MEN IN HOMESTEAD MILLS.
Some Non-Unionists Do What the Pink
Gnuld Nof.

Some Non-Unionists Do What the Pink
erton Could Not.
HOMESTEAD, July 16.-There is no doubt
that non-union men are inside the gates of
the Carnegie plant. These men entered
the works quietly at an hour when sus-
pcion was stilled and arrangements for
their comfort have been made until
larger force comes to join them. Some of
them are believed to have entered by the
river front while others have come by train
to Homestead and mingled with the peo
pie without exciting suspicion. Their
number cannot be ascertained, but il is
certain that no great body of men such as
would be required to run the works could
have entered the mills without being seen.
Two Mysterious Cases of Smoke.
Smoke seen issuing from the chimneys
of two of the Carnegie mills for short
time yesterday caused the suspicion to be-
come prevalent that non-union men were
in the works This suspicion died out
with the smoke, however, and while
the presence of the latter could
not be explained the workmen
felt confident that the fires from
which it came were not built to start the
mills. Last night more smoke was seen
issuing from what is known as che cupola
chimney and the ca7Ise of this too, re-
mained a mystery. Information on the
subject was not obtalnable from the mill
offices. When the smoke began to issue
from the mills yesterday morning some
workmen who saw it made a dash for one
of the gates and were kept back at the
points of the bayonets of the military
guard.
No Great Mystery About It.
The men who We're supposed to be on
watch must have been very negligent, as
there was really no mystery about the
matter. The Tide came up the river from
Pittsburg yesterday morning and proceed
ed direct to the landing place at the
works. A gang of men were waiting her
and her freight, consistings of cots,
blankets, tents and camp utensils was
unloaded and placed inside the mill proper
ty. There is plenty of room inside the
mill fence to accommodate enough men
to run the works, and it is doubtless the
intention of the company to do this. At
any rate it can do nothing else, for nom
union men could not get a scrap bread in
Homestead This is emphatized by the
fact that all the help at the Carnegie hotel
struck yesterday rather than provide
food for Gen. Snowden and other officers
of the militia.

WARDNER, Ida, July l6.-Three passen-
ger coaches loaded with the non-union
men who We're recently sent out of the
county returned here at p. m. yesterday.
They were escorted by a special train
loaded with regular troops. The trip to
Wardner was uneventful. General Carlin
had 400 troops drawn up around the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills and the
railway station. The strictest martial
law was enforced and there was not the
slightest sign of disturbance while the
non-union men were being unloaded. The
returning Ron-union men were armed
with Winchesters. At the station they
gave up their rifles and marched unarmed
to their destination.
Rigorous Measures Against the Rioters.
Gen. Carlin issued a proclamation call
ing upon all the members of the Miners
union to surrender. He later issued an
other order commanding all the strikers
to be arrested wherever found and dis
armed and imprisoned. He also dispatch
ed searching squads to Fourth of July
canon to hunt for dead bodies. He thinks
that the men who were killed weIe thrown
into the river. When the surrender to
the union rioters took place there were
twenty men of the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mines whof fortified themselves in
the mine. These men were found by the
soldiers greatly exhausted by their contin
ual vigilance. They We're relieved by a COM
pany of soldiers. The, entire working force
of the mine will pick up tools at once and
begin operations in the mine.
Arresting Them Right and Left.
At o'clock the troops began securing
Wardner, bringing in union men and
placing them in confinement in the guard
house at the camp on the ball grounds.
Fred T. Dean, secretary of the union, was
among the first arrested. President
O'Brien was another. At Wallace also it
is reported arrests are being made. The
C9ur d'Alene is virtually in the hands of
the military. Unless the union men COM
NIT some act of violence soon the time for
such conduct will be past. The men at
the mine will be supplied with Winchest-
ers by the owners to protect the property.

The Railways Are Doing Better.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Railroad gross
earnings, as reported to Bradstreet's, ag-
gregated S5S, 10000 in June, s per cent.
more than in that month year ago. The
gain in May this year over last was less
than 3 per cent, and in April less than
per cent, SO that the last month is seen to
have brought distinct improvement, due
for the larger part to granger and eastern
railways. For six months the total gro So
earnings were S259, 500, 0OO also about
per cent. more than in the first half of
1891, during which period the increase
over six months of 1890 was less than s
per cent.

"By II. c. FRICK, Chairman"
IItim at um to the Union NIiIlmen.

:. cretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie
Steel company, said last evening that the
employees at the Twenty ninth and Thirty
third streets Union) mills, now on strike,
had been verbally informed that their fail
Ire to return to work by Monday of next
week would be considered by the firm as
a cancellation of the existing agreement,
and that when those mills do resume it
will be as non-union, and no one will be
treated with in this matter except as indi-
viduals. This ultimatum is final, as is the
one given to the Homestead men.
Defense of These Strikes.
1t has been supposed that the strikes of
the upper and lower Union and Beaver
Falls mills were not lawful, but a clause
in the constitution of the Amalgamated
association gives the necessary authority.
as construed by one of the officials. Sec
tion 20 of the bylaws reads that until the
scale as arranged in convention shall have
been signed By all the departments in
every mill the workmen shall remain
idle; and demands that the scale be signed
by all departments. Consequently, the
strikes at Beaver Falls and the upper and
lower Union mills, while the Homestead
scale has not been signed, are iustifiable,
and the men in those mills will receive
the support of the general officers.

Boycotting Pinkerton's Men.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-It seems to be
the purpose of the congressman to shut
out the hated Pinkertons from any busi-
ness that congress can control. When the
house began the consideration yesterday
of the sundry civil bill there was no
trouble until the provision was reached
appropriating 5000 for special force to
maintain order in the District of Columbia
at the q. A. r. encampment next Septem-
Der. Then O'Neill (Dem.) of Missouri Of
fered an amendment forbidding the en-
ployment of any Pinkerton detectives as
a part of the force. Holman said he hoped
the gentleman would not obstruct the con-
sideration of the bill at this time, and
promised that an opportunity to offer such
an amendment would be given hereafter
With this assurance O'Neill withdrew the
amendment.

Origin of the Arms of Mexico.

The origin of the Mexican coat of arms is
to be found in ancient traditions. The
eagle was the emblem of the primitive
MeNicans. but when Mexican independence
was ovcrthrown by Spanish conquest new
quarteIinGs were introduced, and only so
much Of the original symbols remained rs
would serve to emphasize the glory of the
conque-ors. When independence was re
stored just regard for tradition led to
the rehabilitation of the ancient coat of
arms.
The law OF April, 1923, directed that the
arms should be the Mexican eagle resting
on the left claw on the top of nopal-a
plant Of the genus cactus. The nopal
grows On a rock in the midst of lake.
The Gag e grisps Il serpent in his right claw
and is in the act of tearing it to pieces
with its beak. Two branches. one of lau-
rel and he other of evergreen oak, adorn
these arms. The allegory thus depicted is
explained by the following legend:
