Major Craw- ford expected the train load 1n aiy about bhalf past 7 and some time before that he doubled the patrols all the w between the railroad station and the Carnegie mills, Trains came und went, but the nonunion men did not uppear. Hour after hour strikers and militiamen Lined the approaches to the mill property wearily waitiug for the black sheep, but the black sheep kept out of the fold. Ata special meeting of the advisocy com- mittee called late this evening it was be- lieved that the men would come up tho river, uud patrols were strengthencd on tho panks .of the Monongahela, No resort to violence, the leaders urged, would be perimtied.

Last Day of the Congressional lnquiry Into the Homestead Afir, Prrrssung, Pa., July 14.—The cougres- sional committea completed the investiga- tion of the labor troubles at Homestead today and returned to Washington this eveniug. The committee resumed the lnvestigation ut 10 o’clock this moraing. Goneral Superiatendent John Potter of the Homestead mills was the first witness today. Ho said the work done in their mills was different from that done in any other mill, ‘Phe rollers did not have the hiring or dis charging of their assistauts. That was all doue by the company. Still each rollor was responsible for the work, and if not properly done was not paid for it. Mr. Potter described in detail the process of making avmor plate, stating that with the machinery used by the Carnegie company the cost of production was much less than that of other mills and the profit to the laborers more, He said the Homestead mills were the best mills in the world, the most complete and automatie. Their products were nou made to the same exteut by any other mills in tho world and thoy had man appliauces that were not to be found else- whe Advantages the L njo The advantages of the Homestead mills, by which @ man there could muke relatively bigher wages thau in other mills, was the perfect machiuery by which it was possible to turn out more product iu the samo space of time, Witness stated ko coula not give any idea of the cost of production in differ- ent mills nor of the labor cost of the Home- steaa mlls, 1 auswer to questions the wituess made a stutement of the uifferences between the men and their employers, The changes in horer ed. wages proposed by the company, he said, woild_affect about 400, Q.—Why did the company seek theso chaugest A.—We were payiug more monoy than our competitors for tho same work., We hud machinery that_enabled mon to make the highest wakes of any laboriug wen in the country, and we thought it only fair that they siould bo content with less, Q.—1In other words, you thouglit they were geiting @ litile more than their shure of the profits of the concern; is that itf A.—1 canuol say as to that (). —Is it not true that even with this state of affuirs the compauy made much largor pronts than any coucern of the kind in tho country ¢ A.—1 do not know anything about the pro fits or losses of the firm. Q.—What do you know about the employ ment of the Pinkertons that went to Home stead ! GIve yourexperience, witness replied that the works closcd Men bad bean cngaged as watch- wen, about 300 of whom wece Lo come from otner cities, Tuo witness repeated the story of the burgo trip up tho Monongahela, aud the battle when the attempt was mado to lund. He suid the first shot was hired from the shore. One of the Meu Testify, Chairman Mills called for Austin Calbe- felsch, a roller. He explained the difforenco between the old and the vew scale and the percentage of reauction proposed.* In heat ue and puddiing the reduction was only about § per cent. The greatest reductions came on the jobs wher the bLard- est work was doue. Iu the shearing department the reduction was from 1 to 6 per cent. Tho witness said the difference would be a reduction of from §100 o §5, “Ou & basis of 1,500 tons per woonthb,” he FRIDAY MORNING, NOT BE ATTEMPTED | continued, “my wazes wero $141.45 por month, The proposed seate would reduce my wages to #02." Tho witnoss stated that tho now scale would enablo the shearars to makoe §1.85 por duy. The cost of hesting, rolling and she ing was §1.50 per aay. Captain Kennedy, the watchman on the Pinkerton barges, WA next called. Hs also dotaiied the fieht and confirmed the state- ment of the previols wituess as to the first shot. Captain Keunedy said there wero twenty-five or thirty, good shots among the Piukertons. The athers were behind ico boxes and other place: Mr Chairman Frick was recalled, Chairman Oates Mr. Frick, sevaral stato ments bhave been made as to the effect it would huve on the men in tho four depart- monts, Can you give any specie inform tion¢ It has been smd that the reductions will affect those who do the hardest work. Mr. Frick submittgd. a comparative 1ist of wages fn tho differanit departments during the month of May. - Mr, Oates—Why do yon take May as an example! Were the wages higher or lower duriug that month? Frick—The wages might have been a littlo higher during that month than tho averago. A siatemont of open: hearth furnaces No. 2 for May shows that aut of 206 men employed 100 woild bo changaa and 106 remain ut changed. Out of 173.men employed in No. 1 mill seventy-five would be reduced and ninety-seven not. We tave lost money this vear on every ton of billets, slabs and blooms sold at Homestend. : Oates—Are the wages fixed arbitrarily { I'rick— Yes, with the exception of those fixed by the sliding scale, Oates—Do your earnings cut any figure in vour demand for a reduction in wuges! I'rick—No. The loss [ speak of on blooms, billets and slabs has no effect. Had Not Taken & Foreign Contract, Mr. Frick denied the report that his had taken a foreign contract for §§ per than the American rate. Mr. Boatner—Your foreman stated tha! improved machinery permitted you to turn out double the amount of steel at half the former cost. M. Frick—That is likely true as to the mill to which he rofers, Mr. Boatuer—Why do you decline to give the labor cost of production. Mr. Frick—Because we do not think we aro called uvon to make public our private business affairs. Mr. Bynum-—You msked for turough the MeKinley bill¢ Mr. Frick—Wo did not usk for any protec- tion. firm ton protection r. Bynum asked that if it were not true that some steel was bang exported. Mr. Frick replied that Parloy Bros. wero exporting soms very fine stecl, a_finer grado tha is made at the Carnegio plant. Mr. Bynum then repliead that un American manufacturer was exportung steel and com- peung in the markets of the world, Oates—Mr. Frick, don’t you other firms to get contracts § Mr. Frick—We compete with other con- otors., Chairman Oates—Could vou not tne works at Homestead the wages of the men{ Mr, Frick--No, s1; wo would eventually be driven into bankruptey if there was not a readjustment of wages. Taril Had Nothlag to Do with It. undersell U operate without reducing Mr. Broderick—You saud the tariff had nothing to do with the wage question at Homesteud. Mr. Frick—I have so stated.

