,' v . visitors when they left declared that Horne stead was one of the most peaceful towns in the country. ' The saloons were closed tighter than the works, and love or cash could not apparent ly get liquor for the thirsty. There were no speak-easies, but the soda water fountains did a rushins business Groups of perspir ing people surrounded them all the aiter noon, and at each one there were dry visit ors waiting their turn to be served. The day was devoid of a single incident which could be classed as een embryo ex citement. To a visitor on Saturday the only change noticeable was the fact that the doors of the stores and saloons were closed and more people on the streets. FROM HOMESTEAD PULPITS. Cttrrances or the Ministers In the Disturbed Little Villoce Manifestations or Ap proval Follow Strong Utterance From Pastors A Demand Thst the Firm Ar bitrate. The ministers of the gospel at Home stead are still giving manifestations ot their sympathy with the strikers. All the churches were largely attended yesterday morning in anticipation of some radical ex pression from the pulpit, and the visitors were not disappointed. At the Methodist Church the Eev. Mr. Thompson, of the Gennessee Conference, occupied the pulpit in lieu of Eev. Dr. Mc Illyur, the regular pastor, and made some forcible allusions to the existing strife. "When the world shall turn from seeking its own selfish ends," said he, "all immoral efforts of self-aggrandisement will be things of the past. We shall then, indeed, have triumphant democracy' when Carnegie is not king, but when Christ is the acknowl edged Lord of Hosts. Then the lion of cap ital shall lie down with the Iamb of labor, and there will be no more Pmkertons to destroy or harm." The manifestations of approval which fol lowed these expressions amounted almost to applause, and the following sentiments from the prayer of Rev. Dr. Mclllyar also received cordial approval: "While the turging waves of sorrow have pressed heav ily on this community during tne past lew days, we pray that with God's help, ourfaith shall be stayed and our confidence in Godand our hope ot salvation made more strong. God grant comfort to those hearts that are watchins to-day over their wounded and those widows and mothers that are weeping over their dead. God, we prav that demo: gogy may take a back seat, and that honest men mav be brought to the front." At St." Mary's Catholic Church on Tenth avenue, at high mass the Bev. J. J. Bullion spoke of the riot and the present uneasy condition of the town. He adjured his flock to do everything in its power to avoid iurther bloodshed, and declared that it should be no common effort of all good citi zens to bring about the arbitration of the present quarrel. This, he said, the power of public opinion would force upon both the disputants. In speaking about the matter afterward, Father Bullion said: "This is a peaceable community, but a fearless one. They will submit to the law, but they will not submit to what they deem illegal lorces. It another attempt is made to force the Pinkertons into Homestead I fear the very worst end. There will be bloodshed. The quarrel can not be settled that way, the firm and the men must arbitrate." "But if the firm refuse to arbitrate?" "How can it in reason reject a reasonable solution of this most calamitous affair." RECEIVING THE NEWS. Peop'e Had Nearly All Gone Home and Little Excitement Rrsulted. The receipt of the news that the National Guard had been ordered to Homestead cre ated remarkably little excitement in the streets. It was nearly midnight be fore the news became authentically known outside of The Dispatch of fice in this city, and as the day had been quietlv spent at Homestead there was no apprehension of an immediate change in the situation, and few people were on the street When Tun Dispatch bulletin was posted it caused excitement among the few people on the street and frequent remarks were frequently overheard. "It's about time he was doing something." "The strik ers will stop fighting now." '"Well, Mc Cleary got what he wanted after all." SOLDIERS ASSEMBLING. Expect to Pass Their Annnal Eneimp. ment at Homrstead. The officers of the Eighteenth Regiment were wandering into their armory every five minutes from 2 until 3 o'clock this morning. Colonel Smith was down before 12 o'clock, and he was closely followed by Inspector General Mc Kiliben. Half a dozen captains and lieu tenants were busy sending out notices by messenger boys to their men to report for duty at once. It is the general impression of all of the officers that they will pass their annual en campment at Homestead. If this is done it will be a big saving to the State. The Eighteenth's officers say they will turn out a full company. SOCIALISTS TALE LOUDLY. They Tats Resolutions of a Very Fiery Character. The English-speaking section of the Socialistic Labor party of Pittsburg held a meeting last night at 548 Smithfield street, at which- resolutions were adopted sym pathizing with the locked-out men at Homestead and denouncing the Carnegie Company for employing the Pinkertons. The last resolution is as follows: Resolved, That we demand that the Dis trict Attorney of Allesheny county at once proceed