watched the officers come and go, and won
dered why the whole concern didn't move
a trifle faster. Details of police guarded
the sidewalks near the armories and pre
vented the crowds of the curious from block
in:; up the means of ingress. Iu front of the
door of each armory two sentries paced
short beats, with their rifles at "carry."
Soon after noon a rumor went about town
that new orders had been received, and that
the locsl regiments were to go either to
Blairsville or Blairsville Intersection. The
reason of the change of this nobody was
able to understand, and reporters who heard
it hurried to the two Colonels. Colonel
Smith had nothing to say. bnt Colonel
Perchment finally confirmed the report that
Blairsville Intersection had been made the
place of rendezvous.
It was about 3 o'clock when a stir at the
Eighteenth Armory showed that something
was occurring, and Companies C and H
emerged and marched to the Union depot.
It was 5 o'clock when the body of the regi
ment moved and took the cars. Battery B,
after considerable exertion spent in secur
ine a complement ot horses, moved from the
old market house on Fifth avenue at 4:30
o'clock, and took the Fifth avenue ronte to
East Liberty. There they boarded the cars;
the horses and cannons were loaded up, and
they moved east.
General tVylle Arrives on the Scene.
Tho Fourteenth Itegiment did not get
away until nearly 8 o'clock in the evening,
taking cars at the Union depot. Several of
the companies of the Tenth Regiment
passed through the city during the after
noon, and went east on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Colonel Smith, upon the load
ing ot his regiment, placed guards on each
coach door, and strangers were forced to
seek information from the platform.
General Wiley arrived in the city during
the afternoon and took charge of the move
ment ot hU brigade. His staff was not fully
represented as several of its members were
sick. The Brigade Quartermaster, A. J.
Logan; Brigade Inspector, Frank K. Patter
son; Ordnance Officer, Major Samnel
Hailett, of Washington, Pa., and one aid
de camp took dinner with the General at
Union station. Colonel Chambers McKib
ben, Inspector General, carrying a yellow
grip, rubber coat and the latent inspection
orders, awaited the staff of the Governor.
IookInc at thfl Ttors From the Curbs.
The call (or troops and their presence
upon the streets was enough to summon
people irom all parts of the two cities, and
the movements ot the many companies were
watched with great interest. Knots and
groups of men ot all ages and conditions
stood upon street corners and in doorways
discussing the gravity of the situation
while the blue uniformed men marched by
with measured tread.
Comments were many and but slightly
rarying in character. Everybody seemed
acreed that the presence of the 'militia in
Homestead was almost necessary and would
prooanly nave an etiect ot preventing any
turther trouble of a serious character.
"The boys in 'Homestead are sensible
fellows," said one man who passed through
Bimilar trouble ere this, "and will receive
the guards as sensible people should. This
talk of their being ready and anxious to
have a conflict with the soldiers is ridicu
lous. There no necessity for any such thine
and they realize it The militia will be
treated with the respect that is their due as

