HOMESTEAD, Pa, January g.
The trouble last night at the Homo.
stead Steel Works of tho Carnegie
Company vas caused more par
ticularly on account of a number OF
Hungarians having been assigned to
that department than 1t was by the
reduced wage scale. The regular
crew in the l19 inch mill refused to
work with the Hungarians and quit.
The fact remains, however, that
n of the men was able to carr
but GO cents and u cents for their
days work. This was because the
mill was not worked to its capacity
aud not on account Of fault in the
wage scale.
s@sIhis morning the $50 men com
prising the day crew in the l19 inch
mill also quit work. Supt. Schwab
met the strikers, and after guarau-
teeing certain wages for the rest of
the week, whether or not the mill
was worked to its capacity, the men
returned to work. 1T is understood
that the same proposal was submit
ted to the men who quit work last
night and that in oil probability
they Will 60 to work to night.
There are no indications that the
trouble will Involve other depart

The Council vacancy was men
toned, but the matter was contin-
ued. Although not passed on Of
hcially there seems to be u concen
sus of opinion among tho present
oouncllmen to postpone the election
indefinitely, as there will only be
four more regular meetings after
to night, before tho semi annual
election of the entire body, and as
the law 10 not mandatory on that
point 1t seems probable that the va,