to Indict for murder all who, di rectly or Indirectlv, had a hand In the Homestead massacre, regardless of whether tliey occupy palaces In the East End or castles in Scotland, purchased by the nn paid labor of the men they have murdered. After the adoption of the foregoing the members discussed the propriety ot "estab lishing a daily socialistic paper in Pitts burg, and a committee was appointed to organize a stock company and $500 was raised before adjourning to start the fund. Several speeches were made by the mem bers of the section, all of whom agreed that existing law is against the laboring man, and that no great good can be accomplished by force or in any way except by inde pendent political action of the proletariat. A committee of arrangements was ap pointed to provide for a hall for the inter national onvention of the Labor Xews Bureau, which assembles in this city July 27. KOBE CARNEGIE MEN HAT STHHCE. The Braddock and Daqnesne Workers In f-vmpatliv With Homesteaders. Word was received at headquarters at Homestead last night that the men em ployed in the non-union mills of the Car negie Company at Braddock and Duquesne had formally notified the Homestead lead ers that they stood ready to inaugurate a sympathetic strike at both those places,and only awaited the word from Homestead to go out. Theatrical Employe I'ass Be.olutlonn. In Knights of Labor Hall at 3 o'clock yesterday altemoon Local Assembly No. 10,604, of Theatrical Mechanics, met and passed resolutions indorsing the action ot the locked-out Homestead workmen and condemning the recent movements of the Carnegie Steel Company. The resolutions extended sympathy to the workmen in their present trouble and showed "opposition to Pinkertonism, Frickism and other isms practiced by the firm of late." FOR A FULL NOUIRY Both Sides Will Attend the Congressional Commit tee's Sessions. CHAIBMAtf FBICK BEADY. The Carnegie Company's Claim3 Will Be Fully Presented. WORKMEN WILL ALSO TESTIFY. Questions Involving the Power of the Ka tional Government. HOW PEOPLE YIETT THE INTESTIGATION The Congressional Committee appointed to investigate the causes and events of the Homestead riot will sit in the United States courtroom in this city at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The investigation promises to be an interesting one, as both sides to the great controversy say that they are ready to attend the committee's sessions and lend their aid to make the investigation a fair and thorough one. The Washington dispatches say that the committee has mailed notes to varions officials and interested persons, requesting their attendance to-morrow. Such notices had not been received yesterday by the men named in the telegrams. They will probably come to hand to-day. Mr. H. C Frick was asked yesterday if he would attend the committee's sessions. He replied that he was ready to do so, if he were called upon. He was then asked if he thought any good could result from such an inquiry. To that he replied, "I do not know." Mr. P. C Knox, of the firm of Knox & Eeed, solicitors lor the Carnegie Steel Com pany, was asked if he would attend the in vestigation. He said, "I have had no no tice in regard to the meeting, except what I saw in The Dispatch. We have had no conference on the subject. If Mr. Prick at tends as a witness, we will doubtless be present as his attorneys. For myself, I am ready to do all I can to assist the committee to secure a thorough understanding of the controversy. The company only desires justice, and is willing to make its position known to the community at large." Sheriff McCleary VC1U Be Present. Sheriff McCleary will also attend the sessions of the committee, and is ready to give them any information in his posses sion. The investigation will also be attended by President Weihe and other officials of the Amalgamated Association, in company with their attorney, W. J. Brennen. Hugh O'Donnell and otber leaders from Home stead will be present to answer any call of the committee for information. Speaking yesterday of the powers and privileges of Congressional committees Major A. M. Brown, the well-known attorney, said: "Such committees exercise a pretty strong power to compel witnesses to testify, but I think as a general thing the 'commit tees are courteous and not unfair. In many cases they compel theproduction of papers, documents, correspondence, eta If a wit ness should refuse to attend or to answer reasonable questions, the committee would have no power in itself to arrest. It would report to the House and that body might, in its discretion, order the arrest of the re luctant witness. An arrest would be made under the Speaker's warrant I do not think a committee of Congress could com pel a witness to answer questions that would criminate himself any more than a court could. It is rare that any question arises as to arresting a witness for refusing to answer." 