to tbe fact that repairs had not been made
before the fires went out.
Everything needs a general cleaning
up, and even with men a long
delav must ensue before the mill would be
in running order. Furthermore it was
stated that it would be necessary for many
of the old armor plate mill men to return
before any headway could be made there.
They alone understand the machinery, and
months must elapse before new men could
be trained to work. The men added very
confidently, however, that'the firm expected
many ol the old men to return to work, and
that the company had a surprise in store
for their old employes in a few days.
A tour of the rest of the plant was com
paratively uninteresting. Men were work
ing everywhere in squads of tens and
twenties. They were chiefly carpenters and
laborers, however, with a few railroad men
who started the dinkies and big engine yes
terday for the first time. Altogether the
best figures obtainable showed there were
pieeent and working in-ihe mill yesterday
afternoon nearly 250 men, including cleats.
Store Men Will Be Sent This Morning.
This number will be augmented this
morning. At 9 o'clock in the morning the
Tide will leave the foot of Smithfield street
with 65 non-unionists. AVhile lazily re
turning to the boat, after inspect
ing the mill and talking to workers
and militia men, a belated policeman
hurried up to The Dispatcit representa
tive, and informed him he was wanted at
the offices. Having been arrested by locked
out men, it was only fair that the Carnecie
firm might have its turn, so the officer was
accompanied w ith some reluctance. Super
intendent Potter and Sir. Otis Childs acted
as the committee in thU case, and the
unfortunate prisoner was put through
a series of questions, which were mostly
unanswered. Mr. Cliilds stated that it was
louud necessary to refuse admission to any
and all newsp'aper men. "Our experience
has been," said the bright and decidedly
nervous gentleman, "that certain news
papers have it in lor the company
and are bound somehow to give us the
worst of their reports. They persistently
underrate the number of men here at work.
I do not care to be discourteous," said Mr.
Childs, "hut there are some things we pre
fer to keep to ourselves."
It was evident that a grave infraction of
the rules had been made in a stranger being
permitted to enter the jealously guarded
armor plate mill, and Superintendent Potter
immediately ordered five newguards placed
in that portion of the works last night
These guards were not taken lroni the many
militiamen present, but were ordered sent
up from Pittsburg after being regularly
sworn in by the Sheriff.
Fen- Mm Working In Lawrenceville.
"Within the last 24 hours but little has
transpired to denote any change in the gen
eral condition of affairs" at the Upper and
Lower Union mills at Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-third streets. The noise ot machinery
is audible enough on the outside and smoke
may be seen issuing from the various de
partments of the mills, all of which goes to
show that the company means to keep up
some show of work. On the outside are
knots and squads of strikers, here and there,
ready to hail anyone and everyone
who looks as though lie wanted to go to
work. The mills are virtually surrounded
by a picket line of strikers, and while they
are not making use of physical force to keep
anyone away, their vehement eloquence and
unpolished logic is more than the ordinary
non-union men could resist.
The strikers have organized a permanent
advisory board with headquarters at Butler
street and Penn avenue. The board met at
9 o'clock yesterday morning to hear reports
from the 'various committees appointed and
remained in session until 11 o'clock. An
other meeting was held in the afternoon at
which the general situation n as discussed
and the receiving of reports continued.
Strikers Not Alter Free Beer.
It was reported to the Advisory Board
that several saloon keepers in that part of
town had been showing their friendship for
organized labor by furnishing beer for the
strikers free of charge. The board passed
a resolution requesting the saloon keepers
not to furnish any more beer free, and sent
a committee to notify vhem.
Speaking of the situation, a member of
the Press Committee said: "Every man is
determined to win, ana as certain as deter
mined." "But what if non-union men are put into
the mills?" asked the reporter.
"If possible, we will persuade them not
to work, but, after all, our success depends
upon the fact that the company cannot run
the mills with ncn-union men. The offi
cials expect us to go back to work, but we
will never do it never until the company
recognizes the Amalgamated Association.
"We are not striking lor wages, but to secure
jnstice to brother wagenorkers."
