MAIUGEB SCHWAB'S LIST Plays an Important Part in the Be instatement of Applicants. AMALGAMATED MS GO BACK. Eorouch Merchants Happy in the Frcspect of Eenewed Easiness. TTHAT THE COMPACT OFFICIALS SAT The mechanics and laborers employed in the Homestead mill before the strike held a meeting yesterday to receive the report of the committee which conferred with the Amalgamated Association in the after noon of the dav before. The report was far from satisfactory, and a vote was taken as to whether they should obey the man date of the Amalgamated men and still hold ont or whether they should return to work. It was almost unanimously decided to apply for work and accept the best terms they could obtain from the company irre spective of the Amalgamated Association. The meeting was no sooner adjourned than a rush began for the company's office. The action of the meeting had been antici pated by a great number, who, from the time the whistle blew in the morning, had been waiting and watching about the offices until Superintendent Schwab was at liberty to receive them. Impatiently they tramped up and down the boardwalk and around the buildings, anxious to kuow if j they wonld be able to getpositions in the mill. "When the door was opened there was a grand rush; every person endeavored to enter first, realizing the trutU of the old proverb about the early bird and the worm. Heading tho Book of l'ate. Superintendent Schwab sat at adesk in his private office with a large indexed book in front of him. This was a book of fate for a great number of the men who applied for positions during the day, for it contained the names of every person the Carnegie Company would refuse to employ. From 150 to 200 names were written on its pages. The opening of the book meant a great deal to the men, who with anxious faces looked at it while their cases were being considered. But that look quickly passed away when the deputy nho was on dnty in the room pronounced the sesame, "Go in and get a pass." A great number thought their troubles were over when they passed this Rubicon, but they fonnd it was only the beginning. After getting the passes they were directed to the department designated on the bit of paper where they were brought before the loremen. The foreman, if he thought them proper men for the work, put them on, providing there were any vacancies. Not a few of the men came out of the mill with heavy hearts, their positions being taken and nothing being offered to them. Many who have held good positions in the works when they found this out hired themselves as laborers rather than be out of employ ment The Scene In tlie Manager's Office. The scene in Superintendent Schwab's office was a most interesting one. Mr. Schwab, by his genial manner, won the hearts of all the men who aoplied to him. In a happy way he questioned the men, and every now and then preached a little ser mon from the text ot experience to some who had been unusually active in the strike. Everything was taken good naturedly by the workmen. The Superin tendent questioned each man, asking him his name, at what he had worked, and who was his foreman. Then, it his name did not appear on the black list, he was passed on to the deputy sheriff, who directed him where to set his pass. Laborers were passed on without ques tion, heaters and helpers with the mechan ics were questioned more or less. The office force and recorders of the mills did not seem to have much chance and were told their positions were filled. Several email office boys applied to be reinstated, but were informed there was nothing lor them to do. Bricklayers were also refused employment, the company having more now than they can utilize. Mr. Schwab spoke to the un lucky men in such a pleasant way that they went out feeling that they had at least been refused politely. He had nothing to say to most of the blacklisted men, but some he told to call around Monday,as he wanted to talk to them. r.eceived a Follte Dismissal. "I am very sorry," was Mr. Schwab's way of refusing a man a pass to sea about employment, "but we could not employ you under any circumstances." Then again: "Your name is on our list here and you cannot work for us again." One of the most prominent foremen applied during the afternoon to be reinstated. Superintend ent Schwab dismissed him with: "I am sorry, Jut foremen we cannot trust in times of trouble we cannot trust in times of peace; so I will have to refnse von employment." Of the thousand men who applied for work yesterday the majority were laborers snd mechanics, but members of the Amal gamated Association were far from not hav ing any representation in the line. It might be said that as a fair average about one in every five or ten appli cants was a member of the Amaleamated association. The officers of the association were desirous of obtaining the names of the men who bolted, and have a list of some 30 which will be presented at the meeting of the1 Advisory Board. The Amalgamated Iieople appreciate that the strike has been ost, but do not think anything could be gained by declaring the mill open. As Viewed by an Amalgamated Man. In speaking of the matter George Eyland said: "It was our own men who beat us. The very men v, ho were benefited by this association, who never bad the brains or perseverance to better themselves, are the ones who worked right against us. Now.as far as I am concerned, I was not'affected by the scale, but I was fightinSc a good fight for principle, and some ot the very men con cerned in this dispnte were the first to go back. I don't think the strike ended as it should. I think there are many other ways in -which it could have been brought to a close that would have been much more satisfactory, but the matter is ended now and there is no use of discussing it" ".What course will the Amalgamated men puriue noW-," was asked. "tyllt Ihere is only one thing for them to dp " MK Kyland replied, "and that is ret p'osithbn elsewhere. There is no doubt that a gold number of us could not get porttionin the works if we wished, but if I vire implying to anv firm for a situation thtJJ reference I would cive would be the Catoegle Steel Company." o vou tnlnic tne Amalgamated associ- atic will declare the strike on; the re- port asked. hat is a matter for the people here in tow to decide." Mr. Kvland said, "I can- not ell what they will do about it" Pleased TVlth tho Stato of Affairs.