'If a man should give testimony before the committee showing that he fired shots at Homestead, could that testimony be used against,him in a criminal prosecution?" A Witness Mnst Be Cantlou. "The committee could not protect a wit ness who might give testimony that could be used against him. If a man should ap pear before this committee and under ex amination would state that he fired the first shot, that would be an admission that could be used against him if he were indicted for an assault or a homicide. The committee, however, is not likely to call out such testi mony. They come to make a general in vestigation into the equities of the contest, and they desire to hear all sides in order that they may make an intelligent report." "Do you think such an investigation will result in any good?" "1 do not think such an inquiry will do a particle of good, that it is a mere waste of ef fort. They seize on these things at times from very bad motives. I have known of no case of an investigation by Congress that did any good. As a rule Congress can apply no corrective power. It can only re port to the country, and usually those re ports have the color of partisanship and are used for political purposes. As the United States Government is not taking any hand in this trouble, and has not been asked to take a hand, this inquiry is voluntary. Dealing with labor difficulties is not within the purvievv of the National Government. They only come to its notice when the State government is overthrown in its efforts to preserve order." "Might not such an inquiry lead to the creation by Congress of a national court of arbitration?" "In my judgment Congress would not have the power to compel workingmen and manufacturers to submit to arbitration. The creation of courts of arbitration must be by the State Government, if at all." Invited to Attend the Inquest. Some people think the committee can do no harm, at least, and nobody objects to an investigation for the sake of the future. One man yesterdav asked sarcastically if these men are the coroners for Uncle Sam. Coroner McDowell himself doesn't under stand that the committee is designed to usurp his office. He takes a broad view of the situation, and invites the committee, through The Dispatch, to attend the in quest Tuesday afternoon. He thought they could; get a great deal of valuable informa tion from witnesses under oath. He added that he would issue an attachment for any witness summoned who is not at the in quest. The Coroner is willing to help the committee all he can, and says his records are at their disposal. Judge Heed claims a legitimate subject for investigation by the Government ib the firing on the Little Bill on a navigable stream. The Judge refuses to talk for pub lication, but his views were ob tained from a friend. The Judge insists that it is a case for Uncle Sam and a time for the American eagle to scream. The Little Bill, it appears, according to the statements of John McCurry, who was badly injured, carried the American flag. Kot a firearm was on the boat, and it was engaged in a. peaceful mission of conveying two barges up the river. The crew, it is argued, were doing their duty when they were fired npon from the shore. .The fact that the barges contained an armed band of Pinkerton men is not a question for consid eration, say those who take this view of the difficulty. Firing on a Elver Steamer. A recent case is cited that was tried be fore Judge Heed and conducted by District Attorney Lyon. During the last high water jn the Ohio, a steamboat was coming up the river. The water had almost reached the second stories of houses along the banks, and the waves made by the boat THE PITTSBURQ- forced the water through the win dows into the buildings. The people on the roof fired on the. steam boat, and their conduct was held as repre hensible by the court On the other hand Major Brown holds that the Monongahela in the present case is nothing but a publio highway, and the fact that the firing oc curred on the river makes no more differ ence than if the riot had taken place on Smithfield street In both instances the State authorities must take cognizance of the case and not the general government Mr. Lyons also claims that phele Sam has nothing to do with the trouble. He does not agree with "Major Brown, however, that the river can be re garded as a public road. He thinks that is stretching the comparison too much. What the Firm Will Claim.' It is understood that the attorneys for the iron firm will lay great stress on the claim that the flag was-nred upon, and will ask the Congressional Committee to investigate and make a report on this point It was suggested that the use of the flag could be prevented, and that it is not fair to drag the Government into the controversy because the Xiittle Bill carried the stars and Stripes. The reply was made that the argument was getting away from J the question at issue. It is insisted by some that as McCurry was shot while doing his duty on a boat that was plying in a navigable stream and flying the American flag, his case is similar to the assault on Yankee sailors by the Chileans, and the Government can't escape from taking note of it Approval ot the Investigation. As for the Congressional Committee, the people are glad to see it come. William Witherow, ot the Duquesne, said: "I don't see what the committee can do to help the present trouble, but it can provide for the future. The presence of the committee will have a soothing effect on the excited peo ple. A fall and fair