AN EXPENSIVE STRIKE.
A Review of the Great Lock Out. t.
Sensational Feature, Xta Coat and th
Trouble That Are to O em.
On June 28, the Carnegie Steel Company
locked out Its Homestead employe because
n agreement on the wage scale could not
be reached, and then began the mewf costly
tnd sensational labor dispute the country
has witnessed since the great railroad strike
of 1877.
The Homestead trouble has attracted the
ttcntlon of the civilized world, has found
Its way Into the executive, judicial and leg
islative departments of municipal, county,
State and national governments, and Is be
ing forced as an Issue In the National cam
paign by free traders and free trade organs.
Sensation has followed sensation until the
people are even now asking, "What next?"
The appeal t" the Sheriff, for aid to re
covering the steel works from the locked
out men who were in practical possesion of
them, hv chairman II. t. Krick: the send
In.! ami the return of the Sheriff's dcputle
without getting inside of the mill fence, was
an early act in the great drama, or tragedy.
Then followed the I'lnkertons. the pitched
battle, fie death of III men, the wounding
of a score of others an I the awful gauntlet
whhh shocked civilization. The victory
over the I'lnkertons was followed by a prac
tical reign of mob law In a modified form
In Homestead, which soon gave way to
martial law.
The main body of the National Guard was

not more. This is (Ml. 0 si more, Carnegie
workmen at Dinpiesnc, Heaver Falls and
Pittsburgh have lost about (UKi.oon in wages
and the firm's losses have been swelled
by the Idleness of tlice plants. Workmen
hi Pittsburgh and other places not employed
by the Carnegie Company have also been
thrown idle by the strike, but their losses
cannot be counted. The county will hn'e
to pay a good round sum for deputy sheriffs

being compelled to pay for the burned
barges. Tne Nation willalsn have a small

Reside the money cost and the loss of
precious lives, the "trouble stirred up those,
pestsof socle" v the Anarchists and led to the
'hooting of Chairman Erie k. A number of
eel Woikers are undercharges of murder
and more must defend themselves In court
against a charge of aggravated riot. A
Lieut. Colonel of the National guard and
pos'iblytlie Major General will have to
satisfy the civil courts that they had
authority to string a private up by the
thumbs and to shave his head. Deuiago-
f;ues ail over the country have found a
tearing through the great struggle, both
Houses of Congress have wrestled with it,
Pinkertonisin has been killed by It, wor
ships have been delayed In construction by
It, it has brought sorrow to many 'uomes
and it is only a month old.
That is the Homestead lockout.

EKI1IT HUNDRED MEN AT WORK
IN THE CARNEGIR MILL AT HOMFSTEAD, AND
OVER 100 MEN ADDED DAILY.
In order to ascertain the true condition of
affairs at the Homestead steel-works, and to
learn if the oft-repeated stories published
about only a few men being at work and
the majority of these dissatisfied bad any
foundation in truth, a Pittsburgh reporter
secured a permit and visited the worka
Thursday. The result was a most surprising
revelation, and plainly indicated that those
persons outeide the work who pretend to be
thoroughly posted on the workings within
the mill ground are either wilfully deceiv
ng the public or they have no knowledge
about what they speak.
Not since the company regained full pos
session of the plunt. which for several day
wan in the hands of the mob, have represen
tatives of the newspapers been admitted to
the works until now. The belief has been
general that the discharged workmen on
one side and the olllcials of the company
on the other have been playing a double
game of deception on the public as to the
progress of resuming work, for the eflect it
would huve upon thoe seriously consider
ing the acceptance of employment at the
terms offered. Vice Chuirman Leishmun
disproved this by issuing order admitting
representatives of certain newspapers to the
works. They were given every opportunity
to make a thorough investigation of every
department of the plunt. even to talking
with the men there at work.
The result of thi personal investigation
proves that there are over 700 men now at
work in the mills, exclusive of superinten
dents, foremen and heuds of departments,
which included increase the total number
to about 800. The new men a a rule are
bright, intelligent Americans, a large ma
jority of whom are skilled and exjierienced
men in the departments in which they are
employed. The best evidence thut tbey aro
satisfied may be given in their own worda.
Thev say their wages and treatment are
satisfactory, and they have no doubt of per
manent employment in the position which,
they have accepted.