The Prees Committee expressed a desire
to deny the story published in some of the
papers" yesterday morning to the' effect that
John McCoy aud Frank Martin led 500
strikers up and down the banks of the Alle
gheny in search ot non-union men.
"When one of the strikers who was doing
guard duty on the outside of the mill on
Twenty-ninth street was asked what he
had to say in regard to the report that the
strikers hadJlrivenoffoO non-union men who
wanted to work. he replied: "There has
been no conflict between non-union
men and us. In fact, no mechanics have
applied here for work since the strike.
There were a few day-laborers here'who
wanted employment, but they were not
mechanics and the company did not want
them."
A laboring man who was out of work ar
rived in Pittsburg yesterday and called at
the Union Mills. He gives the following
account of his adventure:
"I was walking toward the works on
Thirty-third street, and when I reached the
railroad I was stopped by a crowd of men
who asEed where I was going. I replied
that I was going to see if I could get work
in the mill.whereupdh they informed me that
there was a strike on and that I had better
stay away, adding that if I was in needy
circumstances they would provide for me.
After they learned" that I was not a skilled
workman, however, they manifested less
interest and did not try to prevent my
entering the works.
"The watchman, or gatekeeper, allowed
me to pass when he knew my business, and
I entered the machine shop, where I met
one of the foremen, who said they were em
ploying puddlcrs and other skilled work
men, but no men who knew nothing about
the work.
Not a Fnrnace In Operation.
'1 walked about through the works with
out anyone objecting. The machine shop
was running, and so were the bumper shop
and foundry, but not in full blast. About
half the drill lathes and drill presses
seemed to be running. The puddling de
partment was silent. The gas was flicker
ing in every furnace, but no work was being
done and nobody was there to do.any work.
"Leaving there, I went to the worts on
Twenty-ninth street, I was confronted by
six or eight strikers near the gate,
who advised me not to go to
work, saying they were striking for
justice, and no 'square man would help to
defeat them under the circumstances. I
went on, however, and passed two watch
men, one of whom said something to me
which I did not understand, as he spoke
poor English. lie seemed excited because
I passed. I hurried on and was just enter
ing the puddling department, when a po
liceman politely tapped me on the shoulder,
and, in spite ot earnest apologies and ex
planations, ushered me out beyond the
gates.
"This mill, like the other, is only nom
inally in operation. There seems to be
nothing going on in the puddling depart
ment, though the gas is burning. Some of
ihe other departments are partly in opera
tion. I saw about 100 men, and would
suppose there are 150 or 175 men working."
Carpenters Indorse the Iiockrd-Ont Men.
Tuesday night the District Council of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, representing 31 local unions,
passed resolutions indorsing the action of
the Homestead workmen. The resolntions
denounced the firm and recommended the
return to Andrew Carnegie of his free
library gift The District Council also
pledged its assistance.
THE BESTTO DATE,
largest Crowd in the History
of tlie Homewood Track
at the Opening
OF THE CIRCUIT EACES.
People Treated to Fair Weather and
Very Exciting Sport.
DAKDI WINS IN THE 2:19 CLASS.
Illinois Egbert Trots the Fastest Heat Made
This Tear.
E1TEN AND JOE JETTS ALSO TICT0ES
The managers of the Homewood Driving
Park had better luck yesterday. The sun
peeped from behind the clouds early in the
morning, lifting a load of financial suspense
from their shoulders and drying up the
water Tn the track aud in the grass. It
can't rain forever, even if it did pour down
for 40 days and nights at a clip at
one time in the history of the
world. The bright sunshine and clear,
refreshing air gladdened the hearts
of the lovers of fast trotting and pacing, and
to the number of 4,000 or more they turned
out, filling the grand stands and leaving the
ever welcome silver at the gate.
It was the largest opening day crowd in
the history of the association, and poor
Lem Ullman, who was short of programmes,
was the picture of distress as he counted up
what he had lost as a result of his miscalcu
lation. "Why, I have been coming to Pitts
burg for years," he explained to Secretary
McCracken and some of the boys, "but this
attendance on the first day beats me. My
programmes gave out before the people
were half herer and then there was wailing
and kicking from the disappointed ones.
