TREASOI TO THE STATE.
Chief Justice Paxon's Charge
on the Homestead Riot.
A Clear Definition of the Law-
In Lis charge to the Allegheny Coun
ty, r, Grand Jury as to what conslituexi
treason against the State, in the cases
ajainit the Hoested strikers' Aiviao
ry Committee, Chief Justice I'axson left
little room for doubt that the men who
coL.itu.ted the A Irisory Committee were
gni'.ty of murder and treason. The
charge was marked throegbout by a com
prehensive interpretation of the causes
andeTct of the riot, just
how far the
strikers coal J have jrone t ithout com
tnitting treason afaiast the State, and of
their actions which placed them beyond
the pale of the law. Ja:L Taxon said :
GkNTLSHEX OF TH GiASO JcKT. The
Dietrirt Attorney will lay tfore you at
the preoent term one or more indict
ments charging certain parties with the
offence of treason ajainst the Common
wealth of Penwvlvani. In view of the
gravity of the charge the learned jugea
holding the present term of the Court of
Oyer and Terminer for this county have
invited me to come in and give you some
instructions as to the character of the
offence and ycur duties in regard to it.
And that yon mar know that I am net
an:ing to act without right, it is prop
er to say to you that by the express terms
of the Constitution of Pennsylvania the
Justices of the Supreme Court are made
luetic ex-o2icio of the Court of Over
and Terminer in every coonty in the
Slate.
Notwithstanding thia, I would hesitate
to act were it not that the situation is so
grave, and, it is feared, the law so much
misunderstood, that an authoritative ex
position of it seemed necessary in the in
terests of rood government. It havirg
reqtiired the intervention of the Govern
or, as Commander in Chief, and the en
tire military power of the Stats to re
store order, it ass considered proper lor
those highest in position in the Judiciary
Department of the Government to de
clare the law in such manner that it may
be clearly understood. The offence-
charged in the bills of indictment had
heir origin in what arc popularly known
as tne Homestead no's ci last summer.
Many of the incident! f those riots may
be properly referred to as a part of the
history of the times.
THE SATVEE Or THE OFFENCES.
In order that you may the more readi
ly understand the nature of the offences
charged in the bills of indictment, I will
refer briefiy to seme facta corrected with
those disturbances about which I do not
understand there is any dispute. About
the cl?ee of the month cf Jane last a dis
agreement in regard t3 wages a ose be
tween the Carnegie Steel Company, at
what is known as the Homestead works,
and some of its employes- It is not neces
sary that I should refer to the UeUila or
this difficulty farther than to say that the
dispute concerned only a small portion
of tl;e employes of the company, and
those recei ting the highest wages. The
parties being unable to come to an agree
ment that was mutaally satlslactory the
company closed its works oa the SO Ih
day of Jane and discharge its men. So
fr there was no violation of law by any
one: the men had the right to demand
what aaaes they saw fit, and to refuse to
go to work oniess their demand was sat-L-ed.
The company had the right to de
cline to employ the men upon the terms
offered by them and to employ others in
eir stead upon such terms aa could be
agreed upon. This arises from the fact
that the relation of employer and em
ployee is one of contract merely. Neither
party Las a right to coerce the other in
to the making of a contract to which his
mind does not assent. The employer
cannot compel his employe to work a day
longer than he sees fit, nor his contract
calls lor, nor for a wag. that is unsatis
factory to biza. It follows, that the em
ploye cannot compel his employer to
give him work or to enter into a contract
of hiring, much less can he dictate the
terms of employment.
When the negotiations between the
parties came to an end, all contract rela
tions between them ceased ; the men had
no further legal demand upon the com
pany, and ther had no more interest in
or claim opon its property than has a
domestic servant cpon the household
goods of his employer when discharged
by the latter or when he voluntarily
leaves Lis service- nor does it' make any
di fie re dcs that a large number were dis
charged at one time; their aggregate
rights rise no higher than their ruhts as
inditiduala. The mutual right of the
parties to contract in regard to wages,
and thecharacier of the employment,
whether by the piece or by the day,
whether for 10 hoars or leas, is as fixed
anTclear as any other right which we
enjoy under the Constitution and laws of
this State. It is a right which belongs
to every citiien, laborer or capitalist,
and it is the tnain duty of the State to
protect him in the enjoyment of it
HISTOEt's DAtE CHAPTKi.
