Homestead strike.


Just now you can hear many aippent
takers discussing the HOMESTEAD strike
and the cause leading to it. In nearly
every instance, rs is usually the case,
the loudest ia'ker is the most ignorant,
and ridiculous reasons are assigned by
them as causes Of the strike The prin-
chile one is that the millionaire owner,
Carnegie, while himself rolling in wealth
has 50 sealed down the wages Of his
work men that the poor fellows cannot
support themselves lndfamili' incomf =,
and further, they say tais condition of
affairs woald not exist but for the in
iquitious tariff law. Those aippant fall
sifers should read the sworn statement,
before a congressional committee, of the
manager of Carnegie's wo:ks, and 2osSi-
bly,, only possibly though. they might
hide their heals because of their igno-
rance, but it is more than probable that
they would brazen it out and declare
that the gentleman's sworn statement
was false, and that the pay roll ftAe firm
had been altered to make a satisfactory
showing for the firm. Mr. Frick, the
manager, stated that about $500 work
men we're employed and that it took
$40, POP 95 to pay them for the month
of May. That the wages of :he men
ran from $40 70 S275 per month that
only about 32S workmen would be afe,-
ted by a change in the scale of prices
, and that they, under the old scale with
the new machi lery added, could make
s. 90 per day whereas without the new
machinery they made only, the highest
5 81 SO. So it appears from, not mer'
e talk, but from the sworn statement Of
o reputable gentleman, that prices wer
= not scaled down ''to starvation rates b,
c the millionaire owners that they nigh
!, roll in the wealth created by the robbie
II tariff" but that the workmen at Home
= stead, although not satisfied, make tn
ii largest wages of any skilled laborers i
Al the world.