"Wei!, I'll keep the printing presses going
all night, and I'll wager that I won't be left
this way to-morrow."
It Made Illm Very Sad.
"That's right, Lem," responded Mc
Cracken. "Think of what you have dropped
to-day," and as the sad thought reverber-
Coming Into tlie Stretch.
ated through the labyrinths of his cranium,
Ullman turned his face to the wall and
wept. There will be plenty of programmes
this afternoon.
Goodness knows, nobody begrudges the
backers of the Homewood track the money
they receive, for no set of men are more de
serving of success, and few have ever
worked under more discouraging circum
stances. The storm king hoodooed them on
Tuesday, and forced a postponement of the
races, much to the keen disappointment of
many. A kind providence, however, bot
tled up J. Pluvius yesterday, and he re
tired to the cave of Neptune beneath the
sea. where he belongs when a horserace or
circus is on the carpet.
The crowd commenced to arrive abont
noon, and the first .race was called at 1:30.
The territory outside of the park was lined
with horses and vehicles of all kinds. The
scene resembled some county fair on the
leading day, or a country church on the
morning of a love feast. Inside an agree
able change was made for the benefit of
people in carriages. An iron railing has
been erected parallel with the track and
near the starting point, where horses can be
tied. Those who drove to the grounds
could sit in their carriages and see the
races without disturbing themselves. But
nobody goes to a race to stop in one place.
Howled for the Victors.
The audience moved around restlessly
and cheered for the winning horse in an ex
citing finish. The hacks running from the
railway station to the park did a Fourth of
July business, and a seat in the lumbering
conveyances was often at a preminm. The
streets, as usual, leading to the track are'
badly torn up. This year somebody is bury
ing wires, and last season the Duquesne
line obstructed the highway and compelled
the drivers to take to the alleys. The same
state of affairs exists now, except that it is
worse than in former vears.
Some of the old horses and a great many
new ones greeted the audience. The track
was in good condition and the same crowd
of driversand stable men lingered around
the judges' stand, and talked horse until the
weary listeners could see fiery steeds in the
air whenever they looked. If this stable
lore and inside knowledge could be put in a
volume, it would make an interesting but
disjointed thesis on the horse, his tribula
tions and triumphs. A few of the old
familiar faces in the list of drivers were
absent. Giers with his fixed jaws and
handling the reins behind Hal Pointer was
not there, and those who have not for
gotten poor Jim Goldsmith, gentle
man James as the boys called
him, missed him and '"his string
of fast trotters. He didn't drive in many
races in 1891, and the last time he appeared
on the Homewood track, about a year ago,
the hectic flush was on his cheek, and lie
was well wrapped up, as if he were cold,
though the weather was hot. He was dying
on his feet, and was laid in the grave a short
time afterward. A race at Homewood
would be sadly out of joint without the
veteran Turner in the sulky.
Hard to Beat Turner.
His gray mustache had been carefully
waxed yesterday, and he again demon
strated that he is a great general and up to
all the tricks in the business. Splann is
well known here also and is much thought
of for his skill
All the admirers of horseflesh, in the city,
to be sure, were out at the park. Mayor
Gourley took up his accustomed place on a
chair near the clubhouse door, where he
watched the races with as much interest as
the man who had several hundred dollars at
stake. So many detectives and police offi
cers in citizens' clothes were noticed
in the crowd that even the uninitated
knew that such a large force was
not necessary to guard against possible
pickpockets and thieves. Charles J. Clarke
aud Harry Darlington sat on the clubhouse
porch and discussed the good points of a
horse with Mayor Gourley like two veterans.
Nearb"y were J. K. Lanahan and J. M.
