General .snowden and Staff Leave Today
The Militia Have Behaved Well
Thirty-six More Informations
Lodged Against Strikers.

uoIulHS anu Salu Wnen asked that
her husband was away on private
business. He has no commission from
the Amalgamated association or ad-
visory committee as far as could be
learned. Members of the advisory
committee have little to say concern
hg reports that the mill was at work
except that it is very easy to impose
upon person not acquainted with the
subject. The advisory committee is
beginning to notice large number
of workmen absent. At the beginning
of the fight resolution was
adopted that any man who left Home
stead without leave would not be al
lowed to work in the mill after the
fight was over. Yet during the last
week hundreds have gone away and
asa result the watchfulness has been
most decidedly impaired. Yesterday
$50 men went into the mill and few
knew of it until informed by the pa
pers The militia is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the seeming apathy as the men
have come to recognize that so long as
men remain in the works it is impos-
sible to argue with them and induce
them to leave. Camp Black is look
ing rather dreary. Today several
regiments have gone and others are
breaking camp. General Snowden
and his staff will leave
this afternoon. The commanding
officer said that the troops have be-
haved admirably, the discipline being
almost to perfection. He is satisfied
with the showing. 1t is deplorable
indeed that condition exists which
necessitates calling out the state mill
tia every two or three years to sup
press troubles arising out of wage dis
putes. Some other means of settling
<these troubles should be arrived at.
The impression is prevalent among
thAsoldiers who remain that they will
not be kept longer than the end of
next week. They expect settlement
Of the lockout by that time.
MORE INDICTMENTS.
PITTsBURG, July 2S.-Thirty-siX in
formations were made last evening by
Secretary Lovejoy against strikers for
aggravated riot, and warrants were
issued. Seven arrests were made dur
ing the evening, and others will fol-
low. A mass meeting was held at
Duquesne last night, at which First
Vice President Corney of the Amalga-
mated association was present and
made an address. All operatives, in
Guiding day laborers, were ad-
mitted to membership into the
association and the plant is now
more thoroughly organized than
any mill in Western Pennsylvania. 1t
is vet idle and the settlement is peace
full. The transportation department
at Edgar Thompson steel works,
Braddock, struck for higher wages
yesterday afternoon. The men out
are yard trainmen, and have charge
of all freight consigned to and shipped
from the mill. Amaigamated men
claim that as nothing can be shipped
into or from the steel works it will
have to shut down if the transporta-
tiQn department remains out three
lays. In this case the last large
T plant in the Carnegie interests will be
r shut down.
ANARCHISTS FRIGHTENED.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 2S.-Sylvester
Critchlow, one of the strikers charged
with murder on the day of the riot,
applied for release on bail today but
he was refused and remanded to jail
for trial. At the hearing several OF
the witnesses swore that they saw
Critchlow load and fire gun at the
barge. In refusing bail Judge MCGEE
said the case was close to murder In
the first degree. 49,,
Hugh O'Donnell's policy at the time
was peace. This man was for war
and bloodshed. VIM. Close, another
striker, was released on $4,000 bail.
The police authorities say the an
archists have thrown up their hands
and are frightened almost to death.
Those loudest in their claims about
being anarchists have shut up and all
pretend to be peaceful, law abiding
citizens. The police are satisfied there
was an organized plot and expect 10
get at the bottom of it in q few days.
THE NEW SCALE.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 29.-The Car
negie Steel company have prepared a
scale for the Union mills in this city
and Beaver Falls plant which the new
men or those of the former employees
who return to work will be required
to sign. The scale will extend until
January, 1894, and wages will be the
same as paid Amalgamated workmen,,
but no association will be recognized.
Fires have been started in Inc Union
mills and work will probably r, DC
\ resumed in a few days, me
&rikers are quiet and no trouble
is anticipated. At the Homestead
plant the force is steadily being in
creased, nearly 100 new men oelng
sent up today. An associated press
reporter went through the mills thls
afternoon and found fully 700 men at
work. No further information were
made against the Homestead men
and there were no more arrests.
