" .'
I
js not In very Rood taste, but I desire the
facts or ray surrender in the Criminal Court
Bet botore the public, and I dsliit distinctly
understood that tliore uaano intentional
bravado nor studied effect nor anytnins of
tliat kind.
Siij- His Arrest Is Unjust.
As is now well known, I hastened bere
from Xcw Tork when 1 teamed tbat a
wairant bad been issued for my arrest, and
wired friends to secure counsel and bonds
men. I had pie-arranged to come to the city
on tbo earliest train possible and avoid the
Isnomlny of arrest by surrendering. But,
being unable to find my a.ttornevs; havinjj
no one else qualified to advise in c" and being
Ignorant of tticluetbods of legal prooedures,
1 himplydld -what I thought was mydutv
under the circumstances. I did not think
my giving myself up in Criminal Court a
heroic act, but on the contrary a verv pain
ful one indeed for an American.
Surely the criticisms or mv surrender and
the manner of it are unjust and, to say tlyi
le.ist. uncharitable, when the defenceless
position I now occupy is considered. I have
no desire to poe as a martvr, but though I
now occupy a prison cell, my reputation is
as dear to mo as anv maivs, and I will de
lend it to the la-t.
The fact that I did not meet my lawyers at
the appointed time ws the result xi amis
understanding, which has since been ex
plained to my entire satisfaction. I would
Etate that I have implicit faith in them and
a high appreciation of their abilities, and
will bo guided by tlieir wise counsels to tbo
cud.
Has Not Tiren Iut on Prison Fura.
I would turthcr state that the dialoznc be
tween Attorney Cox and myseir in the jail
corridor is not absolutely true ai)d the facts
are somewhat distorted. Nor yet is it true
that Warden McAleese has lorbidden me to
j-eceive visitors. It is at my own request
that they are not admitted, lor the reason
that the strain of the past few weeks, loss of
sleep and rest and irregular meals has
totally unfitted me for almost everything.
The Wat den has been verr kind ami 1ms
.allowed me the same privileges as the other
inmates, and the statement tbat he ordered
me back to my cell and to be kept strictly
on prison taie is absolutely false. While an
Inmate hcie I, ot course, am amenable to
the discipline w liich is necessary to control
an institution ot till- kind.
I must add that it I am compelled to un
dergo confinement it will kill me. as the ex-po-ure
of the p.-.-it few weeks has completely
feliattered my once rugged constitution.
Thev were nli
in the "Warden's private office, and, as usual
in such cases, eight or nine men were ranged
upin a row in the jail. One man went in at
a time, and each claimed to have identified
O'Donnell. Tliey did not state who they
were, thongh it was rumored they were
Pinkertons who had been in the mill the
day of the fight. This could not be proved,
however.
Evpect a 525.009 R.-dl Bond.
One of the attorneys for the prosecution
said he would have a large number ot wit
nesses In court in the morning. He said
O'Donnell would not be released on bail.
The Amalgamated popie are estimating
that the bond will be fixed at 525,000. The
attorneys on the other side, however, claim
O'Donnell is sure to be released. Yester
day thev did not fhake any move toward
arresting the officials.
Secretary Lovejoy was seen yesterday af
ternoon and said ihere was no change in the
situation at the Upper and Lower Union
Mills and that no union men would be em- )
ployed. There are now 354 workmen in the
.Homestead nri'ls. The Tide took up 52 of
them yesterday.
yir. Lovejoy was asked whether he feared
a Etrike by the coke workers and said: "I
don't believe there is much danger of a
strike there, hut if there is it will not affect
us. "We now have 100,000 tons ol coke on
hand at Braddock, which is enough to last
for six or nine months.
"We are getting along all right "We
promised to start the mills on July 21 aud
to-day we turned out a fine quality of
plate at Homestead. Tiie men we have
there now are just as skilled as the ones
that went out. Although we have declared
that none of the old men could return after
yesterday we meant that their old places
would only be held open that long. "We
will take them back, but they , will have to
take their chances at getting agood place."