Montgomery, manager ot the Monon
gahela House. Colonel Boycr, Captain
W. W. O'Neil, Special Agent
Hampton Houghton, of the Pennsylvania
road, Coroner McDowell, Harry Ulam and
the tall form of Dr. Barchfield were noticed
in the crowd. Glorious old Tom Marshall
laid aside his criminal court coat for the

day, unable to resist the seductive charms
of a horse race. He enjoyed the sport like
a thoroughbred, and said it did him good, to
see the spirited animals speeding around
the course.
Mistaken for General Snowden.
. A man with eye glasses ttnd wearing a
heavy mustache stood watching the antics
of the pool sellers. Somebody who had
seen General Snowden's picture in The
Dispatch declared it was the commander
of the troops at Homestead, but this was
a mistake. Governor Pattison has con
sented to attend the races Friday afternoon,
and he will no doubt be accompanied by
General Snowden and his staff. A number
of bluecoats, however, mingled in the
throng and added to the novelty of the
meeting.
Jovial and rotund Al Carlisle was a con
spicuous figure, and between the beats he
tried to convince a number of Beoublioans
that Cleveland would carry Ohio this fall.
But the ladies in the crowd must not be
overlooked. The grandstand was full of
them. So manv women were never seen at
a race in Pittsburg before, and it shows if
the v are properly conducted that the fair sex
will attend. The ladies enjoyed the fast
trotting as mnch as the men, and their flut
tering handkerchiefs in honor of some horse
and driver-testified to their appreciation.
ZThe large attendance nonplussed the
croakers, who were afraid the labor troubles
in a few mills would keep the people away.
It proves conclusively that the strikers
only aflect a small section of the city.

birch beer and other pleasant and
harmless drinks. Adam is a very patriotic
citizen, and not wishing to give offense to
anybody he unfurled the Stars and Stripes,
the Union Jack and the German and Irish

dome of the clubhouse and spread its am
ple folds above the others. The Union
Jack waved on top of the grandstand on the
right and the Irisn flag could be seen on the
roof of the stand on the left
Some changes have been made to the
buildings. The old entrance has been aban
doned, and a new one made to the right of
the park. It proved too small for the
crowd yesterday, and at times the fam
around the gates was very unpleasant Pro

outside. This will be done to-day. The band

SOME GREAT RACING.
Favorites Are Downed at Homewood In
th- Most Exciting Manner Dandy V Ins
a Most Desperate and Plucky Contest
The Quickest Heat ot the Tiar Trotted
Joe Jetts Also a Good Winner.
"Thoy weie great races." That's what
everyone of the 5,000 people at Homewood
Park said last evening after Dandv had won
the last race. And they were jrreat races
and no mistake. There has never been such
an opening dav in Pittsburg as that of yes
terday. The crowd was a big one and ex
tremely enthusiastic; speculation was extra
ordinarily heavj-; the track was fast and the
racing was the closest and most exciting
there has been seen here foryeats.
The real favorites weie downed but not
until the most desperate battles had taken
place. At various stages bookies cot it vio
Icntlv "in the eye" on heats and Pittsbunr
ors gen erallv were big winners on Dandy.
Altogether there was certainly lots of fun
and excitement.
Three Very lively Events.
There were three events on the card. The
Haven won the first, the 2:29 trot. In three
straight heats quite handily. Dirigo was
backed well for tho race but as it was his
first attempt lie did not show stamina
enough. The Eaven conld evidenly have
gone faster had ho been pushed more. He
came here with a mark of lOffyi. made last
week at Oswego, N. T., and ot course low
ered his mark. He is by Elial G., he by
Aberdeen.
The second event, the Glass Manufactur
ers' stakes for 2:35 pacers, saw the downfall
of tho bij favorite Kebus. lie went baaly,
and the Jndges anxious to have everything
all right took Ed Odell down troin behind
him and put up W. Evans. This was In the
fourth heat. The horse went a little better,
but conld not win a heat. He hadn't recov
ered from his recent race at Philadelphia.
Joe .Tett won the race by good came pacing.
Ho had to fight hard lor it with Atlantic
King, but Joo out stayed the King and won
the race and for his supporters lots or money.
