The minors built u hospital at Wallace and adopted n rule that , the ? 1 per month , instead of being paid lo the companies , should bo paid to the hospital.

All day long everybody In Homestead has been expecting the arrival of a train load of 4UJ nonunion workmen who have persistently refused to materialize , although the military and strikers' committee have been on thu lookout for them. Major Craw ford expected the train load in a ! tibout half p.isl 7 and some time before that ho doubled the patrols all thu way between the railroad station und the Carnegie mills. Trains came and wont , but the nonunion men did not nppct.r. Hour after hour strikers and militiamen lined the approaches to the mill property wearily waiting for the black sheep , but thu black sheep kept out of the fold. At u special mooting of the advisory com mittee called late thus availing It was b.o- lleved that the men would come up the river , and patrols were strengthened on the oauks , of thuMonongahclii. No resort to violence , the loaders urged , would bo permitted. No intimidation will bo reported to. The course of the committee Is to bjono of argument only , nnd they believe thu troops will not prevent them Irom having access io the newcomers uulsido of the Curiiegiu works. lliu Only Danger of a Collision. It is hero that the only dangcrof a collision at the present tlmo exists , because the .strikers will certainly endeavor to talk to thu nonunion men us they are brought In and if the so'.diorb ' do not permit argument there may bo an clTort to have arguments whether or not. The situation is to home ex tent critical , because the strict discipline of tbo tioops is very apt to clash with the utterly fearless und determined purpose of the sinners. The latter claim that they ure law-abiding citizens , who aru entitled to speak to anyone they please. On the other hand , it is believed that no one will bo per mitted to interfere In uny manner w'.th the nonunion men when they are brought in. Thus the two sides of the controversy pre sent every clement of a possible light , which is not exactly expected , but which Is certainly feared in Homestead tonight it tbo now men should uj pushed In by cither railroad or river. It is a serious mistalio to suppose that the strikers , are in any way cowou by thu pro- ciicu of the troops , so fur as insisting upon what they oclicvo to bo Vheir legal rights , and thu loaders , oven including sucn ex tremely conservative men as O'Donnell , will undoubtedly demand it , and if they can in any way bccuro it they will gut access to the now comers and plead with tticin before they cuter into the wor , < s. Just why both the inilltla and , the strikers should both bn to conlidt-nt that the new men are coming tonight is not very evident to the new.ipapor men. No party will give " any authority , but both sides"uro preparing for their coining. They Are Not Asltliif ; for Help. A mass meeting of the lockcd-out men of the Carnegie btcel works will bo hold ut 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the opera .jhcusu to dcviso moans nf distributing the relief proffered by Co. ) later organizations. A relief com- uiilteo will bo appointed which will estab lish a relief Leadqirirlcrs. The ndvlsor/ committee again asks the people of thu country to iiiuerstand thut It is asking for no tclp and that uny man who asks for help in the name of tbo Amalgamated association is a swindler. When the Amalgamated as sociation needs help It will ask for it through the organized societies of the trades and in no other way can help bo given to the men here. Last Day ol tliu Congressional Inquiry Into tin1 Homestead All'ilr. PiTT-muito , Pa. , July 1-1. The congres sional committco completed the investiga tion of the labor troubles at Homestead today nnd returned to Washington this evening. The committee resumed the investigation ut 10 o'clock this morning. General Superintendent John Potter of the Homestead mills wus the lirst witness today. Ho said the work done in their mills \v.n different from that done in any other mill. The rollers did not have the hiring or dis charging ol their assistants. That was all dona by the company. Still each roller was responsible for the work , and If not proosrly done was not paid for It. Mr. Potter described In detail the process of making armor plate , stating that with tbo machinery used by the Carnegie company the cost ot production was much less than that of other mills nnd the profit to the laborers more. Ho said the Homestead mills wore the best mills In the world , the most complete and automatic. Their products were noj made to the same extent by any other mills In the world and they had many appliances that wcro not to bo found else where. AilMintagex the I.abarer llnjoyed. The advantages ottho HomoUead mills , by which a man there could make relatively higher wages than in other mills , was the perfect machinery by which It was possible to turn out more product lu the same space of tlmo , Witness stated ho could not give any ido.i of the cost of production In differ ent mills nor of the labor cost of tbo Homc- utoad mills , In unswor to questions the witness made a statement of the differences between the men and their employers. Thu changes In wages proposed by thu company , buuald , wo ltd affect about 400. Q. Why did the company seek these A. Wo wore paving moro money than our competitor * for the name work. Wo hud machinery ihui enabled men to make the highest wages of any laboring men in the country , und wo thought It only fair that ttiov should bo content with loss.

