The miscellaneous receipts, are' 864,106 less thiin last year, -as the bulk ot the Pacific Bailroad payments came in then.

MANY OUT AT HOMESTEAD. Another at tbe Bic Peonsjlvania Steel Works. A strike has been inaugurated at the Homestead works at Pittsburg which may rival the famous battle be- tween capital and labor which was fought there stven years ago.

The disehargejot fifteen men at the plant during the last three weeks is at the bottom of the trou- ble. These men were dismissed because of their affiliation with tormed lodge of the amalgamated association. The Homestead strike TN as precipitated when a committee of nine men, who sought the reinstatement of the discharg- ed men, were also discharged -for the same reason. Superintendent Corey in- formed the men that no "organized men would be retained, though it became nec- essary to close down the entire plant. At a secret meeting of the men it was decid- ed to stand by the organization, and in the event of the discharge of any of theit members all would strike.

When the nine men were discharged they "were not permitted to return to the inili. aud the walkout was not immedi- ately carried out, but "ventually one of the men gaitfed access to the workmen, witi the the.president of the amalgamated association at Home- stead, that 2,000 men have quit, and all departments are more or less crippled.

The headquarters of the trust are Chicago, but it is known that the combine is ing to grant an increase of wages, and wiil do' so soon. It is the custom to shut down about this Sme for repairs and stock-taking, anif the joint scale committee-failed 1 to agree-at the recent Chicago the Amalgamated association's represent stives tmavoidably played into the trust's i-inas by asking for a postponement. Had the scale beea signed the plants would probably have been closed within a few ii-eeks- "Well-informed labor len'dersr'say Jhat the unions will stick to the demand of a 20 per cent raise, and it is believed that this will be granted by the trust as soon as the various plants are, put into good running order.