As before observed, but a small portion
of the men were affected by the proposed
erseit
ESTABIilSHED 1837.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEPv 19, 1892.
reaJjssirnent of v'Rt The larger por
tion of them, who were members of what
is known as the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers, were net
affected at alL Nor were the large fjree
of employes, seme Z203 in number, who
were not members of said A-sociattocu
Upon the failure to arrive at an adjust
ment of the wag?difficulty, thecotnpany
proposed to operate its. works by the em
ployment ef other men not members of
the Amalgamated Association. It had
the right to do this onder the law ot
Pennsylvania. This right was resisted,
and the fact of its resistance, and the
mannerof it, are cow a part of the his
tory of the State; it is a chapter whkh
every good citizen woai l gladly see oh -
lite rat ed
it is a part of the history of these events
that the lodges conrp-jsin;; the Amalga
mated Association proceeded to organ
ise what has been widely known as the
Advisory Committee that this com
mittee orgaaixei by the appointment of
a c!airman, and proceeded at once to
take cbarg?;of affairs at Homestead ; that
among its first acts was to order the me
chanics, laborers and other employes of
the works, amounting to about 3,J
whose wages were not affected by the
projiosed change, and who had entered
into a new agreement with the company,
upon the tercus of their oi l contract, to
break their contracts, and to refuse to
work until the Amalgamated Association
was recognized and its terms agreed to.
lp to this point tfcere had been no breach
of the peace; the men had the riht to
refuse to work and to persuade their
friends te refuse also. The law has no
quarrel with labor associations so long
as they act peaceably and respect the
rights of others ; on the contrary, while
they keep within the law they have the
sympathy of all good citizens in eTery
honest, manly effort to improve their
condition. Bat the State of Pennsylva
nia will not permit these, or any other
organizations, to trample upon the law
and deny the rights of other laborers not
members of sach associations.
THE ADViaLS.T COMJ-.TTts's WufcC
It is alleged that the Advisory Com
mittee did more than induce others not
to accept employment from the company ;
that it allowed no persons to enter the
mills of the Carnegie Stee! Company,
and even permitted no strangsrs to enter
the loa n of Homestead without ita con
sent ; that it arranged and perfected an
organization ef a military character, con
sisting of three divisions, with command
ers, captains, etc, the captains to report
to the.di vision commanders and the latter
to report to the Advisory Committee;
that a girdle cf pickets a as establish ed
by which the works and the town were
guarded like a military encampment;
that thess pickets arrested every man
who attempted to approach either the
town or the works until he could give ac
count of himself which was satisfactory
to the Advisory Committee ; that all dis
cueionofthe wage question was posi
tively prohibited ; that aii these and
many other things were done to deprlte
the company of the use of its property,
and to prevent it from operating its
works by the aid of men who were not
members of the Amalgamated Association.
It was in this state cf affairs that the
company, apprehending injury to its
property and its possible destruction, ap
plied to the High Sheriff of Allegheny
county for protection. That o -fleer made
an effirt to secure 103 deputies to go to
Homestead on the afternoon of July 3.
He succeeded in getting about a dozen,
w ho, under the charge of a deputy sher
iff, attempted to enter the works of the
company in order to protect them. They
were driven eff with threats and the au
thority of the Sheriff defied. On the
morning of July 6 the company attempt
ed to place S-J watchmen into the works.
The men were selected by the aid of the
Pickerton Agency and were in charge of
a dspaty sheriff. Their bn-iness, and
their only business, was to protect the
property of their employers. The land
ing of these men on the grounds of the
company was resisted by a large crowd
of men, many of ahoui were armed;
gnns, pistols and cannon were discharg- j
ed at the watchmen, and the fire was re
turned by a portion of the latter. An
attempt was made to destroy them by
the rioters by the use of dynamite and
by burning oil. l inaliy, after a number
had been killed and wounded on each
side, the watchmen surrendered to the
Advisory Committee, at that time the
only authority permitted to be exercised
at Homestead. Their treatment after
their surrender has few chapters to e-ual
it in savage warfare, notwithstanding
the humane efforts of a portion of the
committee to prevett it-
A BrMllATISi SFErrACU-.
This outbreak was so serious in its
character that the Governor of the Su:e
and Commander-in-Chief of ita army,
acting in the strict line of his duty and
altera call for aid from the High Sheriff
of Allegheny county, ordered oat the en
tire National Guard cf the State fr its
aappression. feicce men we nave naa ior
Lany weeks the humiliating spectacle of
a business plant surrounded by the army
of the State for its protection at an ex
pense of several hundred thousand dol
lars to the taxpayers and the business of
the country disturbed to seme extent,
and for what ?
