TRIKE A Amalgamated Officers Advise the Men Give Up the Fight and Take Steps to Better Their Condition, to The great strike at Carnegie’s Home- stead steel works has been declared ofl. After five months struggle, which for bitterness has probably been equalled in this country, the army of strikers finally decided to give up the fighty This action was taken meeting of the lodges of the Amal- gamated association at Homestead Saturday afternoon, the vote 101 in favor of declaring the and 91 against it. Among those present at the meeting were Vice President Carney, Secretary Kilgallon, Treasurer Madden and David Lynch, of the advisory board, The officials addressed members and in plain words told the strike was lost, and advised to take steps to better their condition. The members met with considerable opposition, but when the taken showed a majority of ten in favor of declaring the strike off. Those who were in favor of declaring the off were jubilant, while those were against it were badly put Most of the latter were MEN WHO WERE OBSTINATE, and many of them were men who had either applied for positions in the and had been turned down, that their names were pany’s black list and could'nt tions.

The people Homestead, especially the men, are highly elated over the de- claration to call the strike off, for K it would have continued much longer it would have ruined the town. Many business houses have fallen into the hands of the sheriff since strike has been on. resume its normal condition soon. HISTORY OF THE GREAT The Homestead strike has d the most disastrous in the history of the country. [It orginated from a re duction in the departments where members of the Amalgamated associa- tion of iron and steel employed. The hitch was on what known as the sliding s« scale which regulates the men’s wages by the market price of steel bi Nearly every will in this vicinity ed the scale, including other mills the Carnegie company. At the refusal of the firm to sign the a for the Homestead mill, a out occurred by the Amalgamated as sociation and they were joined by the mechanics and laborers who struck out of sympathy only, their wages not being reduced. The strikers were de termined to keep non-union men out of the mills and adopted military dis- cipline. The story of the arrival and bloody fight with the Pinkertons on July 6, the subsequent riotous proceed- ings and the calling out of the Nation- al Guard and its departure after three months duty is too well known {o re- peat.

The speaker | then reviewed the result of the recent | election, and said: All our order will ask of the new ad- ministration is that the same considera- tion given to other interests be accord- ed to agriculture. If the producer on the farm must compete with cheap labor, let the producer in the factory and mine do the same. Let the clever of free trade descend upon every pro- tected industry and not alone on agri- culture.” These remarks are sensible, and in perfect accord with the utterances of the REPORTER that the interestes of {the farmer be to attended above all others.

Even the most fanatical Re- publicans will recognize this verdict {and abandon all serious thought of continuing the struggle for the shat- tered idol. mc m——————— A —— THE VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA. The total vote of Pennsyvivanie cast { for President last week was 1,008,005, The vote of 1888, the next largest ever cast in the state, was 997 544. The Re- { publican vote fell off about 10,000; the | Democratic vote increased about 60, | 000; the Prohibition and the People’s jor Labor vote increased about 5,000 each. What a pity the Democrats did not {make a fight to carry the state. It | might have been swuog into line with | some of the other Republican strong- holds, If we gained 60,000 votes with- out a contest, what would have been the result if a fight had been made?

Used three bottles of lectric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well.