they say the train did not stop at that

The limited hasn't been stopped for the

HISTORY OP THE FIFTH KEGIMENT
The Third Brigade of the National Guard
will be withdrawn from Camp Sam Black
within 24 hours. An order to that effect
was made yesterday by Major General
Snow den. The order was not issued last
night, but it is expected that it will reach
the Third Brigade headquarters this morn
ing and will be extended down along the
line at once.
The Second Brigade will "remain in pos
session of Homestead for some time longer,
when it too will be withdrawn, leaving only
one regiment of volunteers, composed of
probably 1,000 men, who will enlist for the
occasion, and will be kept at Camp Sam
Black until the present troubje there is ad
justed. A number of deputy sheriffs went to
Homestead yesterday, and at once relieved
THE SKIRMISH 1XSTB
the militiamen of much of their work. The
deputies practically assumed possession of
the place, and they patroled the streets
without interference. The withdrawal of
the soldiers will, it is believed, transfer the
keeping of the place into the,hands of the
Sheriff, who has been at Homestead since
the military arrived there.
Governor Fattlson li-avcs tlin Camp.
Governor Pattison and his staff concluded
their visit to Camp Sam Black yesterday
morning, and shortly after 11 o'clock they
took a train from Homestead to Brinton.
They afterward came to Pittsburg, and at
12:5" the Governor left in his private car
for cdford, where his wife and family have
been stopping. Before leaving the Union
station Governor Pattison said he was
greatly gratified by the appearance and con
dition of the troops. He believed them to
be equal in every wav to regulars, but he
would say nothing as to their future move
ments. He left here, however, content in
the opinion that the bulk of the trouble
was over at Homestead, and that a conflict
between the strikers and the military is im
probable. The soldiers suffered unmercifully from
the heat yesterday. The Fourteenth Kegi
ment was dong provost duty through the
streets of the town and six members of the
command were carried to their quarters,
having been overcome by the heat. Ed
ward Gire, of A Company; James Nesbitt,
of C Company, and Sergeant Shubert, of G
Company, suffered slight sun strokes and
were sent to the hospital. The others'were
sent to their tents and soon recovered.
James Henry, of K Company, Tenth Regi
ment, suffered a sun stroke while on
dress parade during the evening. One
spasm followed another with him until 9
o'clock last night, when he. showed signs of
improvement. Surgeon Neff said he would
recover.
S?veral Terr Sick Men.
Surgeon Foster, who had charge of the
several cases in the Fourteenth Kegiment,
said 4ast night that all his patients were
very sick, but he believed all will recover.
The heat all the day was oppressive, aud
even after the sunset gun had been fired
the air was sultry and the soldiers were dis
tressed until the night brought a cool breeze
that seemed to revive everybody and made
the life of the soldiers bearable for the time
at least
The first court-martial of the encampment
was held yesterday, and two of the guards
were tried on the charge of diso
beying orders and being absent from
camp without leave. The guardsmen
charged were Sergeant Thomas Car
roll, of II Company, Ninth Regi
ment, and Corporal John Sheridan,
of C Company, Niuth Kegiment. Both
men were found on the streets of Home
stead in citizen's dress. The court was com
posed of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Cour
sen, of the Thirteenth Kegiment; Major J.
P. Biddle.of the Twelfth Kegiment; Captain
E. G. Shein, A Company, Eighth Kegi
ment; Lieutenant H. It. Morling, B Com
pany, Thirteenth Regiment; Second Lieu
tenant E. K. McVcagh, of G Company,
Twellth Regiment, and Major John B.
Albro, Judge Advocate of Genera!
Gobin's stall". The cases of the
men accused were heard. Sergeant Carroll
was found guilty of the charges. He was
fined 525 and was reduced to the ranks.
Corporal Sheridan was found not guilty.
He proved that be had been sent through
the lines by his ranking officers. The find
ing of the court martial had a depressing
efiect on all the soldiers in camp and each
day they seem to realize more fully that
they are'not at Homestead to enjoy a sum
mer vacation.
Anniversary or tlia ntUbnrg Riot.
Yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary
of tbe Pittsburg riots, and the subject was
discussed by all the old guardsmen in camp.
The present magnificent organization of
soldiers grew out of the labor troubles,
when the soldiers were called out to quell
the unrisinir alone the Pennsylvania Rail
road. There was practically no military
organization in the State, What was then
THE
known as the militia was split up
into divisions and each division
had a major general and n long
list of staff officers. General Gobin said yes
terday that there were at that time more
officers than soldiers, and the officers and
men did not number 2,000. Since then,
however, the National Guard has been
formed, and the officers and men number
nearly 8,500, with but one Major General
and only three Brigadier Generals and the
other officers necessary. Brigadier Gener
als Gobin, Dechert "and "Wiley deserve
much credit lor the growth of the State
armv, but the riots of 1877 made the organ
ization necessary.
The boys in the Thirteenth Regiment
spent an cnjovable time yesterday notwith
standing the heat. Some of them slipped a
keg of beer into their camp. They had
it kept cool and fresh, and then they posted
a snap shot photographer in a tent in full
view of the tent in whieh the beer was con
cealed. Then the boys went about and in a
quiet way gave out the tip on the beer, and
as each man walked up to steal a drink he
was caught in the act by the artist.
Caught by the Kodack.
Last night all the photographs were
turned over to the Colonel of the regiment
and uaptains, Lieutenants and other othcers
are there, many of them drinking and others
with their glasses raised almost to their
lips. The photographs, it is said by the
Colonel, will be kept as mementos, of the
encampment, as many ot those caught in
the act are violent temperance men wjien at
home.
On the parade ground yesterday no regi
ment attracted more attention than the
Fifth, which is accepted as one of the
crack regiments of the second brigade.
The Filth Regiment was organized in
September, 1874, by the election of Captain
James F. Miliken, of Hollidaysburg, Pa.,
as Colonel. Colonel Miliken was succeeded
in 1877 by Colonel P. B. Wilson, of Belle
fontc, Pa! Colonel Wilson died in Febrn
ary, 1878. An election for Colonel was held
at Huntingdon, Pa., March 28. 1878, when
Theodore Burchfield, ot Altoona, Pa., was
elected Colonel, Captain D. H. Hastings,
of Bellefonte, Pa., Lieutenant Colonel, and

The Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment
is Amos Mullen, of Bellefonte, formerly
Captain of Company B. He is an old
soldier and was elected to his present posi

He is a lawyer by profession and is a good

The regiment was on duty 21 days during
the riots of 1877, and has always been rated
among the best in the State. At the in

WON BY THE CORPORAL
A Strlppllng With a Bayonet forces an
Apology From a Fnll FJrdcetl Mnjor In
Uniform Officers Are Not Allowed to
Drlnfe Whinkr.
O'Brien's restanrant in Homestead was
the scene of a strange military quarrel.
Several officers in full uniform and a Home-
btead merchant were there at dinner, when
a pinch cheeked youth of 20, in a corporal's
uniform, entered. He brought the tip of
his bayonet to the breast of a very old and
very distinguished looking Major, and in a
rasping voice exclaimed:
"I must know what you gentlemen have
ordered. We hare orders to arrest all offi
cers and men we find drinking Inthctown."
The astonished Major pushed the business
end of the corporal's bayonet to one side
and ordered him to "clear out" The cor
poral obeyed, but five minutes later re
turned with his commanding' officer, Cap
tain C. M. Clement, of Company
E, Twelfth Regiment, who was
in command of the squad of soldiers sta
tioned at the neighboring railway station.
After the usual military salute 'had been
given and returned, Captain Clement de
manded that the assembled company apolo
gize to his corporal. In vain the elderly
Major protested that the corporal had been
impudent and that furthermore a corporal
had no right to interfere with commissioned
officers, least of all threaten to arrest, them.
Captain Clement wns adamant. "Gentle
men," he said, "we are doing provost guard
duty, and one of our instructions is to fol
low any private or officer whocnters asaloon
or hotel. If we find him drinking any
variety of stimulating waters we must place
him under arrest and conduct him to the
Provost Marshal. The corporal simplv did
his duty, and you haVe insulted me. I now
demand an apology, or I will report your
names to the Provost Marshal."
One of the officers explained that they had
no idea of doing anything wrong, and
had ordered nothing to drink. The explana
tion did not satisly Captain Clement He
gravely aflimed that an apology was neces
sary, and after a long wrangle he carried