QUIET ON THE NORTHSIDE.
The Ordering Out of the Blllltla Causes
Bnt Little Excitement In Allegheny
Her Oie Company Responds Very Gal
lantly tu the Call.
The ordering of the State militia to
Homestead caused but little excitement in
Allegheny yesterday. The Nortbside
boasts of but one company. It is Company
E, of the Fourteenth Regiment, commanded
by Captain J. B. Day. He received his
orders about daylight and soon had detach
ments gathering up his men. So successful
was he that when the order to march was
given 63 men were in the ranks. This was
the largest company sent out, by the Four
teenth Itegiment
The company had its headquarters In
Sample's Hall on Federal street All day
long a crowd, varying in size from 100 to
200, thronged the pavements on both sides
of the street It was a quiet, orderly
gathering, and save for a few small boys, no
demonstrations were made. Two sentries
guarded the door and no one but those
having business within were allowed to
enter.
The Scheme Did Not Work.
During the morning two men applied for
admission. They said they were ex-mem
bers of the Guard, but on cross-examination
this proved to be-false. The men were not
arrested, but ordered to beat a hasty retreat,
which they did. A peculiar incident in
connection with the company occurred to
day. The term of enlistment of five of its
members expired at noon yesterday and
they did'not need to go to the front- The
men did not ask to be re-enlisted, but were
satisfied to spend their time in the quietude
of Allegheny City life.
Just as the big clock in Carnegie Library
announced that it was 3:30, the doors of the
headquarters were opened and the men tiled
out onto Federal street When they were
all ont a halt was ordered. Their move
ment had brought the entire populace of
Federal street to the pavements, and the
street for a short time took on some
ot the life of its sister across
the river. Gathered around the
soldier boys were their friends. More than
one gray-haired woman bade her son goodby
with tears glistening in her eyes. At 3:35
Captain Davy gave the order to march, and
at once the ien moved off down the street
amid a chorus ot goodbyi. The line of
march was down Federal street to the Sixth
street bridge, over into Pittsburg and up
market street to the Central Armory.
Troops Passing Throngh Allegheny.
After Company E had left Allegheny th e
crowd dispersed and the city dropped back
to its original self. The only other-troops
passing through the city was Company B,
Tenth "Begiment, of New Brighton, which
went through over the Pittsburg and Ft
Wayne about 3 o'clock. It did not land in
Allegheny, but came on over to Union
depot.
Chief Murphy, of the Allegheny Police
Department, issued orders to have extra
men at all the depots and different parts of
the city. As during the riots of '77 he was
expecting the tougher element of the
country to come in and he wanted to be
able to receive them. Orders were given to
arrest all suspicious individuals and if they
could not give a good account of themselves,
they would be sent up to the workhouse
until affairs quieted down at Homestead.
Up until late in the evening no arrests of
this character had been made.
r
to East Libertr, JfTEre the regi
ment consolidated and with the
battery went to Brinton. The
battery carried four field pieces, two gat
ling guns and 80 men. In the Eighteenth
Bcgiment there are about 800 men. It was
understood that the detachment would later
move to Blairsville Intersection, although
two carloads of ammunition without pro
tection was sidetracked between Brinton
and Braddock.
UNION DEPOT SCENES.
Interested Crowds Gather to Watch the
Arrival or the Boys In Bine Colonel
Hawkins, or the Tenth Itegiment, Talks
on the Situation.
A thousand people thronged about the
Union station yesterday and watched with
open-eyed curiosity

strong. As soon as non-union labor is
brought in I believe there will be trouble,
even if the men have to wait till the sol

IKCBEASES THE PEICE OF FOOD;

City.
The effects of the militia being called ont
were left last evening by the Allegheny
housekeeper who, on his way home from
work, stopped at his butcher's to buy his
supply of meat for supper.
"Tenderloins are 4 cents a pound higher
than Saturday," said the meat purveyor.
"Sirloins and other cuts have jumped up 2
cents a pound, and everything else is from
i to Scents a pound more than it was this
morning. Only rump roasts are the same
price as they were."
"Why is that?" was the natural query.
"Well, the meat costs us more, and we
must charge more for it See this piece
here? I paid 10j cents a pound for that,
and Saturday I could have had it for 9 or
accents."
"Whv has it jumped so suddenly?"
"Well, there is snch a demand "for meat
that we have to give fancy prices for it or
go without and lose our custom. The worst
of jt is we don't know how long this is
going to last There was an order received
at the market this afternoon for 1G.000
pounds to be delivered at Homestead this
evening, ready for the arrival of the troops,
and you ought to have seen the scramble
for meat! Every butcher in town was
caught, lor all had sold out, this being Mon