Joe Jetts Is a -yeai-old gelding by Billy
Wilkes, which accounts for his eanieness.
He came here w ith a record of 2.20 made
last week at Point Breeze.
The Tllg Event of tho Day.
Tho great race or the day was tho 2:19 trot.
The talent had Illinois Egbert ns a sure
thing, and there was some tall plunging on
the race. The Fittsburgers kept plunging
away on Dandy; the lucky and plucky
Dandy. Every Inch or the five mllos trotted
in the race was contested, and the battle
royal between Dandy, Sadie 31 and Egbert
will not readily be forgotten. When Illinois
Egbert won the second bent in 2:16. the
quickest neat trotted this year, everybody
who had money on him thought it as sate
as wheat in'the inilL But the fast heat In-
lured his chances. The mare and the stal
lion stuck to blm and completely trotted
him to a standstill. Dandy won the race by
sheer gameness, and to defeat a trotter like
Sadie SI in such a tough contest was a great
performance. Dandy has only been 30 days
from the stud, and it is reasonable to expect
that she will win more races thi season.
T. Wood Martin, as starter, did very well,
indeed. Ho is an able man. The other
judges were: W. A. Hatfield, Grant Drum,
and J. I Wright was clerk.
Haven Won Qnlte Handily.
The sun was shining brightly when the
bell rang for the first race, the 2:29 trot.
Pool selling was extremely lively for fully
nn hour before the first heat started. Dirigo
sold heavily against tho field at $50 for the
field and $25 for Dirigo. In the books
DIri xo was 2 to 1 and Raven the same price,
SenatorK and Nellie each 3 lo 1. and the
balance from 7 to 15 to 1. Tho starters and
their positions wore: Dirigo, pole; Hose
Filkins, second: Nellie K. third; Wicklow
Boy. fonrth; Senator K, fifth; White Flag,
sixth; Kobert K, seventh: Peter K, eighth;
Haven, ninth; Lenox, tenth; Earl's Lad, elev
enth: Llnkwood Chief, twelfth; Susio C, thir
teenth. The horses were sent away at the first
score. Senator K went to the front, going to
the quarter with Haven at his wheel. Dirigo
and White Flag were third and fourth. The
balance were scattered. The two leaders
made a good race home, Eaven winning
liunrlllvbva half length. Dirigo was third
liv two lengths, and a length In front of
White Flag. Time, 235.
Eaven sold at 1 to 2 against the field before
the second heat started. He took the lead
at the word, and there was r good race be
tween him, Rose Filkins and Dirigo. Filkins
broke in the back stretch and Dirigo went
into second place. Entering the stretch
Dirigo and Hose Filkins made a big effort.
The uiare passed Dirigo, but could not get
on eVen terms with Eaven, who won handily
by a good length. Time, 2:23.
Haven led from start to finish in the third
heat, and won the beat and race easily by a
length and a half from Hose Filkins, who
was a length in front of Dirigo. Time. 2.25.

was a hot favorite for tho race, and for the
heat the betting was 4 to 5 on Rebus, 5 to S
each against Atlantio King and Hal Braden,
and 6 to 2 against Joe Jetts. Thero was a very
large amount of public money on Jetts for
th bent, he being backed down from 10 to 1
to 3 to 1. The heat was a good one. Atlantic
King went away witli the lead, Hal Braden
and Joo Jetts being close up. These three
made tho race for the heat. The King led
into the stretch, when Hal Braden got up to
his wheel. Jetts made an effort near the
wire and passed Hal Braden, who went up.
The finish between 'Jetts and Atlantic King
was exciting. Botli drivers were whipping,
an Jetts won at the wire by a neck. Time,

IN HASTE TO LEATE.
Efforts of the WinrJow Glass Dele
gates to Adjourn Early.
ACT ON VITAL MEASURES ONLY.