( ) U it not true that even with this state of affairs thu company made much larger pi outs than any concern of the kind In the country I A. 1 do not know anything about tbo pro- tits or losses of the llrm.

Chairman Mills called for Austin Cnlbc- fcUch , a roller. Ho explained the difference between the old and the now scale and tin- pcrcentajjo of reduction propoiud , ' * In heat ing and puddling the reduction wan only about S pur cent. The greatest reductions came on the Jobs wher" > the hard est work was dono. In the shearing department the reduction was from 1 to 0 per cent. The wltnoHH mid tlio difference would bo u reduction of from 1100 ' Ou a basis of 1,000 toca per month , " ho continued , "my waSos were ft4M5 per month , The proposed , scale would reducoray wages to $03. " The wltnois stated that the now scale would enable the sbcm-ars to make $1 S. > per dav. The cost of heillnp , rolling nnd shear ing was $1.50 per dny Captain Kennedy , the watchman on the Pinkerton bargol , was next called. Ho nlso detailed the llehl and continued the stain- mcnt of the previous witness as to the Ilrst shot. C.xptaln Kennedy said there wo.ro twenty-live or thirty , good shots among the Piukortons. Thu othots were behind ice boxes nnd other places. Mr. Trick lleealleil. Chairman frlck was recalled. Chairman Gates. Mr. Trick , several slnto mcnts have been made as to the effect it would have on the men In the four depart ments. Can you glvo any specula informa tion I It has been said that the reductions will affect these who do the hardest work , Mr. Frick submitted a compar.itlvo list of wages In ( ho different department.- ) during the month of May , , - Mr. Dates Why do you take May as nn example I Were the Wages higher or lower during that month ! " * * Krick The wage.might have been n Ilttlo higher during that month than the average. A stntcmont of open' hearth furnaces No. 2 for May shows that out ol .i'Jll mon employed 100 would bo chnngna nnd Hid remain uis- changed. Out of ITJ.hien employed In No. I mill seventy-live would bo reduced nnd ninety-seven not. Wo have lost money this year on every ton of billets , slabs and blooms sold at Homestead. " Gates Are the wages fixed arbitrarily ! Prick Yes , with the exception of thoio fixed by the sliding scale. Gates Do your earnings cut anv figure In your demand for a reduction In wugoil Prick No. The loss I speak of on blooms , billets and slabs has no effect. Had Not Taknn H foreign Contrart. Mr. FricK denied the report , that his llrm had taken a foreign contract for f per ton loss than the American rato. Mr. Hoatncr Your foreman stated Itiat , Improved machinery permitted you to turn out double the amount of steel at half the former cost. Mr. Frlck That Is likely true as to the mill to which ho rofort. Mr. BoBtnor Why do you decline to glvo the labor cent of production. Mr. Frick Because wo do not think wo are called upon to make public our private business affairs. . Mr. Bynum You asked for protection through tlio McKinley bill ) Mr. Frick Wo dld'not ask for ony protec tion. tion.Mr. Mr. Bynum asked that If It wore not true that some steel was b jing exported. Mr. Filck replied that Parlor Bros , were exporting t > omo very line stool , a liner grade than is made at 1)19 ) Carnegie plant. Mr. Bynum then replied that an American manufacturer was exporting stcol and com peting in the nmrKsts of the world. Oiites Mr. Frick , don't you undersell other llrms to got con tracts * Mr. FricK Wo compete with other con tractors. Chairman Oatos Could you not operate tno works at Homestead without reducing the wages of thu men ! Mr. Frlck No , sir ; wo would eventually bo driven Into banuruptcy if there was not a readjustment of wages. T.irllT Hud Nothing to Do with It. Mr. Broderlck You said the tnrilT had nothing to do with the waga question nt Homestead. Mr. Frick I have so stated. I bcliavo that after the readjustment of waives that the earnings of every manwhoso , wages will bo reduced will baus high as under the old .scalo. , Mr. Bvnum The iron industry * was dc- pressed from ISTd to 18'Annd the revival of the Industry was In lt9 atfd 1831.