VOLUNTEERS COKE TOBWAKD,
The Washington Infantry Tenders
Servicta to the Governor.
Captain A. P. Shannon, commanding the
Washington Infantry, wrote yesterday to
Governor Pattisou:
I respectfully tender you the services of
the Washington Infantry under the act of
Assembly, April 13, 1SS7. section ISt. The
command stands ready to uphold the law of
the State, as it has alnays done since 1835.
The act referred to above deals with the
establishment and form of the National
Guard. The section specified reads as fol
lows: Section 131. Xothlng herein contained
lie Will Accompany the National Guard to
riomestead and Summon the Mob to
Disperse If They Befase Military Law
rrevnlls.
Sheriff McCleary remained yesterday in
his office, expecting hourly to receive some
communication from Major General Snow
den concerning the manner in which he
should co-operate with the military authori
ties. He understood that the troops were
to support bim in liis work as peace officer
in protecting the property of the company,
but he was uncertain just when his action
was desired. Early in the day he wired
General Snowden that he was Veady to co
operate with him and awaited his pleasure.
General Snowden replied that he would
communicate fully later in the day, but up
to 4 o'clock the Sheriff had received noth
ing. At that hour the Sheriff said that he
would not go to Homestead until to-day, at
the earliest "What my duties then will
be," he said, "I cannot now say. That is,
I mean that I will act with the military,
but until I have communication with the
higher officers of the National Guard, I
cannot say what my action will be."
During the day the regular iorce of deDU-
ties remained in the Sheriff's office awaiting
any orders to go to Homestead or any point
near there. The Sheriff was visited by a
number of prominent citizens, who talked
with him on the situation. Among those
who called were Chief Murphy, of the Alle
gheny Department of Public Works, and
-Acting Superintendent Glenn. The Sheriff
was evidently greatly relieved bv the lift
ing from his shoulders of the responsibility
of restoring the reign of law in a place
where he was unable to restore it At the
same time he showed that he was plainly
much worn, physically. For four or five
nights he had been up until a late hour
consulting with leading citizens, sending
and receiving telegrams aud watching the
development of events. The emergencies
of the case required that he should be at his
office early each day, and he was many
hours bliort of sleep.
At about 7 o'clock last evenin?he went In
his home on Oakland avenue, where he went
at ouce to bed in order that he might secure
a good rest before going to military head
quarters this morning. As he did not appear
during the evening'at the quarters of the
Tariff Club the report was circulated that he
bad gone to Brinton.
The opinion about the Sheriff's office as to
what duty the Sheriff would be called upon
to perform was that he would be asked to
read, the riot act, and formally call upon the
mob at Homestead to disperse and go to
their homes. If they refuse to obey his
orders he will report to the Major General
that the civil power is unable to secured the
restoration of law. The Sheriff will prob
ably be at Brinton, or wherever headquar
ters may be, early this morning, and act in
conjunction with the National Guard.
THE EIGHTEENTH GOES OUT.

The Eighteenth Eegiment moved to Brin

at 6:30 last night gThe command had been
ready for orderly service early in the morn
ing, but the arrangements had been
shifted several times during the day
and when the boys were pulled away from
the Union station they bad not been In
formed whether they were going to Home
stead direct, to Brinton station, where the
original order directed them to rendezvous,
or to Blairsville Intersection, where the
other regiments were massing to await
orders.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon C Company,
Captain Davis and H Company, Captain
Simmons, left their armory and marched to
the Union station. They were taken on a
special, train to the East Liberty yards,
where they were side-tracked. Battery B,
Lieutenant Colonel Brown commanding,
was taken onto the train there. The