A llotioa to Eepeal the Belle Ternon Beso
lotion Carried,
BT THE EEPEAL MUCH MONEY IS SATED
Delegates to the Window Glassworkers'
Convention are making more than ordinary
efforts to dispose of the large amount of
business on hand so that they can adjourn by
to-morrow evening. All resolntions of an
unimportant character are laid npon the
table, and literally speaking this is the last
heard of them. Yesterday morning's ses
sion was devoted to a discussion of the
working rules of the association to be ap
plied in all window glass lactones and a
number of resolutions were adopted.
During the afternoon session the first im
portant matter was a resolution making a
law for the time and manner of paying dues
into the treasury of the association. This
resolution was returned to the Xaw Com
mittee. A motion raising the initiation
fee to $300 was lost At the present time
the initiation for glass house workers is
5200 and for apprentices 525.
Immediately after the defeat ot this reso
lution some intelligent one of the delegates
offered a measure, whereby the Belle
Vernon resolution, which has only
been in force for six months past,
was repealed. This resolution had its
origin at Belle Vernon and provides that
the Secretary of the association furnish a
semi-annual report of the expenditures and
receipts of the association in an itemized
form. To carry ont this idea not only
entails considerable labor, but a heavy ex
pense, as the organization is compelled to
engage an expert accountant to make out
the report. By the repeal of the measure
the expenses of each sub-lodge 1b received
separately and then added together in one
statement showing the aggregate expenses
and receipts of the different sub-lodges all
over the country, together with income and
output of the national body.
The next resolution was one stating that
it was absolutely necessary for the by-laws
of the association to be printed in French as
well as in English. None of the delegates'
seemed to object to this measure and it was
carried unanimously. Probably one of the
most important measures acted upon daring
the day's session was a resolution that
hereafter cutters should not be allowed to
put in stickers. This means that up until
the present time after the cutter had turned
out a pane of glass he was required by the
manutacturer to paste upon the glass a small
card bearing the inscription "This side
out" Under the new rule the manu
facturers will be obliged to employ some
one else to do it, and accordingly the cutter
will have more time to himself.
Just before adjournment a resolution was
offered that any member of the association
violating the obligation of the order and
convicted by court should be debarred from
holding any office in tbe power of the As
sembly to withhold. This motion was laid
upon the table.
ADJ0DRNED FOR A WEEK.
After Two Conferences In One Day Without
Any Good Having Been Accomplished
the Iron Manufacturers Take a Short
Vacation.
The Pittsburg manufacturers and the
"Wage Committee of tbe Amalgamated
Association held two conferences in the
Ferguson block yesterday, but as far as any
good was accomplished the two bodiesmight
just as well not met at all. The first session
convened in the morning at 10 o'clock and
lasted until one, while the afternoon meet
ing consumed four hours, from 2:30 until
G:30 o'clock.
Just before adjourning for ttfk day it was
decided not to hold anymore conferences
until next "Wednesday. Both sides are as
reticent as ever, nnd will dot discuss the
question of how much progress toward a
settlement has been made. The committee
men, however, seem quite happy, and the
possibilities of a settlement may not be as
far oft as is anticipated by the -public.
Secretary Madden announced last even
ing that" there were two more firms
who had " affixed their signatures to the
scale. They are the Keystone Horseshoe
Company and the Illinois Steel Company.
The latter concern signed for their
rod mill at Joliet, I1L The works
were erected in 1883 and contain
one Garrett mill with three gas furnaces.
The annual capacity is 60,000 net tons and
employment is eiven to 400 men. The Key
stone company have tneir worKS at oeven
teeuth and Clearfield streets, Philadelphia.
The mill was first put into operation Jan
uary 1, 1873, but was rebuilt in 1884. There
are four heating furnaces and three train of
rolls. The product is bar iron, merchant
bar, hoop and skelp iron, with an annual
capacity of 15,000 tons. One hundred and
fifty men are employed.
AVhile at his desk in the headqnarters of
the Amalgamated Association yesterday
President Weihe exhibited with some pride
a bulky stack of letters which bad just
arrived from all sections of the country,
each of them expressing sympathy lor the
members of the association and quite' a
number of them containing cash checks and
drafts in various amounts for the locked-out
men. In connection with this President
Weihe said: "I am not at liberty to make
public the names of the donors, but in one
instance secrecy has not been requested.