In answer to n question bv Chairman Oatos Mr. l-'rlcK repsatod his statement about the organisation of the Carnegie interests. Ho said the company was capitalized at ' < J5.000.OUO. Charles S. Field , a real estate dealer , tostl- lied that the lirst bhot was llrod by a miner from the shore. s A. J. Taylor , a grocer , said the lirst shot came from the barges uutl the second from the shore. Chairman Oatos then 'said the committee had concluded its investigation so fur as the Homestead trouble was'cont'ornod. "Tho committee , " suid Mr. Dates , ' 'has some further inquiry to.mako at other places as to the Pinki'rton orgunlzution. The court of inquiry nt Pittshurg Is now ndjourncd. " The committee loft the city for Washing ton tonleht. After Chairman Gates had announced thu formal adjournment uf thu congressional committee , two witnesses for the workman requested the privilege of making statements , und the committed was reconvened. George F. Kylands was sworn. Ho stated that Mr. Frick had based his testimony on the best month in the history of the Home stead plant , "In our Mrst conference , " sold Mr. Uvlamls , "it was proposed to take seven mon off the shearers , reducing the number to one-half. When wo called the second time , it was proposed to tuku oit two men , leaving twelve shearers. " Mr. McQuudo asked the privilege of mak ing a stntcmont. He was sworn ana stated. in contradiction to Mr. Prick's statement as to tlio Improvements made to the mill , that no sr.c'i Improvements bud bean made. No improvements have boeu made in the mill. Thu increase is due , ho said , to the steady work on the part of tho'mcn. The men work continuously eight hours , taking no time for meals. They oat \vMlo others are oiling the machinery. The 'proposed ' scale would affect morn than the : & > men mentioned by the company. I belluvo that nine-tenths of lhdinon would bo affected.

After all there Is an astonishingly small number ot sere hearts left In congress as the result of thu summary disposition of the free silver coinage bill yesterday. Today the members are comparing notes and IInil that they nro as well off as could 03 expected. The ex treme silver men philosophically say that they have made a glorious light and CMI now co homo and tell their ocopio that they have done nil that representatives could do to ad vance the cause which Is so near their hearts , nnd that they hope to renew the struggle next winter with bettor prospects of success. The nulls , us they . nro now commonly known , n * a rule represent constituencies' are strongly committed In favor of the gold otnndard or of the pres ent coinage laws. They will go. homo and argue with tbolr people that the putty they represent is "sound" on the llnanclal ques tion , and hope thereby to gather many votes In the fall elections. That Is what nil tuo members and senators are talking of , nnd consequently they are extremely anxious to gut away from Washington nnd begin the campaign work. Many of the members who have heretofore been strongly entrenched behind democratic majorities now begin to feel apprehensive , and they want to get home and talk with their constituents , so matters of legislation are hurried forward with all expedition. With the llnal passage of the appropriation bills will end the present session of congress , and they nro to have right of way over everything else. WantH to lEutallatr.