Ootonel Hawkins. stopped. The boys
appeared resolute and there was that alert
ness and activity noticeable in their bear
ings that spoke well for the manliness of
the National Guard of Pennsylvania.
In the waiting-room of the station, men,
women, youths, maidens and children were
gathered, each eager to catch a glimpse of
the uniformed men as they passed through
the strong iron gates.
Arrival o! the Tenth Itegiment
At 4 o'clock, the local train from Wash
ington and Waynesburg steamed into the
depot with two coaches heavily loaded with
troops from the neighboring villages. Cap
tain J. F. Pauley, of Company K. of
Waynesburg, and Captain Barnett, of Com
pany H, were in charge of the 70 odd men,
and were accompanied by Colonel Hawkins,
Lieut-Colonel Stricter, Adjutant Hayes,
surgeon, J. . Ullom; Hospital steward,
G. A. B. Stoy, of the Tenth Eegi
ment, and Major Samuel Haylett of Gen
eral Wylie s stan.
The men were formed into line and
marched over to the armory. Colonel
Hawkins together with his staff and officers
waited about the Union station nearly all
of the afternoon for orders.
Speaking of the seriousness of the situa
tion Colonel Hawkins said the times are
really critical. "I suppose all will be quiet
and orderly in Homestead when we arrive,"
he continued, "but the possibility of this
being an overly sanguine expectation is
well worth considering. The men are all
well drilled and are fully able to meet the
situation, but bloodshed wonld be a deplora
ble thing and I hope from the bottom of my
heart that everything will pass of peace
fully." The Call Wan None Too Soon.
"What do you think of Governor Patti
son's State call tor troops?" asked The
Dispatch man.
"It was the wisest thine that eould have
been done," replied Colonel Hawkins, "but
in my estimation it is an action that should
have been taken many hours before now.
The necessity of the militia at a time such
as this is beyond the vestige of a doubt A
strong hand is needed in critical times, and
the militia is that hand. Every day since
the trouble in Homestead the excitement
has Increased, and the presence of the troops
is a necessity, to say the least"
Surgeon Ullom declared the situation
was grave, and the place of the soldiers was
where the trouble might break out "I am
going with the regiment," he continued,
"with the hopes and expectations of not being
called upon officially at all, but in case wc
are needed, why, we are prepared to care
for the unfortunate ones."
Company F. of the Fourteenth Regiment,
came in from East Liberty over the Penn
sylvania Railroad about 5 o'clock, and re
paired immediately to the armory.
Detectives on Duty at the Union Depot.
A number of police officers and detec
tives were on duty at the Union station last
night and kept the platforms, crates and ex
its free from the crowds that flocked about
the depot throughout the entire day and
night
A squad of "stragglers" from Company
K, of the Tenth, nnder Lieutenant Crago,
came in a short time after the main
body left at 5:30 o'clock and pro
ceeded to make themselves comfortable
in a picturesque way upontGe depot plat
form. Blankets and knapsacks and tin
cups for pillows and caps or tents the
late, robust fellows lolled about, dozed and
whiled away the tedium of the five hours
that elapsed before their departure for the
scene of concentration.
With the boys from Company K was the
somewhat celebrated Chaplain Turner, the
"fighting chaplain" of the Tenth, who
moves about when on duty with a much
worn bible in one hip pocket and a trusty
revolver in tne otner. nis views upou the
situation were that the men at Homestead,
with whom he is in henrtiest sympathy in
their troubles, should not have taken the
law in their own hands quite as much as
they did upon the occasion of the Pinkerton
incursion.
Fifteenth Begiment Comes In.
At 11 o'clock a special train bearing Com
panies A and E, of Erie, and G, ot Charon,
of the Fifteenth Begiment, came in with
Major Crawford in charge. While the
train was passing through Charon a number
of ironworkers gathered about the depot
and became rather turbulent, hissing the
guards and launching epithets upon them.
The movement of the troops in passing
through the city were shrouded in mystery.
None of the officers were aware of their
ultimate destination. Conflicting orders
were borne by those in charge and wildest
rumors were current
Lieutenant Crago was ordered to report at
Badebaugh. Major Crawford to report at
Blairsville and others at different points.
The troops were resigned to the uncertainty
of their destination and speculation had
ceased to be rife when they arrived in Pittsburg.
Three Hundred and Twenty March to the
Depot to the Sound of Martial Mule
Detni's Leave Later to Join Their Begi
ment. William McJohnston, of the Fourteenth
Begiment at Sewickley, received special
orders from the Commander in Chief of the
National Guard early yesterday morning.
Their purport, brief but emphatic, ordered
the march of his regiment to the front The
first train bore the Lieutenant to the armory.
and until nearly noon his detail covered all
the duties ot the regimental commander.
Orders were Issued by him, and the as
sembling of the regiment went on under
his orders.
It was 3 o'clock before the first assembly
was sounded and a roster call of companies
made. At that honr the strength reported
was 40 men per company, and when the
final call was sounded 320 men were loaded
at Union depot carrying each 20 rounds of
cartridges.
Central armory from early dawn nntll
evening was the scene ot entense excite
ment Several hundred curiosity seekers
had'gathered around the old market build
ing to the detriment of the small merchants.
Curses not loud but deep went in waves
over their unfortunate beads. Orders had
been coming in rapidly from early morning,
and the headquarter officers were exhaust
ing tnelr power of delivery.
It was not until 2 o'clock that final orders
were received for the route, and when they
came tne regimental commandant wasted
no time for the movement The regimental
band had been playing from the first assem
bly in the large Atll hall, and when
Colonel Perchmert received his final route
the general assembly was quickly sounded.
There was no time lost, and within 30 min
utes of Its close the regiment had embarked
lor the first rendezvous.
A number of enlisted men of the organ
ization were straggling in at a late hour last
evening. They were irom Company A and
claimed to be detailed to run to the front