The letter is from the business men of
Sharon and incloses 5282."
KHIOHTS OF LAB0B HEET.
District Assrmb'y Mo. 3 Holds Its Regular
Quarterly Session.
Sixty delegates, representing 37 local
lodges, were present yesterday at the regu
lar quarterly meeting of District Assembly
No. 3, Knights of Labor, in the hall Third
avenue and Market street Outside of the
usual routine business little if anything of
importance was accomplished. During the
morning session resolntions wero adopted
sympathizing with and offering financial aid
to the Homestead workmen and condemn
ing the action of the Carnegie Steel Coin
fiany. In direct connection with this reso
ution a copy of an appeal was formulated
which will be sent to all local assemblies of
the Knights of Labor asking that financial
aid be given to Homestead workmen and
that the money be sent to President Weihe.
Two more resolntions were pased during
the afternoon which had their origin in the
present labor troubles. One nas to the ef
lect that Councils be petitioned to return
tbe ?1,000,000 given by Andrew Carnegie
for a free library, while the other was in the
form of a communication addressed to the
many local assenfblies. It urged that the
members of organized labor wherever fouud
should leave the malitia and allow it to be
composed of tbe male portion of aristocratic
families, clerks nnd others not in any way
connected with labor organizations.
Just before adjournment W. H. Dempsey
was elected as the representative of Dis
trict Assembly No. 3 to attend the General
Assembly, which will be held in St. Louis
or Rochester, N. Y.
TO THE HOMESTEAD WOBKBBS,
Expressions of Sympathy Tendered by the
Ithirii' Union.
The Pittsburg Lathers' Union" No. C764,
A. F. ot L., met yesterday and adopted a
resolution extending sympathy to the Home
stead workers. The resolution is as follows:
Besolved, That we extend to the Homo-
ead strikers onr svmnatby for their bold
stand against the enemy of organized labor
and uphold their course. We denounce the
action of the officials of tho Carnegie Com
pany, and will do all in our power to aid the
strikers to victory.
TO CHANGE THE BODTJOT.
The Dnqaesne Mill Will Hereafter Manu
facture Steel .Stall.
Beports from Duquesne' yesterday state
that a change wonld be made at once in the
product of the Carnegie steel plant there;
that the works will at "once be converted
into a steel rail mill and' that the altera
tions of furnaces, machinery aud rolls, nec
essary for the change, is in progress. Since
the Carnegie Company enlarged the plant
it has made nothing but steel billets, but
now all billet orders have been canceled.
If tbe change is made it will be put to the
use for which it was built Hy the'Allegheny
Bessemer Steel Company. At that time it
was considered the finest steel rail manu
facturing plant in the country. Soon after
the big firm purchased the works they
bought additional ground, doubled, the
capacitv of the plant and manufactured
steel billets. '
Scarcity of Orders;
At Wilmerding Ihe Westinghonse Air
brake Works are being operated on two
thirds time in all departments. This is due
to a scarcity of orders. To-night the plant
will in all probability close down until
next Monday. Three thousand five hundred
men are concerned.
LETTEHS OF APPB0VAI
Mayor Kennedy's Plan or Street Improve
ment Indorsed.
Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, received
yesterday two letters in response to the cir
cular ne sent to many citizens of Allegheny
relative to the proposed scheme for street
improvements. One was from James B.
Scott It reads as follows:!
I desire to cordially indorse your views re
garding the street improvements in Alle
gheny City. The disadvantages at which
Allegheny Cltv is placed in comparison with
the condition of affairs in Prttsunrxis so ap
parent that it must be manifest to all ou
tervlnjr persons that something mnst
bo done to maintain, tbe former
good name f! Allegheny, .nnd ' to
enable it to keep "up with the procession."

best thousbt and attention lo the subject of
a better and increased water supply for the
city. The present lacilltlcs are certainly
very Inadequate, and the supply and quality
of the water obtained, very objectionable.
