WHAT he WITNESSED
A Man Who Visits the Homestead MIL
Makes a Statement

A Man Who Visits the Homestead Mill
Makes Statement.
'T spent several hours in the Homestead
mill, said William Gwin, of Lawrence
vile, yesterday, land during that time I
visited every department IN the plant. I
suppose there were about 500 men and boys
in the mill, the most of whom were sitting
around idle. am sure there are not more
than 25 men at Homestead who ever worked
about rolling mill before. There are
plenty in the mill who object to being kept
in as they are, and would like to come out
but are afraid.
'grhe bosses tell the men that if they
attempt to 60 out the strikers will hurt
them. The majority of the men are so sore
from little work they did that they can
hardly get around. Every other man seems
to be boss or some person in authority. If
they want to make any steel at Home
stead they will have to get other
men, as those now there will never be able
to turn out pound that could be put ON
The market. 1 went there to go to work, as
have been idle for several months, and
would have worked if 1 had found anything
to suit me with fair salary. don't think
I will ever 60 to Homestead again."

seating capacity has all been done within
the past two years. The First ward has
rooms more i than they need; Fourth Fourth wara; SrSi
spare IL rooms; Twelfth ward could dis
pense with 6; the Twenty-fourth ward. I
think, has rooms too many. This tells
the tale Of how the people are rushing for
the East End.
"When the schools were first consolidated,
in 1856 (before that they were individual
ward schools) they had 109 teachers, 6, 724
pupils, and salaries amounting to $40, 600.
The report for this year has not been COM
pleted yet, but in 1891 we had 645 teachers,
80, ,57S pupils and our salary list amounted
to 1881, 900. That will give you some idea
of the great increase in school work"

ASKS CONGRESS TO ACT.
American Mechanic Pass Resolutions Upon
the Present Labor Troubles

American Mechanic Pass Resolutions Upon
the Present Labor Troubles.
Darling Council No. $50, Jr D. U. AM,
has adopted the following resolutions bear
ing upon the dispute between the Carnegie
Company and its employees:
WHEREAS, During the prevailing strike a
foreign assassin has stepped in, in a manner
to interfere with the good name and the
welfare of labor and labor unions.
Resolved, We, the members of Darling
Council No. $50 Jr. o. U. A. NJ. Apollo Pa
and chiefly iron and steel workers, do most
sincerely deplore and positively condemn
such lnwless resort as both damnable and
un-American.
We hereby urge upon manufacturers to
give the preference to the young men of
America and those of their type in the en-
ployment OF skilled workers.
We invite their investigation of the work
ings of leading iron and steel works where
hundreds of American workmen are en-
ployed for evidence of the superior product
of said mills, and also of the cordial rela-
tions that always exist between employer
and employed.
For the defense of American rkingmen
we again urgently press upon Congress the
enaction of more rigid laws against harmful
immigration, and especially such as may
prevent dastardly foreign practices being
directed against the cause of labor and the
stability OF labor unions in this country.

PRESIDENT WEIHE' SPEAKS.

He Discusses tho Labor Situation at Home
stesd-some OF tho Interesting Details
Regarding the Reports He Has Re
oeived From the Carnegie Plant.
contributions to the workingmeD's fund
at Homestead are coming in with rapidity, !"
said President Weihe yesterday, land if
our friends continue to aid us as bountifully
as they have in the past few weeks the
Amalgamated Association need have no
fear for the future.
In speaking further of the affairs at
Homestead, the official said: "While be-
Ieve it possible that the Carnegie Steel
Company have 1000 workmen in their
mill, do not think over 100 of that num-
Der are constantly and actually en-
pIoyed.
'These 100 may be skilled workmen,
while the balance are only there to dis
courage the workmen outside, but in this
they are meeting with poor success, for not
a day passes that we do not receive some
reliable report concerning the outside work.
ing of the plant that gives US much en-
couragement. To show the ine1perience
of the men employed there it is stated on
good authority that this morning when the
furnaces in the open-hearth depart
ment had been tapped, and the
steel run off into the ladle,
the workmen, in trying to move
the ladle to the casting pit, upset 1t,
spilling nearly 25 tons of molten metal upon
the ground. Owing to this accident the
open hearth department was shut down and
number of men are engaged in trying to
gather up the big chunk of metal.
Notwithstanding the report that a num-
Der OF the departments are running we have
reliable information that the only mill
now in operation is the 119-inch plate
mill. This morning at an early
hour one heat was put into the furnace, and
up until noon the workmen were still en-
gagged upon that one heat trying to roll a
plate. If things continue on in this way
long the Carnegie Steel Company must
surely see their mistake. The upsetting OF
% tons of metal is big loss, not only of
time but of money, and where the nom
union men are now making but one or two
heats day the old workmea made as high
as eight.
Recently one of the city papers pub
lished an account stating that Joseph
Broom, Chairman at one of the mass meet
lngs held in Beaver Falls, was no friend to
the workman. He drew $500 per month and
rode to and from the works in a carriage. It
was also stated that he upon more than one
occasion made wild speech against
the Government, monopolies and cap
italists I have just received letter from
several workmen there who say Brown is a
good friend of labor and a highly skilled
mechanic. He holds no position of author
ity in the works there"