We can have some sympathy with a
mob driven to desperation by hunger, as
in the days of the FrencU Revolution,
but we can have none for men receiving
steady employment at exceptionally high
wages in resisting the law, and in resort
ing to violence and bloodshed in the as
sertion of imaginary rights, and in entail
ing such a vast expense upon the tax
payers of the Commonwealth. It was
not a cry of "bread or blood" from fam
ishing lips, or an ebulition of angry pas
sions from a sudden outrag-, or provoca
tion; it was a deliberate attempt from
men without a grievance to wrest from
others their lawfully acquired property
and to control them in their use and en
joyment of it. The existence of such a
state of things in a government of law in
dicates a weak spot somewhere. It is
not in the law itself ; that is sufficient for
the preservation of order; all that is
seeded is its proper enforcement- To ac
complish this it is only necessary that
everyone connected with its administra
tion hal! do his dutv. This duty is as
silenanand ia-perative with a juror ia
the box as with the judge upon the bench
and I am clad to be able to say. as the
result of my experience ia the cru-unai
coorts, that I have seldom known a jury
... ...
to falter in the performance of a duty,
when that duty has beenclearly and fir
ly presented to thei. If jurors fail in
this respect, the courts can accomplish
nothing, and the result is anarchy.
PTBUC OriSIOX Dl-SEAAtD.
It is much to be feared that there is a
diseased state of public opinion growing
up with regardjo.disturbanccs cf thia na
tare, and that a confused, if not erro
neous, view of the lav bearing upon these
questions has found lodgment in the pub
lic mind. This is evidenced by thecom
ments of a portion of the press and in tee
utterance of demagogues who pander to
the mob and the politicians who hunger
for votes. It finds expression in sympa
thy for men who, without a recognized
grievance, trample upon the law and the
riahts of others, and yet have no sympa
thy for the outx-ifed law, or the laborer
who is beaten and sometimes murdered,
in his effort to seek honest employment
for the support of Lis family. The
growth of this sentiment may have been
promoted to some extent by the addition
of large numbers cf foreigners to our la
boring population. Many of them are
densely ignorant, as well as brutal in
their dispositions. They have false ideas
in regard to the kind of liberty we enjoy
in this country. It is needed that all
such persons should I taught the lesson
that our liberty is the liberty of law and
not the liberty of license.
Tue present occasion requires me to de
fine the law. I will endeavor to do it
so clearly and fully that there shall be
hereafter no excuse for misunderstand
ing it. To some extent it has ben al
ready foreshadowed.
THE LAW DEFINED.
When thecompany shutdown its works
and discharged its men it was acting
strictly within the line of the law; it
could not compel the men to work, nor
could the men compel the company to
employ them ; no arrangement could be
made in this regard except in the nature
of a contract agreed upon by the parties.
Upon this subject their rights were mu
tuaL The company Lad the undoubted
right to protect its property ; for the pur
pose it could lawfully employ as ma.ny
men as it saw projer, and arm them. If
necessary. Many of our banks and osier
places of business, are gaardel by armed
watchmen. The law did not require it
to employ as watchmen the men from
whom it anticipated the destruction of
its works. When a man seeks to protect
his house from Lurglars it would be un
reasonable to jeqaire him to place the
burglars in possession for that purpose;
so as long as the men employed by the
company as watchmen, to guard and pro
tect its property, acted only in that ca
pacity, and for that purpose, it mattered
not to the rioters, nor to the public who
they were, r.or from whence they came.
It was an act of unlawful violence to pre
vent their landing upon the property of
the company. That unlawful violence
amounted to at least a tict upon tue
part of all concerned in it ; if life was
taken in pursuance of a purpose to iei-t
the landing of the men by violence, the
offense was murder, and perhaps treason.
I will speak of treason later on.
The rights of the men, as before stated,
were to refuse to work unless their terms
were acceded to, and to persuade others
to join them iu such refusal, but it will
sustain them no farther. The moment
tbey attempted to control the works and
to prevent by violence, or threats of vio
lence, other laborers from gicg to work
there, they placed themselves outside the
pale of the law and became rioters". It
cannot be tolerated for a moment that
one laborer slill say to another laborer,
'-yoa shall not work for this man for that
wage without my consent,'' and then en
force such command by brutal violence
upon Lis person ; and what will untie
permittel to one man to da will not be
permitted to an organization of men.
THE PITY 07 THE STATE.
It is the duty of the State to protect
every citizes within her borders; ia this
there is no distinction between the laborer
and the capitalists; it protects each with
eiu.l impartiality ; when the State fai's
to do this, it fails ia its duty as sover
eign ; and it will protect wilh a firm hand
the individual laborer from the tyranny
and unlawful demands of organized
labor. The law she-Id be so enforced
from the Delaware to the Ohio that the
humblest laborer can work for whom he
pleases and at what wage he sees fit, un
deterred ty the bludgeon of the rioter or
the pistol ol the assassin.