apologizing to a very red and excited cor
poral. The apology once given, Captain
Clement nodded his bead, saluted, and then
guided his happy corporal oat of the place
and then came the odd climax of this epi
sode. The captain and his men had hardly
disappeared aronnd the corner when the
silver-haired major gave the wink to the
waiter and with a knowing smile mur
mured: "Serve the gentleman with whisky
and water."
S0LDIEKS LOSING THEHt JOBS.
Employers Claim They Are Compelled to
HlrnOthrr Men.
Some of the militia are getting very tired
oftheir stay at Homestead. A number ot
the boys have already lost their jobs, and
thejr are becoming impatient to get away.
An Allegheny merchant has two book
keepers at Homestead. He said they were
first-class men, but he bad to get others to
fill their places. He was sorry that he bad
to cast his old employes aside, but lie can't
run his business without bookkeepers, and
it is impossible to hire men temporarily.
It is a question ameng lawyers whether a
man can be discharged for doing his dnty to
the State. The laws protect witnesses and
jurors, and the judges have been severe
upon employers who kicked out employes
for losing time serving on a jurv. It is
claimed that the same" principle will apply
to soldiers
H0EBEBACK WEESTLING,
Members of the PhllndnlpliU Troop In
du'ce In a Little Sport.
The City Troop managed to break the
monotony of camp life yesterday afternoon
by a series of wrestling matches on horse
back. This is a sporty indulged in a great
deal in the armories by all Eastern troops,
and yesterday, notwithstanding the fact that
the horses were not trained for the purpose,
the boys succeeded in getting quite a little
amusement. The contestants were Messrs.
Biddle, Smith, Merrill, Wagner, Glenden
ing and Tilghman.
One ot the subjects most discussed among
the boys is that of returning home. They
are milking all sorts of specnlation as to
when that will be and say it can come none
too soon to suit them.
LETTERS OF SYMPATHY.

n. Largn Snin of Money.
Letters of sympathy, many of which con
tain substantial financial aid in the form of
checks and drafts, are received in every
mail by President "Weihe, of the Amal
gamated Association. The correspondence
has recently attained such great proportions
that the entire time of Mr. Weihe and
President-elect Garland Is taken up in giv
ing proper attention to the communications.
"When the last mail was delivered yester
day a count of the letters received at the
headquarters of the Amalgamated Associa
tion during the day revealed that the num
ber far exceeded that of any other day since
the trouble. Immediately upon his arrival
at the office in the morning President Weihe
gathered up the mass of correspondence and,
placing it in a large basket, carried it into
thp nntn-rnnm. calling in Mr. Garland.
j The two officials spent the entire day and
the greater part ol the evening in ac
knowledging the receipt of the letters.
Many of the communications containing
financial aid were from prominent busi
ness and banking houses all over
the country, with an eqnal number
from labor organizations, but in nearly
every instance the contributors asked
tbat their names be kept a secret About
the first envelope opened contained a brief
letter and check from the United Green
Glass Workers' Union. The check was for
51,000, and the letter which accompanied
stated that in case the amount proved in
sufficient more could be obtained on re

PnrLADELrniA, July 22. SjxxtalJ
Although the Carnegie Steel Company and
its selling agent, J. Ogden Hoffman, of this
city, say they are not advertising or solicit
ing for men to take the place of the strikers
at Homestead, inquiries in this city show
the contrary to be the case. Mr. Huffman
said to-day lie was not advertising for men,
jrhd that the high scale ot wages paid at
Homestead was attracting men from all over
the country, and those who gave evidence of
being skilled laborers were employed at
once.
The manager ofthe Merchants' Union
Employment Bureau, when asked whether
he had'received auy order from the Car
negie Company for skilled or unskilled
labor, said that, while he had nothing to say
regarding orders, he believed all employ
ment bureaus bad received tbe same orders
us the Merchants' Union, and he had sent
14 men to Mr. Hoffman, and would continue
to send them as fast as they applied. At
the Trades' Bureau the manager to-day as
sured a reporter of The Dispatch tbat the
Trades' Bureau was the only ' bureau in
Philadelphia that had a contract with the
Carnegie Company at Homestead to furnish
non-union men, and that they had iul
power to make contracts with the men,
transport them to Homestead, and, in fact,
that they attended to all details. The
manager also showed a list at 3 o'clock ot 60
men, saying:
"I have got these 60 men," pointing to
the list; "how many more I will have before
night 1 can't say, hut all who apply will be
employed if qualified. The men will meet
in this office at 7 o'clock, and will leave
here in a body for the Broad street station
and take the 0:20 train for Homestead."
The contract made by the Trades Bureau
is that the men be transported to Home
stead, ted and lodged at tbe Carnegie works
until such time as they desire to leave or it
would be advisable to seek lodgings else
where. They further agree that in the case
of all of the men who remain at work two
months, the .cost of transportation will not
be deducted' from their wages but those
leaving previous to that time will have the
ampunt charged to them.