LOST IN THE SHUTTLE,


mr. Burleigh Says 1, Won't Be Necessary
70 Take Up the Coroner's Verdict.
District Attorney Burleigh said yester-
day that he would do nothing for the pres
ent with the finding of the Coroner's jury
in the Homestead affair." He couldn't see the
necessity of referring it to the grand jury,
as the wholesale arrests on both sides will
answer the purpose and bring the case be-
fore the court. All interested are watching
developments and the grand jury has
enough 10 go on. 1t is immaterial how the
matter is brought before them. Mr. Bur-
leigh thought the Coroner mentioned no
names in the verdict for the reasons given
above. Those that probably would have
been mentioned nave already been arrested.
1t has not been decided who will try the
cases. John F. Cox says the Carnegie of
fcials will be heard in Common Pleas No.

appear Mr. Lovejoy stated that the
trouble in the morning at Duquesne was
caused by Homestead men interfering with
old employees who were returning to work.
Warrants Tor II, charging aggravated riot,
were issued, and the Secretary expected to
see them in Jail this morning.
Mr.. Lovejoy said they now have 300
men at work in Homestead. He denied
that valuable machinery had been broken
in the mill as a result of the 1ncompetency
of the new hands. He says in short time
all the departments will be running in full
Superintendent Dillon reported satisfactory
progress in the Tnirty-third street mill.
Mr.. Lovejoy claims the Duquesne mill will
be running in full BY next Monday. No
effort has been made to start the Beaver
Falls and Twenty-ninth street mills.

Struck Him Over the Head.

Jacob Vassan is lying in critical condi-
tion at his home 81 sawmill alley, ALLIE
gheny, from the effects of q blow over the
head, which he alleges Lawrence Grubb
dealt him and it is alleged that, during a
quarrel Wednesday, Grubbs grasped an iron
bar and struck V assam a crushing blow over
the head. The injury did not appear seri-
Gus at the time, and after having his wound
dressed Vassan went before Alderman Kerr
and made an information against Grubbs,
charging him with aggravated assault and
battery. Grubbs was arrested and in de-
fault of s., 900 bail was committed to Jail to
await a hearing.

WATCHING THE TIDE.

Tho Police Disperse the Crowd Assembled
on the Monongahela Wharf,
The demonstrations of the crowd at

the Tide were more pronounced than ever
yesterday. Heretofore little was done or
said to attract attention, and the men were
allowed to leave for Homestead without in
reference. 1t was different yesterday.
The crowd was larger than usual,
and when the men came down to
take passage they were jeered and hooted.
1t was claimed that number of the re-
cruits deserted the boat about the time it
lie t, and were said to have even left in

Foolish Mothers.
From the American AnoIvst
European marriage brokers are constant
ly besieged with requests for introductions
to such rich American orphans, particularly
from insolent young officers, and it is not
unlikely that at least eighty of the ninety
three officers mentioned by the great Berlin
bureau made known their wants on the
condition that only Americans need apply.
The game between the agent and the
boarding house keeper is simple. He goes
to her with the inquiry whether sho has, or
will have soon, young American women In
her house. The answer is invariably
affirmative. for every boarding house
keeper catches an American girl sooner or
later.
The agent then explains his errand, gives
his military customer gilt edged title,
character and so on, and agrees TO give the
woman S31 & per cent. of his commission in
case their united efforts accomplish the
match in question. This commission is
regulated according to the size Of the
American girls dowry. A case without a
dowry is not on record, for dowry is the
sine qua non of the whole affair. The
housekeeper's duties are slmnly to fiud out
all about the American girls property and
family. g. are therefore not ouerous. for
she would exert herself to get this inf0rma-
ton for her own private satisfaction, any-
how.