investigation is needed." Superintendent Luckey said: "I don't know enough about the case, but no harm can be done by an investigation. Congress ought to do something." Superintendent Elliott Holbrook, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, laughed when asked what he thought of the committee, and replied: "The Congressmen can run up a hotel bill anyhow. I suppose it is their business to look into the trouble." Captain Orcutt, of the St Charles Hotel, said: "The Congressional investigation is a good thing, but" it must be conducted without political bias. This is a Demo cratic committee, but in such a case politics must be laid aside. I hope it will result in a great deal of good." Sizing Up Uncle Sam's Authority. There is little doubt that the question will be raised before the committee as to how far the general Govern ment will go, or ought to go, to pro tect steamboats and their crews while operating on navigable waters of the United States. There are many nice points con nected with this question, and their discus sion before the committee will be closely watched. All ot the gentlemen of the committee are lawyers of the highest standing in their States and in the House of Representatives, and all pleasing in person and address. Mr. Oates, the Chairman, is 57 years old, tall and stout, with florid countenance, gray hair and mustache. He was a colonel In the Confederate army, and left his right arm on the field in front of Richmond in 1864. He is a self-educated man, but has been very successful in law and politics, and has served continuously in Congress since his first term, the Forty-seventh. Boatner is a stout man of medium height, only 44 years old, a prince of good fellows, a thorough lawyer, and, though represent ing a rural district, has given much thought to the labor problem. He takes and reads carefully many of the leading labor papers, and possibly has reached many of his con clusions from them. Acquainted With labor Troubles. Bynum is a tall man with a stoop and a black mustache, who has been in politics all his life; is 45 years old and is in his fourth term in Congress. He has probably had a more Intimate acquaintance with labor troubles than any other member of the committee. Ezra B. Taylor is the successor of Gar field, in the Nineteenth Ohio district, and has served since Garfield was elected Presi dent He is an eloquent, incisive lawyer, an old Abolitionist, with broad views on the labor question not derived from the mere philosophical literature on the sub ject He is now serving his sixth term in Congress. Judge Broderick went .to Kansas from Indiana in the fervent days of 1858. He is 53 years old, three times elected Probate Judge of his county, served in the State Senate, and was Associate Justice of the supreme uourt oi Idaho lor lour years under President Arthur. He Is a first termer in Congress, but has forged well to the front Good IT Kept Ont or Politics. City Attorney Moreland said yesterday the investigation would be productive of great good if the efforts of the committee were not prostituted to partisan political ends. "I believe that will be the aim of the committee of both houses," continued the Major, "and as usual in such cases the majority and minority will each present a report specially made up to influence the November elections. There is no doubt of the necessity of a thorough, non-partisan investigation of the differences existing be tween the capital and labor people of to-day. There seems to be a growing hostility be tween the two sides and for the future of the Republic some official system of arbitra ment should be arranged at once. This is a work which rises high above any political consideration. It should be carried out with the greatest unbiased judgment of onr broadest minded statesmen so that it shall not be that capital will be placed in such a position that it will make its investments in fear and trembling or that labor will be overridden and en slaved as the disposition is to-day. All this must be worked out by men of judg ment enough to overlook any personal or party interest. It cannot be done by a com mission of partisans or political dema gogues. May Do Some Good, Anyway. Ex. Collector Warm castle thinks the committee will do seme good even if the purpose of its members is the collection of campaign thunder. 'They will have power to subpoena every person interested in the matter, even Mr. Frick himself. That gentleman will have to talk then. He is a man of detail and keeps in close touch with the business in his charge. The firm keeps its business down to a remarkable system and great as its interests are an official can tell on a moment's notice, any' day in the week, the exact amount of stock on hand, where it is and.what it is all worth. They take stock every day. With such details ac cessible to the committee much interesting matter can be produced with reference to the cost of making iron or steel, the effects of free trade or protection on the business and 'the figure cut by the workingmen's wages. "I think the men at Homestead will be beaten without a doubt -They cannot with stand the National Guard or Begular Army, either or both of which would necessarily be called