesterday afternoon and was dis
charged, the evidence not being deemed
| sufficient to hold him.
A Pittsburg striker, one of the me1
| who had gone out on the sympathy strike
II can only speak for myself, but 1 am
tired of this sympathetic business. 1 can
not see any reason why we men who hav
no grievance and no complaint to max,
should be obliged to sacrifice our positions
for the people of Homestead. l would b,
glad to see them carry their point, but
cannot see why I should remain idle fol
an indefinite period to help them fight
battle that is now hopelessly lost.
lo to rolo oil TO no
for am under obligations to stand by it
but it is coming to the point where man,
of us are seriously considering whethe
our families have not a greater CLAIM
upon us than the union. I shall conside
the question carefully, and if my con
science will let me l shall apply for worl
to morrow morning"
| These views have been growing NOR
and more general for several days past.
| The company officers said last nigh
that within ten days all the department
would be running on double time.
Supt. Potter denies the story that ther,
is smallpox in the mill. He says there i
physician constantly in the mill, ant
there is sickness of no kind among tn
men. He thinks the smallpox stor
started with two workmen whom he over
heard saying that two men had died o
smallpox and that that man Potter ha
buried them in the mill yard.