not armed with the rifle and military men
would not recognme their right to lift uni
formed stragglers. They should at oncejoln

City The TTorkhonse Tawnlne to Re

A meeting of the police captains was held
yesterday morning at City Hall over which
Chief Brown presided. Superintendent
O'Mara and Assistant Superintendent
Silvis were present and the probability of
trouble, here was discussed. Steps were
taken to prevent any large congregation of
men on the streets, and orders were issned
that the police arrest any man, particularly
a stranger, who might be seen acting sus
piciously in any part of the city.
It is believed" that with the knowledge of
the troops beingsent here, crooks and thieves
from all sections of the country will flock
in here, hoping to take advantage of the ex
citing situation for the purpose of looting,
plundering or otherwise following their
lavoriie pursuits.
Details of police were ordered on duty at
all the railway stations where troops were
leaving or arriving, to prevent disorder in
the crowds and subdue any demonstrations
likely to excite feeling on either side. All
the sub-policemen in the city were ordered
on duty and will be kept on until the ex
citement subsides.
Chief Brown yesterday excused all mem
bers of the fire engine companies and police
force who are members of the National
Guard and they will be free from duty until
after the Homestead trouble is settled.
The men were ordered to report to their
armories. The Chief apprehends no more
bloodshed at Homestead, but thinks there
may be an outbreak of rowdyism if that
element is not closely watched.
' A number of militiamen, while waiting
for orders at their armories yesterday
slipped away to saloons and got drank.
Owen Broadbent, of Company B,-Eighteenth
Begiment, got so hilarious that he was ar
rested at Sixth street and Penn avenue and
taken to Central station. He was unable to
go out with his company.
ON THE S0UTHSIDE.
Tho News of the Governor's Call for Troops
Causes a Sensation Many Mlllmen Pay
a Visit to Horn -stead Parade of a Drum
Corps.
The ordering out of the militia caused
quite a sensation on the Southside yesterday.
The idle workmen from the different mills
filled the street, earnestly discussing the
situation and trying to find a satisfactory
solution to the changed condition of affairs.
The concensus of opinion seemed to be that
no resistance would be offered the State
troops, as such an effort would only result
in injury to their cause. There was a rest
less spirit evident, however, and a desire to
help the strikers in every way possible.
About 11 o'clock a .company of men and
boys started up the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Kail road tracks on their way to
Homestead. The outgoing trains also took
many millmen from about Brownstown.
About 3 o'clock upper Carson street was
thrown Into excitement by the appearance
of a drum corps, followed by a long pro
cession of men and boys. They started on
Sixteenth street and as they proceeded up
town their ranks were rapidly filled, so
that by the time Twenty-eighth street was
reached the procession numbered between
200 and 300. Few of those on their way to
Homestead carried arms of any kind, and
claimed they were simply going as lookers
on. One of the workmen, in speaking of
Homestead, said: 'Trick is working this
strike just as he did the troubles in the coke
regions two years ago, and the men will
BO TB00PS AT BBIHT0N.
Only Two Carloadi of .Ammunition Were
Side-Tracked There.
All was quiet at Brinton yesterday. No
troops stopped there, and the only ones who
waited and watched were a few newspaper
men. The village has not over 100 inhabit
ants and very few houses. The only excuse
for having a station there is that it is the
junction of the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston with the Pennsylvania Central.
From Brinton to Homestead it is only a
run of 15 minutes. The road crosses the
Monongahela just below Duquesne, and the
men could be landed right at the works.
Bight at the station is a flat of several
hundred acres that would make a magnifi
cent camp. a. nine lurtner up mere is an
other large level tract There is plenty of
room mere.
The only excitement during the day was
the arrival there of two carloads of ammu
nition. The munitions of war were al
lowed to lie there on the switch all day un
guarded. If the locked-out men had so de
sired they could have run off every bit of it
No one went near the cars, however, and
they were left standing there long after
nightfall.

