THE HOMESTEAD PLANT
Worked as Usual Last Night, the
Strike Not Being Declared.
BOTH THE AMALGAMATED
TRADES AND THE GENERAL
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
WORKS ANNOUNCE THEIR SAT-
ISFACTION WITH THE SITUA-
TION-THE SITUATION AT
OTHER MILLS is PRACTICALLY
UNCHANGED.

PITTSBURG, PA, July 2.-The strike
at the Homestead plant of the Carnegie
company, which was expected to as
sumo large proportions tonight, did
not materialize in a degree apprecia-
BILE to the initiated.
The following statements were made
by the leaders of both sides. and the
public is left to take its choice:
+. M. Shaffer. who represents the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers, said:
1--WE are satisfied with the results OF
to-day; we have made progress; there
have been no disturbances and the
Amalgamated men who are making the
fight feel much encouraged. There
have been many accession to our ranks,
and the fight for the recognition OF
unionism can be said to be well
started"
Gen. Supt. w. B. Corey, of the Home
stead plants of the Carnegie Com
pany, had this to say:
"We are operating our plants with
the usual forces. There are as many
men at work in the mills as there us
ually are on Sunday nights. The men
not in the mills are those that have
been discharged"
Both statements were made after the
men had reported for duty and the
work of the night was well under
way.
Newspaper men were escorted
through the mills tonight for the pur-
pose of giving them ocular proof that
all departments were in operation. To
the reporters every branch seemed to
be working to the limit.
Both sides claim to be satisfied, the
company because it feels assured that
the attempted strike is a failure; the
association because it has gained many
new members. and expects to secure
many more during the Fourth of July
holiday.
The situation at the mills of Spang,
Chalfant & Company at Etna, and Moore
head Bros. & Company, at Sharpsburg,
remains unchanged. The clash that has
been looked for between the strikers and
new men has been averted and the trouble
between the firms and their old employees
will be allowed to settle itself.
George Heckel. chairman of the Etna
Lodge of the Amalgamated, says the firm
offered to pay the highest Amalgamated
scale, but refused to recognize the Asso-
citation. The men, he says, are well or
ganized and will stand firm for recognition
until the trouble is adjusted. He claims
that 500 men from the pudding depart
ment who went out on Saturday have po-
sitions offered them in other places, which
they will accept by the end of the week,
unless the firm signs the scale.
Thomas Lynch, a prominent leader of
the Moorehead strikers, says the condi-
tons at Sharpsburg are practically the
same as at Etna and the men will give
the firm until Wednesday to aceede to
their demands. He declares that under
the present demand for skilled labor, it
will be impossible for the firm to fill the
strikers places.
No new signatures to the A~malgamated
scale were reported at headquarters to-
day.

NO GENERAL STRIKE
or Chicago Packing House Employees viii
Take Place at Present.

oaN Will
Take Place at Present.
CHICAGO, July 2.-There will be no
general strike of packing house en-
ployes at present. The opinion pre-
walls at to-day's mass meeting of the
employees that the time was not yet
ripe and that the interests of the men
would be best conserved by waiting
until an organization could be perfect
ed. The first move in that direction
was made at the mass meeting. An or
ganization known as the Packing House
Employees Union was formed and over
500 became members. By September the
union is expected to have a membership
of $4,000, and if by that time the de-
mands of the men for better working
hours and increased wages are not COM
piled with, a general tie-up of the pack
ing houses would be ordered.

SANTIAGo'S TRADE.
General Woods Report Shows 1t Is on
the Increase,

the Increase.
Washington, Jan. 10. The trade OF
Santiago is already showing a surpris-
ing growth under American admins
tration. General Wood has submitted
report to the war department, in
which he states that the policy of nom
discriminative intercourse extended to
the vessels OF all nations in Santiago
province has greatly facilitated the re-
establishment of commercial relations
and has been one OF the chief features
in the restoration of comparative pros
perity in commerce, industry and agri-
culture.
Outward cargoes OF sugar and other
products are being gradually found for
shipping, but expectations from the
mines OF the province have contributed
the bulk of the exports.
''The fact" says General Wood.
"that the mines were put into opera.
tion at an early date after the capitula-
tion of Santiago was important in
that the employment of large mum bers
of natives during critical period was
stimulated by the facilities for ship
ping Ores"
The division of customs and insular
affairs of the war department has re-
ceived from the collector of customs at
Havana, Colonel Lasker, H. Bliss, un-
der date of December 30, 1898, his re-
port.
Colonel Bliss says that the first seri-
GUS embarrassment he met with on TAX
ing charge of the custom house at Ha-
vana was caused by the fact that the
Spaniards had removed nearly every
thing except the bare walls and floors.
is first official step was to obtain a full
list of employees in the custom house,
their salaries and nationality, and next
information as to their general charao-
ter and reputation for integrity.
Colonel Bliss says that, as was to be
expected, the several places in the GUS
tom house when he assumed charge
were chiefly held by spaniards, the to-
tai number employed being 239. The
problem that confronts him, he says,
is how to repair house from founda-
tion to roof without material disturb
ance of it occupants and without in
terfering with their daily busine SIS.
Under this condition. he remarks, he
cannot Of course begin by tearing the
house down.

THE WESTON SCANDAL.

The many friends of Superintendent
Stathers of the Weston asylum. trust
that he will be able to show his inno-
cence of the grave charges against him
and to this end, to say nothing of the
demands of decency and justice, it is
required that the investigation be
free from suspicion of bias, unfairness,
or fayoritism. Already there has been
enough of this to cast suspicion upon
the proceedings, and the verdict of the
board will be nullifed in the popular
estimation by any attempt to put OBJ
stacles in the way of the prosecution
and the presentation of its evidence,
since it will naturally be construed as
a practical admission that the case OF
the defense will not stand the test.
While Dr. Stathers's friends trust
he may be vindicated this must
be done honestly and fairly. Anything
less than this, or any attempt to white
wash the defense, will be grossly un-
fair to Dr.. Stathers since it will prove
bias on the part of the court and will
be universally regarded, we repeat, as
a confession that the case of the de-
tense will not bear the full light Of
the evidence in a fair trial. And an
acquittal under such circumstances
would not be satisfactory to either the
people or DR.. Stathers.