out if the protection or possession of the property of the company demanded. The interests of this city demands, to a large extent, that the company shall win, or that a compromise shall be effected. This strife is seriously affecting the business of our city. People from other cities won't come here so long as this state of affairs continues, and unless it is speedily settled, with the law on top, capital will avoid this locality. Hen will fear to invest in a dis trict where a few thousand men can take the law Into their own hands and defy the local and State Governments. There is no danger in this city, but people Irom other cities don't know that " Afraid of Campaign Thunder. Mayor Gourley thinks the object of the Congressional inquiry meant only the man ufacture of Jree trade gush by the Demo crats for campaign purposes and it would therefore be incumbent npon the Eepub lican majority in the Senate to work on the ame line for their party to counteract the DISPATCH. MONDAY, Democratic! thunder. "I "think both par ties will make a mistake," said His Honor, "in meddling with such a serious matter in such a trifling way. I am afraid the com mittee will simply ignore the most import ant duty before Congress to-day by fulling to go to the root of the labor problem. .They should study this great question closely and evolve a plan to prevent such confliefs as that now in progress at Homestead, but they will not" Councilman J. 0. O'Donnell, although a good Democrat, takes little stock in the in vestigation, even if it is ordered by a Democratic Congress. "It will amount to nothing for the worklngman's benefit," he said, "because those men in Congress care nothing for him. The Congressmen and Senators are after, votes now, and will do anything in their investigation to put their their opponents to a disadvantage for the next election. If any plan I have yet heard talked of is passed into a law, equita ble as the law might be on' the face of it, the workingman wonld in the end get the worst of it, as he always does." . MAY ALTER THE PLANS. The Investigating Committee Not Anxious to Court Any Dancer. Washington, July 10. SpeciaL The news that Governor Pattison has ordered out to. Homestead the National Guard of Pennsylvania will probably result in a change of plans of the Congressional Inves tigating Committee. The intention was for the committee to leave for Pittsburg to morrow evening. It is unlikely, however, that the committee will leave until order is restored at Homestead. "It would be useless for us to attempt to hold an investigation amid rioting and con fusion," said Bepresentative Boatner. a member of the committee, late to-night "No headway whatever could be made. Whether we go to-morrow evening or not will depend entirely upon to-morrow's de velopments at Homestead." ARBITRATION THE MEANS By Which the Bomostead Difficulties Afay be Settled Differences of Opinion .Among the Workers as to.the Feasi bility of the Plan. There is a fair chance that the mill men will consent to have the present issue between them and the Carnegie company adjusted by a Board of Arbi tration. There are men in Homestead who were willing yesterday to place their grievances before a Board of three fair minded and disinterested men and abide by the decision. There were others, and among .them were a number of the leaden of the locked-out men, who were opposed to the introduction of this proposed Board of Arbitration and made no hones in saying so. They argued that there exists in Homestead sufficient brains to wrestle fairly with the momentous problem and insist that if the question is to be settled by arbitration the men must take an active Dart in the proceedings. Careful inquiry among the rank and file of the men reveals the fact that the general sentiment is pretty evenly divided between the advo cates of outside arbitration and the oppon ents of the scheme. Last night one of the most conservative of the strikers gave a Dispatch man a rough ontline of the plans of the projected arbitration plan. "I don't care to have you use mv name." he said, "but my idea is this: Suppoie.if the gentleman can be induced to act, that James G. Blaine, of -Maine, Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and Governor Pattison, of Penn sylvania, be asked to hear both sides ot this great question. Than let them make a rigid investigation and finally, after due deliber ation, render decision. Of course it would be necessary to gain the consent of both the men and the Company before this scheme could be tested, but in the opinion ot many of us this is the only possible way out of the existing difficulty. I merely suggested the names of Blaine, McKinley and Patti son, but any three men ot known ability and honesty would satisfy me." In direct contradiction to this pacific talk for peace and harmony are the words of another man who from the first day of the trouble has occupied a high place in the councils of the mill men. When asked to give his views on the arbitration scheme he said: "No, we are opposed to lugging any out siders into this business. The men are, and for that matter always have been ready to arbitrate this difficulty, but they insist that they must be a party to the