The duty in Homestead has been none too pleasant for the men. For the past few months merchants have been buying in small lots, but many heavy holiday orders have been sent out in the past few days. The non-union men are commencing to go into the borough to deal, and the merchants figure that there will al ways be as many men in the mill as here tofore, whether union or non-union. Near ly every day families of 'non-unionists are arriving. Homestead has a larger popula tion now than ever it had before, but it is bound to resume its normal condition, as the mill gives employment to only a certain number of men. Several real estate deals have been made in the past few weeks. FROM THE COMPANY'S SIDE. Secretary Ixjvejoy Expresses Himself as Satisfied IVlth the Way Things Are Golns at Homestead Some Positions Yet Open for the Old Men. The news of the break at the Homestead mills by the mechanics and laborers was pleasantly received at the Carnegie office on Filth avenue. Secretary Lovojoy was in a very amiable mood last evening, and seemed as though a great load had been lilted from APPLTISO TO MA2TAGEE bis mind with the end of the strike in sight. "The company," he began, "is naturally pleased with the news from Homestead this afternoon." "Are there many positions yet to be filled in the Homestead mills?" "There are still some, but how many I do not know, as the company has not been keeping track of vacancies for the past sis weeks. But the men will have to take their chances in getting their places." "How about the Lawrenceville mills?" "They are filled and I think few men could be accommodated." "In what department has the greatest difficulty been experienced with the new men?" "The' open-hearth and Bessemer at Home stead. The Lawrenceville mills were easy to fill. The lack of laborers has caused a creat deal of trouble, and the breaking away of the laborers will put us in good trim, even should we take bade none ot the others. The Huns and Slavs make our best laborers, and we have accordingly desired their help. There are about 150 men who will never be taken back under any consid eration." "How about ihe Beaver Falls mills ?" "I don't think there will be any trouble and the old men will go back to their old places." "Would you make an estimate as to what the strike has cost?" "Not on the company's side, as I do not think that concerns the public." Mr. Lovejoy expressed great satisfaction at the way "the strike was ending, and thought there would be no trouble of any kind. LAWRENCEVILLE STRIKERS. They Struck Through Sympathy for the Homestead Lockcd-Out Men and Have Remained Firm -Think the Strike Will Not Be Declared Off Officially. The strikers at the Lawrenceville mills of the Carnegie Steel Companv held their usual meeting at their headquarters yester day morning. The reports of disaffection in the ranks of the locked-out men at Homestead were looked upon with appre hension. It was decided to stand ont and let the men at Homestead take the initiative in any movement looking to declaring the strike of About 350 men, members of the Amalgamated As sociation, are still out at these mills. Since the strike was declared less than halt a dozen men have deserted the ranks and returned to work. The laborers and me chanics were never really out, and went back as soon as men could be procured to take the more responsible positions held by Amalgamated steel worters. As the work is not very complicated there was no great difficulty in seenring men, and these mills were in full operation sooner than any other of the various Carnegie plants. Until yesterday, the members of the Amalgamated Association at Lawrenceville most emphatically said they would not re turn to work. Bat a change was then noticed, and they not only talked more freely, but in a less determined manner. They were inclined to acknowledge that the strikers were losing ground, but still main tained that the Amalgamated Association had not or would not officially declare the strike off One of the strikers, as spokesman for a party, was talked to yesterday. On being asked what would be done next, he said: "I don't think the association will ever declare the strike off. Things will simply run along and the men grad ually drift to other places for work. The mills are full here and there is no other course left. We think the mechanic! and laborers at Homestead held out loyally and have not a word to sav against them. They could not be blamed for returning as they did. The Amalgamated Association will go on as in the past, and with these men at work, the burden win be much liehter and our members can be cared for better, for the strikers who were not members of the association received the same benefits as those who were. The Amalgamated Asso ciation has withstood strikes before and till live after this one is over." TOO SOON TO TALE YET. The Officials of the Amalgamated Associa tion Have Little to Say. The officials of the Amalgamated Associa tion would say little on the Homestead strike last night Ex-President William Weihe had left for Yonng6town, O., where he will address the National Union of Iron and Steel Workers to-day. This it a new organization and it is the intention to try to unite it with the Amalgamated Associa tion, and thus make the association so much stronger. President Garland will also be present. Secretary Kilgallon said he did not care to express an opinion as to the result of the breaking away of the mechanics and labor ers. He said the association still had j) THE PITTSBURG money and wonld keen np the fight. He said the kindliest feelings were felt toward the mechanics and laborers, who had held out so loyally so long, but at the .last mo ment bad gone back to work. He said the time was too short yet to tell whether the present strike would have a permanent or temporary effect on the organization.

Three Men Narrowly Escape Death In a Water Street Building The Elevator They Are on Drops Down Seven Stories at an Awful Bate. A thrilling accident occurred in the new building In the course of erection at Wood and Water streets last evenintr. Arthur King, the foreman of the bricklayers, and two other workmen were on the elevator used for hauling materials to the upper stories and were going to the top of the building. . The elevator was overladen with lumber, and just as it reached the seventh story the engine became powerless to hold it, and the elevator with its burden of human freight and lnmber went crashing to the bottom. Tnt re was great excitement among the workmen. The employes throughout the building, more.than 100 In number, rushed to the scene of the accident expecting to find thrae lifeless bodies. But when they reaohed the elevator they found it was not so had as they anticipated. Mr. King's knee was dislocated. He waj removed to his home on Troy Hill, Allegheny, in a cab. He was also bruised some about the body. He is about SO years of age. Edward Hoblnson, colored, aged 37, of Fulton street, bad one foot mashed and a leg hurt. Lawrence McKallv, aged 45, who lives at South Third and Carson streets, had his back badly injured. All the men were more or less brnised by being tangled up with the lumber in the fall. Robinson and McNally were both taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. A workman, who narrowly escaped being hit by the elevntor, said that he considered it almost a miracle that the men were not killed. "The elevator has carried 15 men to the. top story with safety, "said he, "but it xras loaded too heavily this time and its weight reversed the engine. The engineer tried to hold it, but it was beyond bis con trol. I do not know who was responsible for the loading of the elevator." HE WOULDN'T BE SNUBBED.
