been forced to close for want OF ma

not as yet been deprived of any

if the fight should last several
weeks there is no dahget OF the

subscriptions have been Corning III lib
crazy, and the relief work has beer cs'5
ried on well. Every da3 people come

orders for provisions. The funds a.
ready collected will hold out for some
time, and the men are not IN fear OF
suffering for plenty to eat.
The second month of the strike opens
rather dscouragingl?, so far as the
locked-out men are concerned, though
they do not admit it. and express as
great confidence III ultimate victory as
ever. On the aHtk ST june
1000 men having hettt locked

patty. and only a few watchmen were
left around the plant. To-day there are
725 men IN the mill and the firm claims

lockout are being felt in the town. to
day a constable closed a grocery store,
the proprietor having decided 10 90 out
of business, owing to his Inability to
carry on an extensive credit business.
\ number Of merchants, while in SYM
patty with the locked>out men, are
getting up a plan whereby they Will not
give credit, but will sell at cost to'al the
men. The relief committee. which has
charge OF all poorer paid laboretB, has
many demands upon it. and the long
line Of persons asking assistance grows
larger, The non-unlon men are begin
ming to receive an astonishing number
of threatening letters. The following is
6 sample.
HOMESTEAD. July 29-All non-union
men desiring to leave Carncgie's works
Will be provided for by the union men of
Homestead. But all who stay at work will
seek their God. All are being spotted.
Beware,
The firm has told the men that they
can leave if they wish, according 10 the
statement of II. NJ Curry. He added:
"None are afraid though, and the story
OF the men being prisoners is not true"
Anarchists will make an effort this
afternoon to get the men bailed out
who are in jail Paul Eckert said they
could easily raise 5000 TO bail
the imprisoned Anarchists. There
are 500 Anarchists in Allegheny,
many of them small property holders,
he said, and they would take care of
their friends. Eckert stated further
that Frick had done more to help their
cause along than all The cIrcu-
lars and tracts they could have
published. Her Most, he said
was brave man. and the dav would
come when he would be honOred by all
the wOrkingmen of the country. Mol
lick, the man arrested at Long Branch,
is still in Jail. He has Sc
cured Henry Meyer, a prominent
attorney here, as counsel. All is quiet
o-day about Carnegie's city mills and at
Duquesne and Beaver Falls. Mr..
Frlck continues to recover. He eats
we'll, is in good spirits, and his general
condition is satisfactory.