If we were to concede the agrarian
doctrine that the employe nay lawfully
dktate to his employer the terms of his
employment, and upon the efusal of the
Litter to accede to them, take possession
I of his property and drive others away
who are mi. ling to wo.-, we wou.a Lave
anarchy. business could be conduct
ed apen such a principle, the doctrine,
when once countenanced, will be extend
ed to every industry. Some of you gen
tlemen of the Grand Jury may be farm
ers; I am one myself, and take an honest
pride in it. Suppose when your crops are
e nthered. your men wither
without ca2e refuse to work, and not
onlv refue to work, but also take posses
sion of your farm and by violence
and threats prevent all ethers
from doing so, unless you accede to
the demands which you regard as un
raasonabl? ; in the meantime your crops
perish and you lose the fruits cf you.
vear'a toil. Under such circumstances
you would not like to be told from this
bench thAt you have no right to protect
your property, or to employ men as
wa'xhmen for that purpose. There is no
such law.
TIIE OFFENSE OF T1EASOS. j
I have made these preliminary re
ccarks in order that yoa may the better
nnderstand the offence of treason, to
which I now come. It is defined by the
first section of the act cf March 21,
P. L. :S3, as follows :
"If any person owing allegiance to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall
levy war against the aame, or shall ad
here to the enemies thereof, giving them
and comfort within the State or else
where, an J shall be thereof convicted on
confession in op?n court, or on the testi
mony of two witnesses to the same overt
act of the treason whereof he shall stand
indicted, such person ahai', on conviction
be adjudged guilty of treason against the
Common wealth and be sentenced to lay
a fine not exceeding f 2,fX and undergo
an imprisonment by separate
and 1
ry coufinement at labor not exceeding 12
years.
I am glad to be able
to aay that the
Hera
law-abiding character of our people has
been such that heretofore no one has
been prosemted nnder this act since its
passage in 1 SCO. It is also proper to say,
so far as this State is concerned, that this
prosecution has not been commenced
from any vindictive feeling, or from aay
disposition to multiply offence, or to in
flict any unnecessarily severe punish
ments. Ia object is to merely vindicate
the law. It is only the maximum pun
ishment that is fixed by the statute ; the
Court pseseoses the power to fix it at aay
point within it. You will also observe
that the offence charged is treason against
this State, and not against the United
States; it is a matter with which the
tatter hare nothing to do, and over
which its courts Lave no jurisdiction.
HortS AND TBA!JN.
A cere mob, collected upon the im
pulre of the moment, without any defi
nite object beyond the grati. "5 cation of its
sudden paseion does not commit treason,
although it destroys property and takes
human life. But when a large number
of men arm an organize themselves by
divisions and companies, appoint ottieers
and engage ia a common purpose to defy
the Law. to resists ita crhcera, and to de
prive any portion of their frliow-citizens
of the rights to whkh they are entitled
under the Constitution and Laws, it is a
levying of war against the State and the
offence is treason; much more so when
the Junctions cf the State Government
are usurped in a particular locality, the
pro -ess of the Commonwealth, and the
lawful acts of its officers resisted and un
lawful arrests made at the dictation of a
body of men who have assumed the func
tions of the Government in the locality ;
and it is a state cf war when a business
plant has to I surrounded by the army
of the State for weeks to protect it from
unlawful violence at the Lands of men
formly employed in it.
Where a body of men have organized
for a treasonable purpose every step
which any one of them takes in part exe
cution of their common pcrpose is aa
overt act of treason in levying war.
Every member of such usurped govern
ment, whether it be an advisory com
mittee or by whatever named called, who
has participated in such usurpation, who
has joined in a common purpose of resist
ance of the law and the denial of the
rights of other citizens, has committed
treason against the State. While the
graveness of this offence is the design of
overturcirg the government of the State,
such intention need not extend to every
portion tf its ttrriu.ry. It is sufficient
if it be to overturn it in a particular
locality, and such intent cay be inferred
from the aits committed. If they be
such that the authority ol a State is over
turned in a particular locality, and a
usurped authority substituted in its place,
the parties doing so must be presumed to
have intended to do what they have act
ually dene.
th: risrrnoN or the law.