proceedings, and believe that they possess the brains and ability to hold up their end of the discus sion. " I don't think any other scheme of ar bitration will furnish a satisfactory solu tion." Knowing all these things, it was exceed ingly difficulty to size up with any degree of accuracy, the situation. The fact that the famous Advisory Committee had been reorganized and was ready to do business at the old shop, linked with the knowledge that representatives of the National-Association oi Machinists have spent the past 24 hours in Homestead in close conference with the mill men, was proof satisfactory to a majority of Homestead's citizens that the men have no idea of agreeing to aov com promise, and were preparing tor a long and bitter conflict BEOTJGHT BACK TO LIFE. The Advisory Committee Kevlvlflsd by the Bom-stead Workrrj. The corpse of that famous body, the Advisory Committee, was officially re vivified last night at Homestead. This interesting bit of modern political surgery was performed in a 'private room in Head quarters HalL The proceedings were held behind closed doors and only a chosen few of the trusted leaders of the mill men were present Later on the reporters were in vited to enter and they were given this report of what had been done by the Chairman of the committee: The Advisory Committee consisting of SO Homestead citizens has been formally reor ganized. The committee and Its old officers from now on will devote its energies to the taskof maintaining order In and aDout Home stead and protecting the plant and property of the Carnegie Company. The members of the committe declined to talk for publication but one ot them gravely affirmed that the reorganization of the com mittee had been accomplished without any friction and that the proceedings had been harmonious throughout SYMPATHY FOB HOMESTEAD.

WILLIOCONFER, Amalgamated Men Meet and Appoint a Committee to Visit Mr. .Frick TO BEOPEN NEGOTIATIONS; Discnssing the State of Affairs at the Homestead Mills. TALKS FROM L0CKED-0DT MEN. Possible Effect of a Refusal to Meet With the Committeemen. NO TIME FOE THE CALL FIXED UPON About 300 men, all members of the Amal gamated Associaton of Iron and Steel Workers, gathered in Union Hall, on the corner of Thirty-second street and Liberty avenue, yesterday afternoon. The majority of the delegation were employes of the Upper and Lower Union mills and the Key stone Bridge Company, which are operated by the Carnegie Steel .Company. There were several prominent men from" Home stead present, who took an active part in the discussion. The meeting was called in pursuance of a notice made public on Saturday night in which it was stated that all members of the Amalgamated Association living In that district were invited to attend a general conference at which the trouble at Home stead would be reviewed and steps taken to have the difficulty settled. The time set for the beginning of the meeting was 3 o'clock, but it was nearly 4 when Vice President John Sheehan called the assem blage to order. After a few preliminary remarks in which the object to be accomplished was set forth, several speakers were called upon to make addresses. The remarks of these men outlined the present dispute of the wage question at Homestead. A Speaker From Homestead. David Lynch, one of the Homestead representatives, was called upon to make an address. His remarks were brief and similar to his predecessors, confined to a mere statement of the trouble between the Homestead workmen and the Carnegie Steel Company. His words were so couched as not to influence the men in any way. After the speakers had all retired it was decided that a committee of five men be ap pointed to see General Manager Frick, of the Carnegie Steel Company, and see if some plan conld not be formulated by which negotiations between the Homestead work men and the firm could be reopened. After the committee had been appointed a motion was made to adjourn and was carried. Vice President Sheehan was seen immedi ately. When asked what had been accom plished he said: "We had a very friendly meeting. The entire session was devoted to the discussion of the Homestead wage ques tion, and how the conference between the firm and the workmen could be once more opened. A committee of five men, whose names I do not care to make public, was ap pointed to wait on the Carnegie Steel Com pany. What time the committee will see the officials of the company I do not know. They will hold a meeting very probably to night and decide upon some plan." Tbe Question Was Not Discussed. When asked if it was true that unless the Carnegie Steel Company reopened its nego tiations with the Homestead men'the Amal gamated Association would call out all of the employes of the Union mills, Mr. Shee han said that qnestion was not discussed at this afternoon's meeting. "We simply met as arbitrators," continued Mr. Sheehan, "and before taking any further action we will wait and hear the report of the com mittee we appointed." Notwithstanding Mr. Sheehan'i reticence itwas common gossip outside of the hall after the meeting that the committee would wait on Mr. Prick this afternoon or to-morrow, and immediately after they had re ceived Mr. Prick's