SATURDAY, JULY 23,
HELD By DEPUTIES,
Sheriff McCleary Officially
Takes Charge of Home
stead Borough.
WAENED TO LEAVE AT ONCE
Eviction Notices Are Posted on the
Company's Houses.
MEN MUST VACATE IN TEN DATS.
County Officers Given Power to Call On
tbe State Troops.
SOLDIERS WILL STAT OUT OP TOWN
At Governor Fattison's suggestion Sheriff
McCleary Is filling Homestead with depu
ties, and the streets last night were
patrolled by both the huge starred deputies
and the provost guard of tbe militia.
Whether this is an intimation that the
guards will be recalled within a short time
or merely the doing away with the provost
guard is a question that is at present agi
tating the minds of the citizens of Home
stead as well as the soldiers themselves.
Various rumors were afloat all day yester
day, and some even went so far as to de
clare a deputation of Homestead citizens had
called upon the Governor and requested him
to withdraw the provost guard, as the citi
zens of Homestead consider their presence in
the light of an affront. This rnmor was denied
by General Snowden, although he admitted
the idea of patrolling the borough of Home
stead with deputy sheriffs and restricting
tbe militia to Mifflin township, where the
Carnegie works are situated, except in
times of trouble, was originally Governor
Pattison's.
Deputies Take Charge of HomwtMd.
Sheriff McCleary sent a deputation of 17
men to Homestead yesterday afternoon
under the direction of Deputy Sheriff
Bradey. The men are large, powerful
looking fellows and upon the lapel of their
coats the great star of their office is con
spicuously worn. They were curiously
received by loungers about the
depots and stores throughout the
village who did not seem to
know whether to welcome them or not.
The deputies were marched in a rather erratio
line to the quarters of Colonel Greene, the
Provost Marshal of the day, by one of the
officera who had been assigned to the task of
introducing them to the military officers
and men by General Snowden.
That the presence of some of them was in
direct contradiction to their wishes was
illustrated when a till fellow, with power
enough for three ordinary men, remarked
in the hearing of a Dispatch correspond
ent that he wished he was five miles away.
The formal introduction of the depnties to
tbe guardsmen was tedlons and somewhat
tiresome, to say nothing of the sufferings
from the excessive heat the men were com
pelled to undergo.
Deputies Authorized (o Call tbe Troops.
The provost guard will not be sent ont
to-day, and the deputies, together with the
policemen of Homestead appointed by the
Advisory Committee, will preserve peace
and order within the precincts of the
"borough.. In case of any disturbance in
Homestead of any character at all, the
deputies nave been authorized to call upon
the militia for assistance.
The first important work of the new offi
cials was to post eviction notices upon a
number of the company's houses nearby the
mill property. These notices are per
emptory and order the occupants to vacate
within ten davs in order to make room for
the new workmen of the Carnegie Com
pany. The guards, both officers and men, were
instructed to respect the authority of the
deputy sheriff to whom they were to be
subordinated. The guardsmen were also
given to understand that tbe task of polic
ing tbe town of Homestead had been turned
into the hands of the deputy sheriffs and to
the borough officers, the latter ot whom
make a total of 60.
The Guard Will K-ep Outside.
Except on call of the Sheriff's representa
tives the militia in Homestead are to re
strict their operations to looking after their
own members, such for instance, as appre
hending absconders from the ranks, if any,
and enforcing an order iMued last night, pro
hibiting the National Guard from entering
saloons.
General Snowden declined to attempt to
define the respective limits of authority of
tbe militia and deputy sheriffs, and refused
to discuss the reasons for the change in the
situation. He denied emphatically that
any differences existed between himself and
Governor Pattison.
The new arrangement, it should be ex
plained, does not materially alter the condi
tions that have existed in Mifflin township,
which adjoin the borough ot Homestead.
Mifflin township contains the military en
campment ground, all the Carnegie Home
stead mills, and the 50 or more houses be
longing to the Carnegie Company. Home
stead borough is entirely distinct, and is
where the 3)800 locked-out men chiefly le
side. M'CLEARY IS CONSERVATIVE.
Tbo ShoriS Is Beservrd Iteexrdlnc the
Cause of Sending Depnties to Home-it-nd,
bat Says lie (Till Send a Contin