Mr. Frick—I belieys so. High prices would increase the importations. There was a great deal of railroad building those years, which stunulated aemand. Mr. Broderick—Has the prices for the products of your mills steadily decreased during ths past three years, notwithstanding the tariff is practically probibitory ¢ Mr. Frick—Yes, sir. Iu answer to a question by Chairman Oates Mr. t'rick repeated his statement about the orzanization of the Carnegio interests. He sald the company was capitalized at 000,000. Charles S. Field, a real estats dealer, testi- fied that the fivst shot was fired by a miner from the shore, P A. J. Taylor, a grocer, said the first shot came from the barges aud the sccond from the shore. Chairman Oates then ‘said the committee had concluded its 1nvestigation so fur as tho Homestead trouble was concerned. “I'he commitiee,” suid Mr. Oates, *‘has some further inquiry to-make st otuer places to the Pinkerton organization. The court of nquiry at Pittsburg is now adjourned." The committeo left the city for Washing- ton tonicht. After Chairman Oates had announced thu formal adjournment uf the congressional committee, two witnesses for the workmen requested the privilego of making statemeats, and the committee was reconvened. George F. Rylands was sworn, He stated that Mr. Frick had based nis testimony ou tho best month in the bistory of the Home- stead plant, *In our first conference,” said Mr. Rvlands, *it was proposed to take seven men off the shearers, reducing the number to one-hatf. When we called the second time, it was proposed to tuke o Lwo men, leaving twelve shearers,” Mr. McQuade asked the privilege of ing a statement. He was sworn and stated, in contradiction to Mr. Frick’s statement as to the improvements made to the mill, that no suci improvements bad been made, No improvements hava been made i the mill. Ti:o increase is due, he sald, to the steady work on the part of the'men. Tho men work continuously eight hours, takiug no time formeuls. They eat while others are oiling the machinery. The proposed scale would affoct moro thun the 5 men mentioned by the company, 1 beliave that uine-tenths of thermen would be affacted. Mer. McQ aade said ho bad no further testi- mony, “But as lawmukers of tho land I hopa you will do something to bave the Pin- kcrtons disbauded.” mak- TEAD STRIK JOINED HOM S. Work nin the Other Carnegie Mills Went Out Yesterday. Afternoon, PrrrssunG, Pa., July I4.—The employes in Carnegie's Upper anddgwer Union mills in this city struck at nood aud the gas was turned off in the furnaces. By 3 this aftor- noon the men in all the departments will be out and tho mills shut down. The men struck because the company refused to con- fer again with the Homestead men. Nothing nas boen hoard from the Beavor Falls plaot, but the men have probably struck there ulso, This evening both of she Union ron plants were closed down sud motices wera posted warning tredpassers to keep of the proverty. About #,000 mea are affeoted by the strike in the two mills, The Beaver Falls plant, which has been closed for repairs, was to have rosumed operations Mouday next, but the men say they will not return to work unless the = firm grants auother conference 10 the Homestead workers. This movemont on the part of these men is an iu- dependent one, noL -uuder orders from the Amalgamuted ussoeiation, though sanctioned by it, and i5 a result of the concerted action of a body of nill workers fully in sympathy with the Homestead men. ‘I'ney roceive no assistauce from the Amalgamated treasury. ‘Though the vote taken at the recent wuss weetings upon this aetion was declared unanimous in favor of it, many of the work- men were dissatisfied, Some of the promi nent workers think the men are over rouch i thewselves, umber for the doustruction of a bigh fevce I is in readiness and can be put in shupo in @ few hours.