now that the military authorities of the
State have undertaken to guard their
property at Homestead. "When the matter
was first broached, he expressed an aversion
to talking upon the subject
"I doubt the advisability of discussing
anything connected with our Interests at
Homestead at the present time," he said.
''The Governor has undertaken to aflord us
protection so that we may be able to
operate our establishment and conduct the
affairs of onr property. I can say this,
however, that we have not changed in the
slightest, any of our original plans. "We
propose to go ahead peaceably and as
quickly as possible in the conduct of our
affairs.
"Yon propose to operate the mill as a
non-union establishment?" was asked.
K'l stated In a previous Interview," he
replied, "that after repeated conferences, In
which we failed to arrive at any amicable
adjustment of the question at issue at Home
stead with the Amalgamated Association,
that we had decided finally to have nothing
more to do with the organization or its offi
cers there. We still adhere to that deter
mination." Workmen Who Will Go Back.
"I think that the publio does not fully
understand that there are many among our
former workmen at Homestead, peaceable,
law-abiding and intelligent men, who are
willing to return to. work upon the terms
which we have proposed. These men, so far as
I have been able to learn, have not partici
pated in the unlawful demonstrations at
Homestead; or, if any of them did, that it
was under stress of fear, from the men who
were agitating a spirit of lawlessness. "We
desire, and we are assured that we will
have, the co-operation and aid of these men
in our efforts to operate the Homestead
mills, when they feel that they are not en
dangering their lives and those of their
families by taking the side of law and
order.
"There has never been the slightest in
tention upon the part of anyone oonnected
with the Carnegie interests to place the
smallest obstacle in the way of the business
prosperity or public peace of the city of
Homestead. All that we desire now, is the
possession of our property and the right, .to
which we are entitled nnder the laws of
Pennsylvania, to manage it as we see fit"
Ko Farther Tronble Desired.
"Do vdu expect to get your establish
ment in operation by the aid of workmen
now residing at Homestead?"
"To a certain extent, yes. It will be
necessary, I have no doubt, to obtain a cer
tain amount of outside labor to fill tbe
places of the men who, as members of the
Amalgamated Association, will refuse to
go to work under our new system, and
whom, in fact, we could not conscientiously
take again into our employ."
"Do you anticipate any further trouble?"
"That is a question which the law-abiding,
intelligent citizens of Homestead must
answer. We sincerely hope that we shall
be enabled to operate our establishment In
peace. Many of tbe citizens of Homestead,
the business men especially, I know dis
countenance disorder."
"How soon do you expect to get the
Homestead mills in operation?"
"Just as soon as possible. Some little
time may elapse, but it will not be long, I
believe, before the entire plant is in opera
tion." "Have you anything to say about the
failure of tho county authorities to furnish
'the protection to your property which you
demanded?"
"I must decline to discuss that ques
tion?" Secretary Lovrjny Agrees With Frick.
Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Com
pany, in speaking of Governor Pattison s
recent action in ordering out tbe National
Guard, said last evening: "We have no
comments to make. No opinion was ex
pressed by the firm during tbe time the
Governor remained 'inactive, and it would
be decidedly unpolitic to say anything now.
Another, thing, the works are entirely out
of our jurisdiction, and will continue so un
til we regain possession of our property.
"When we are again in control we expect
that about 2,000 of our old workmen will
be eager to return to work at
our scale. To such of our
old men as are at present
afraid to utter their true sentiments,
hut are willing to return to work when all
fear is removed, we will give the best posi
tions, so far as they are able to take them.
To this number we will gradually add by
tne introduction ot outsiders; say in squads
of five or six or thereabouts, lust as they
come along. In this nay we will in a short
time have our full complement ofVorkmen,
and then we expect no further trouble."
"Now that the militia has been ordered
to Homestead to preserve peace it will be
comparatively easy to put men in the works
to make the "necessary repairs, which will
be commenced before the week is over.
While the State Guards are there the mal
contents will be in the minority and the
ontside sympathizers will suddenly disap
pear. We are sickf the trouble at" Home
stead, and all we desire is to regain pos
session of our works."
r The Visit or the Committee.
In speaking of the committee of five from
tbe Union Mills who visited General Man
ager Frick vesterdav moraine to im if the v
could not secure the promise of the firm to
reopen negotiations with tne Homestead
men, Secretary- Lovejoy said:
"The committee lent by the workmen of
- ' - ' r , .
Union Mills visited us this morning and.re-
inalned in Mr. Stick a room about lo min
utes. They were kindly received; the entire
committee being employes who have been
in the service of tbe firm for a number of
years. Their arguments for the reopening
of the Homestead conference were listened
togfeut at the end the committeemen were
tola in a polite, but decisive manner,,that
the firm would have nothing farther to do
with the law-breakers."
Several members of the Amalgamated
Association when asked if it was possible
that two-thirds of the Homestead workmen
would return to work when the trouble w
over, as announced by Secretary Lovejoy,
said they were positive that none ot the
men would renounce their allegiance to tbe
Amalgamated and return to work.
"As far as the full complement of work
men being made from outsiders in squads of
five and six is concerned," said one of the
officers of the Association, "that is all folly.
Pickets are on the lookont all over the
country to prevent non-unionists from com
ing here and those that do manage to reach
Homestead will be taken care of by the local
workmen.
Knights of labor In Sympathy.
District Master Workmen H. F. Demp
sev last evening said: "It has been pub
lished that the Knights of Laborare re
luctant to render anv assistance to the
Amalgamated Association in their present
trouble, on account of the differences exist
ing between the two organizations. I must
say that such statements are emphatically
mitrue and they will be rendered all the
assistance possible and upon the same basis
as if they were a part of the Knights of
Labor."
"Whatever differences of opinion may ex
ist between us, the two organizations are
engaged in the common cause of elevating
the laboring man. The call issued for
Wednesday evening's meeting of No. 37,
by the master workmen in the district, at
the headquarters on Third avenue, has been
well responded to and efforts will be made
to show the locked-out workmen they have
more than our sympathy."