gent to Act a the Clvlf Authority.
More deputy sheriffs will be sent to
Homestead in order to preserve the peace of
the county. Sheriff McCleary was seen last
night at the Tariff Club and stated that -his
intentions were to send a contingent of dep
uties to Homestead, and that in addition to
the eight regulars and nine extras a number
of others would be sent within a short time.
He was averse to giving any more direct
reason for his action than merely that peace
might be observed by the civil authorities,
and that deputies of the County Sheriff
were necessary to do this.
JIs it not "that the militia will soon be
withdrawn and it would be difficult to ob
tain men to go there if that protection is no
more?" queried a Dispatch man.
"I know nothing at all of the intentions
of the military," returned Sheriff McCleary
with some warmth. "If you wish to learn
anvthing about the military you had better
goto General Snowden."
"But there is a well authenticated rumor
in Homestead that such is tbe object you
have in view."
"I am not responsible for rumors, and
have no doubt but what you can hear all
kinds in Homestead if you stay there long
enough."
"Will you send any more deputies to
Homestead?"
"I expect to," replied the Sheriff, de
cidedly. "I expect to send a number alto
gether, but haw soon I shall add to those
already there I cannot say. Seventeen men
went there to-day, eight of whom are my
regular depnties and nine are outsiders."
"Did yon pay any attention to their
prejudices lor or against the locked-out
men?"
"No, I did not I needed some men and
selected those who were obtainable with
out attending to their likes or dislikes to
any extent. I simply engaged them to act
.189a
as deputies of the Sheriff of Allegheny
county. That's all there is to it."
A SACRED PROMISE.
Tbe Advisory Committee- or Homestead
Prepare a Statement In Which They
Fledge the Locked-Ont Workmen tVlll
v Befrnln From Violence.
Kecogriition of tbe law and other peace
ful means as the only elements that should
have part in the settlement of the present
labor difficulty is tbe subject of a new state
ment prepared by the AdvisoryComniittee
at Homestead. The committeemen pledge
themselves and the locked-out workers to
refain from lawlessness and violence. The
statement follows:
The most evident characteristic of. our
time and country Is the phenomenon of In
dustrial centralization, which is putting the
control of each of our great national indus
tries into the hands of one or a few men and
giving these men an enormous and despotic
power over the lives and the fortunes or
tbelr employes and subordinates the great
mass of the people; a power which eviscer
ates our national Constitution and our com
mon low and directly antagonizes the spirit
of universal history in this world-wide
strugsle after lawful liberty a power which,
thonsli expressed In terms of current speech
as "The rlgbt of employers to manage their
business to suit themselves," Is causing to
mean in effect nothing less than a right to
manage the country to suit themselves.
Have Built Up a Town.
The employes in the mill of Messrs. Car
negle, Phlpps A Co., at Homestead, Pa.,
have built there a town with its homes, its
sohools and its churches; have for many
years been faltbful co-workers with the
company in tbe business of tbe mill; bave
invested thousands of dollars of their sav
ings In said mill in the expectation of spend
ing their lives In Homestead and of working
in the mill during the period of their effi
ciency. In addition to the ordinary" gifts
and advantages of our Government tbe Na
tional Legislature has seen fit to specially
foster and protect by public taxation the in
dustry of their mills, and the State or Penn
sylvania Is to-day guarding it at great and
extraordinary expense.
Therefore, the committee desires to ex
press to tbe public as its firm belief that
both tbe public and tbe employes aforesaid
bave equitable rights and interests in the
said mill which cannot be modified or di
verted without due nrocess or law: that the
employes have tbe right to continuous em
ployment in the saldr mill during effi
ciency .and good behavior without regard to
religious, political or economic opinions and
associations; that It is against public policy
and subversive of tbe fundamental princi
ples of American liberty that a whole com
munity of workers should be denied em
ployment or suffer any other social detri
ment on account of membership in a churoh,
a political party or a trades nnlon; that it Is
onr duty as American citizens to resist by
every legal and ordinary means the un
constitutional, anarchic and revolutionary