answer another meeting would be called to consider what should be done in case a negative reply is given. In a conversation with one of the dele gates, who refused to reveal his name, it was said: "The Amalgamated Association employes of the Union mills had for some time past concluded they had made a mis take in accenting the signature of the Car negie Steel Company for the Union mills as a great deal of the work formerly done in Homestead was now accomplished at those plants. If Mr. Prick refuses to reconsider the firm's action in refusing to sign the Homestead scale it is probable all-the men in the Union and Beaver Palls mills will be called out to aid the locked-out work men. This movement on the part of the men will be far easier now since General Manager Frick has frequently said he will never more recognize the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers." INDORSED BY PRINTERS. They Uphold the Action of the Locked-Out Men at Homestead and Want tin Pink ertons Abolished Want the Library Money Betnrned. Members of Typographical Union No. 7 held a special meeting yesterday afternoon. There was a very large attendance, nearly every union printer in the city being pres ent. The men were called together to take action on the Homestead trouble. After some discussion it was decided to appoint a committee to prepare resolutions. The committee! was composed of George R. Dab ney, Thomas McNamee, W. F. Wetzel, Thomas J. Dicus and O. A. Williams. They reported as follows: WnEBEAS, The disastrous results of the J iockouc oiourienow woiKmenaiuomesicau during tbe past week when hireling off scourings of onr country were mustered and armed to shoot down uprlgnt, honorable and peaceful citizens, who were standing for their rights and homes, has cansed a thrill of Indignation to circle round the civilized globe; and Whereas, The primary cause of this de plorable and bloody lesult of what was meant by the workmen to be a friendly con troversy, In which reason, not force, was meant to be tho moving factor, has. In our opinion, been brought on solely thiough the grasping greed or sordid parvonues and un alterable antagonism to organized labor, therefore be It Resolved, That Typographical Union No. 7 heartily sympathizes with our brother workmen and fellow citizens In the calamity and takes the occasion to tender to them our moral, pbysloal and financial assistance to oar utmost limit In resistance to tyranulcal force and In defense of their firesides and families. Uesolved, That we believe the tlmo lias rome v hen tbe workmen of Allegheny county should arise in their might and de mand of our law makers that meed of pro tection which heretofore has lu fact been accorded only to the capitalistic class; that the time has come when "Sup to Cerberus" in the shape or publio libraries, etc, cut no longer be accepted as full payment for all tbe outrages heaped mpon our people by corporation gluttons- who seem to have power to com mand the officers of the people to obey their will and countenance tbeir deeds of darkness and. violence; that we call upon the officers of our city and mem bers of ourCounclIs.to recall the acceptance of the recent sift or a publio library to the "worklngmen" of this city, whloh, regard less or our wish, has been located beyond our roach; that we declare that the honest workmen of Plttsburg.cannot without loss of manhood and self-respect, accept, even in name, a gilt that has been purchased In the slightest part by the blood of our fellow workmen. Besolved, That we urge upon the mem bers of the next legislature the necessity of enacting such laws m will forever pro- hibittbe Importation of armed bodies of men otner tnan those provided bvtue con stitution of the State and General Govern ment to menace the laws of our fellow-citizens. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions do nanaea to lion. i. u uonriey tor presen tation to Council?, to the officers of the A. A. of I & S.

Around the headquarters of the workmen at Homestead yesterday were gathered only a few of the recognized leaders, and not a score of their followers. A Dispatch repre sentative questioned a number of them on their probable attitude should the National Guard be ordered to Homestead. A member of the old .Advisory Com mittee said: "I do not believe that a shot will be fired as long as the militia are here, provided they should be ordered out The steel company will no doubt rush in black legs to fill onr places, but I do not believe they can get enough men to work more than one or two departments. The blacklegs cannot get food or lodging in this place, as everybody is in sympathy with us. The trouble "if any will come ifter the troops leave. They will not be kept here more than two or three eeks, and when they go the scabs will go with them or join onr' association. This I believe is the only practical plan. It would be the sheer est folly for us to fight the militia, as we would certainly get the worst of the battle. With the Pinkertons we had a chance to win, and we won. While the troops are here the company will probably bring in Pinkerton men, hut yon can rest assured that they will not linger in these parts long after the militia is removed."