DISCUSSING THE BASIS,
v
Belief Expressed That the Iron Masters
and Workers Ato Gradually Approach
ing a Settlement A Largo Pittsburg
Firm Sign the Amalgamated Associa
tion ecale.
Four hours was consumed by the Pitts
burg manufacturers and the Conference
Committee of tbe Amalgamated Association
yesterday afternoon in their discussion of
the wage question. The meeting convened
at 2:30 o'clock and adjourned at 6:30. After
seven conferences the only point npon the
new iron scale agreed to by the .manufact
urers is the memoranda which leads the
wage list
After the meeting one of the wage com
mittee said: "To-day's meeting was de
voted to discussing the" basis of the scale.
No conclusion was reached. Ddring the
many recent conferences with the Pittsburg
manufacturers all the concessions in the
new scale have been made by the Confer
ence Committee of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation. This shows that the workmen are
ready to bave a settlement if they are met
halfway bj the manufacturers, but the lat
ter are trying to make us come down to
their prices. Notwithstanding the differ
ences of opinion between us, however, the
session was a favorable one and the promise
is ultimately that an amicable arrangement
will be made."
At the Amalgamated Associations head
quarters last night it was announced that
one more firm had added their name to the
list of signers of the new scale. The com
pany is Moorhead & McCleane. They
signed for their Soho mills. This firm is
the thirtieth signer of the Western scale of
prices for 1892-3. For several days past
thev have intimated that unless the Pitts
burg manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Association reached an agreement shortly
they would sign the scale as they wanted to
continue business. They affixed their signa
ture to the yearly contract with the under
standing that they were to pay the existing
rates for puddling pending a settlement ot
the iron scale.
In the mills of the firm there are 30 sin
gle puddling fnrnace3, two scrap, six single
and two double heating furnaces, four sheet,
four pair and five annealing furnaces. There
are also 10 trains of rolls, including one
iwhich is capable of rolling 12 inches thick