policy or the Carnegie Company, which
seems to evince a contempt of Dublio and
private Interests and a disdain of the publto
conscience by refusal to
Submit to Lawful Arbitration.
and bv the lawless Importation of a band of
armed mercenaries to forcibly deprive tbe
employes of their equitable rights In ad
vance of any legal adjudication thereupon,
and without previous appeal to the lawful
forces of Allegheny county and the State of
Pennsylvania.
The committee wish It known that we will
prosecute tbe said public and private inter
ests in the courts of law and equity, and
that w.e demand of Congress and tbe State
Legislature distinot assertion or the princi
ple that the public has an interest in snch
concerns as that at Homestead, and that tbe
State has a duty tojudge the affairs of such
concerns when oocaslon may require. Final
ly we desire to state emphatically that as
defenders of and petitioners for law and or
der we pledge ourselves to refrain from vio
lence and lawlessness, and that we rest our
caue, whioh is the people's cause the cause
of American liberty against anarchy on
tho one hand and despotism on tbe other,
with the oourts, the Legislature and tbe
public conscience.
A COLONY IN THE KILLS.
Arrangements Made to Accommodate One
Thousand Workmen.
A member of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, in conversation with a Dispatch re
porter yesterday, said: "It is amazing to
me the position the men are taking in this
matter. They shnt their eyes so they can
not see, and then cry, There are not any
men in the mills; only the bosses are work
ing,' when one glance at the mills, the
greater part of which are now in working
order, would be all that would be required
to convince men possessing the knowledge
they do w of the Homestead mills tbat it
would require several hundred men to keep
up the workings as has been done the past
two days.
"We are receiving new men every day,
and have now quite a little colony behind
tbe board fence. One thousand men can
non- be accommodated within the mill and
live as comfortably as if they were at home.
We are doing our best to provide for the
comfort of the men, and have a doctor
within the inclosure who attends any who
may be taken sick.
"As I walked down street to-day I beard
on all sides very vigorous comments upon
our action in serving eviction notices. The
men seem to think it was a move on our
part to force them to come to our terms.
The firm is not fighting on those lines. It
is an absolute necessity tbat we should nave
those houses or wc will find ourselves at
tne end of the ten days in the peculiar pre
dicament of having workmen with no place
to keep them. No, the men take the wrong
view of the matter entirely."
ENLISTING AT BOSTON.
The Carnegie Company's Office
There
Gathering In the Slen.
Bostox, July 2Z Spwfa'.j-rThat the
Carnegie Company means to carry out its
plans in the Homestead trouble, and fill the
places of the striking workmen with
strangers, is plainly shown here. Its Bos
ton office is busy hiring bricklayers, ma
chinistSgbIacksmiths and engineers, and
without noubt every Carnegie office in the
countrv is doing the same.
To a reporter to-day Mr. Whitman, of the
Boston office, said: "We are looking for
good men to go to work at Homestead. We
will pay them in wages all the way from
52 25 to S4 a day. We ask no questions an
to whether a man is a member of a labor
organization or not. We hire him if he is
a good workman." Mr. Whitman would
not admit that some men had refused to go,
or tell how many workmen the firm had
secured in Boston.
Another Carnegie Boycott.
Wilmington, Dei, July 22. The
workmen employed on the new Shields
library building this morning notified the
contractor that they would not handle any

clouds spread ever the city and for 15 min

Houses Vacated for the Summer Should Be

There was quite an excitement yesterday
afternoon on Arch street, when two police
men climbed in at the front door of a resi
dence at No. 110 to see ifa burglary had
been committed. They found everything
in order, being worried in the first place
only because tho iamily. Charles Knox and
people, were away from home. j This par
ticular house was found to be in good shape,
nobody having entered it, bat Superintend
ent Muth Js not at all pleased by the way
many of the houses in Allegheny have been
left. They are, he says, open to the attacks
of burglars, and at the present time both
cities are filled with men whose business is
to look after just such vacant houses. All
houses vacated for the summer, even if left
in charge of a girl, should be reported to
the Superintendent of Police.