It is a maxim of the criminal law that
a man must be presumed to have intend
ed that which is the natural and proba
ble consequence of thisa.-t. Thus, if a
man assaults another with a deadly
weapon, and alms a blow at a vital part,
the law presumes he intended to take
domkiled within the State, aad
who enjoy ita protection, owe temporary
allegiance to it and are amenable for trea
son. There are no accessories ia tre.i -a, all
are principals.

We bve reached a point ia the history
of the Sttte where there are but two
roads left to us to pursue ; the one leads
to order and good government, the other
leads to anarchy. The one great ques
tion which now cenfronts the people of
this country is the enforcement of the
law and the preservation of order.

An Old Legend.
Once, lorg asrs when the world was
young, and men turned to the gods for
the gift they craved once, so the story
goes, there Lived a man and woman
bound to each other by an exceeding
great love. Neither minietered cnlo the
other, for the light and beauty each bore
within filled them with sach glury and
strength that their days were aa unfold
ing, nor needed succor from outside
things. But so great was their love, so
the legend runs, that as time went cn
they foil within them the turob of a
great desire to be yet more each unto the
other than they had been. tor joy consume-)
os," cried they. "We must work
or we perish. Give as, ye gods that
thing to do for the other w h kh neitber
can do for himself. Give us to do what
the gods Lave done, and so may k e
find its perfect way."
Long the God's pondered. "Naught
have we withheld," spake they,"saveone
gilt only. Shall Care dwell among men,
and they be even as weT Then care her
self spoke: "IVtai a me not, oh, mighty
ones ; there is much for the men of earth
to know that is hidden from them till 1
go.' Then the oldest god remembered
w hat in heaven Lad been forgot ; and he
rose and took the hand of care and led
her downward to the earth. A&d the
man and woman looking at her say a
beauteous maiden, full of glee, and her
eyes were as if you looked at the stars at
night over par-ens fall of perfume. And
they shone with a light of greAt gladness.
And the faces of the man and woman lit
up with an overwhelming joy. Then the
oldest of the gods, so says the legcd,
stood majestic and held Lis hand aloft.
"Children of the earth, unto you is given
the divinest of our gifts, a being formed
out of love that seeks no end of its ow n.
You may make of her what yoa wilL
Love most your own "Bit the man and
woman w ere lost w i:h joyous Care among
the ffowers; nor heeded longer the voice
cf the oldest g i.
A tier many days, so the legend runs,
when men multiplied, and each man's
need Lai gruwn greater to him than that
of any other, and each man's power the
greaWst end worth striving for, then it
was that some uan stopped aad looked
at Care, and locking, turned away and
ran. For Care had grow gaunt eyed aal
hideous, and clutched at hiai with loug
and bony fingers. And a woman, too, in
those days, stopped and loc ked at Care,
and cried out ia shuddering sobs. And
one tried to drown her in the cup, and
the other weekly bore her to her grave.
Then the oldest of the gods trembled for
the children cf earth, seeing how a g .1
had well thru destroyed them.
Bat there were those, even ia those !
days, so the story runs, to w hoia Care was
beauteous as of old- They were those
with whom Love had not died, to whom
life meants help for others, and opptrtu
nity for service was counted blessed. And
these walked hand in hand with Care
rejoicing, and they looked into her f.ee
wilh thanksgiving, and saw that it glow
ed with a 'light cf a great glory within,
an 1 that about her feet shone the ra.li- j
ancs cf perfect peace. And the oldest of j
the gods walking among thtse was gUJ, j
and unto the children of earth 6pakd j
oace agiin : -lake the hand of Care aad j
be thankful. Lock itto her fai-e, and j
she is a handmaid from heaven. Stiua
her. and she is aa oTfa haait.r.2 ail
your days."
And the oldest of the gods departed ;
from this eartti, nor was seen aain i
among men. And so ths legend end. j
But Care still walks abroad, and will j
walk, mea say, till ail rutn Live t'.eir I
duty and the'r fellow men, and so love j
her ; t.ll men know her as a great privi- j
le-e ; an I not as their own favored ere- j
tioa, sta k:ig Lrngry-eyed aixiccg their i
posees-ions. And wouuen ia tho- days,
will case !.shoJJer at Care, even be- j
fore they re the faces of ibeir little ones, j
nor think Care has marked their fore- j
heads, or stopped aai sto.ea rimiice
out of their Lves, or crept away with
th?ir ambitions. Aad Care will not be
a leia ani cruuehed figure h -.idling by
firesidfs, but the joyous, beautiful wo- j
mau who leads us with radiant smiicever
io higher p.anesof happiness. Aad this j
must ever be true, for the saddest cf life j
is not found where Care is, bat there!
where Love is and Care is denied.
