men went to work in the Cleveland rolling
mills, to-day, than yesterday. The same
Bohemians who were stoned last evening
returned this morning, but were not mo-
Tested. No disturbance occurred to-day.
Skilled workmen have arrived daily, some
from England, and are being employed.
President Chisholm says he has letters
every day from employees in the union who
wish to go back, but are afraid. He says he
can get plenty of skilled hands from else
where, but prefers TO let the former EN-
ployes resume their places-if they
will withdraw from the union
He speaks more determined to-day than
ever about operating the works untram'
meled by the dictation OF the union. The
mills are practically fortified. They. are
fenced in and garrisoned by strong force
of well armed men, who are quartered there
day and night ready for service in case the
strikers attack the works, as they have
threatened.
Z Mayor Herrick this afternoon conferred
privately with the infantry and artillery
companies. He says hitherto the police
have been on the defensive, but since last
NIGHTS riotous demonstrations more vigor'
GUS measures will be adopted to prevent
violence.
The Police Commissioners met, this
morning, and appointed twenty-five special
policemen for service about the Cleveland
rolling mills and ordered the sanitary po-
lice on duty there to employ two vehicles
for expediting arrests and took steps to
prevent the threatened raids on the mill.

not made public, that the gatling gun and
Grays and the Fifth Regiment OF the State
militia are held in readiness for an emer.
gency. Their several armories show
unusual signs of life.
To-day everything is quiet at the New
burg mill. There are only some two hun
dred non-union men at work, the riot last
evening having thinned them out. The
riot was started by women throwing stones,
and it was only checked with the aid OF
the Amalgamators patrol. Hardly po.
liceman in the whole department has a
whole head to-day, and several Of the
strikers are badly hurt. The men at work
to-day are unskilled, and but very little
can be accomplished. The union men are
dealing out supplies to the strikers and say
they will hold out till Christmas. Appre'
hension is felt of a riot when the non.
union men return from work to night and
all the militia are charged to be in readi
ness at the armory. At present there is
not the slightest indication Of coming
trouble.
COLUMBUS, June 1.-THE Cleveland
authorities have called on Governor Foster
for troops to quell the rioting strikers, and
were notified that they had power, with the
Sheriff, to call out in the city and county
and the State would not interfere till these
proved inadequate.
The Great Parade.
PITTSBURGH, June l4.-After H.'eful re
view of the situation, it may properly be
said that the general demonstration of or
ganized labor on Saturday, will be the
largest affair of the kind ever INDUCED in
by the workingmen as a body. Every
minute particular has been attended to by
those parties who have the affair in charge
and they have succeeded in arousing sucl
a feeling of enthusiasm among their sup
porters and fellow workmen that various
lodges and assemblies of the different labor
organizations will turn out and parade
almost to man.
The office of ID. r. Jones, President OF the
Miners Association, con sists OF suite oi
rooms, plainly furnished, which are used
at present as a headquarters for miners
who call to deliberate with their leaders on
Momentous Questions,
concerning the strike. President Jones
was engaged in an interesting discussion
with half dozen coal diggers, principally
on how much money should be allowed
them as expenses. In answer to the ques
ton asked, President Jones said: IL don
know who originated the idea for a Labor
demonstration, nor don't care, yet DC
know that it will be the greatest affair o
the kind that ever happened, The object
is to show how strong the working men are
and guess we will do that pretty well or
Saturday. believe there will be at leas!
10000 men in line, and my miners Will
turn out 5000 strong. That's al" )"
Col. Armstrong, editor OF the Labor
Tribune, the present candidate for Cover
nor of Pennsylvania on the Greenbacs
ticket, said: 'The origin Of the demon
stration
Was Spontaneous.
I don't know where it came from; but first
We heard murmurs which gradually grew
into talks on the subject, and ii grew and
grew, until all things were arranged, and
on Saturday there will be demonstration
of united labor that will surprise the many
who believe that workingmen have brain:
for nothing but ignorant ideas and wild
scheming. You will see body OF
well dressed and most respectable men,
who parade only to show their strength.
As nearly as can judge, although ! can.
not say that my estimate is nearly right,
believe that about 5000 men will be IN
line. The demonstration is general, and
will include delegations from Wheeling and
other near labor centers, and all who care
TO participate. Brass bands will be- here
from FIVE States. as it was impossible TO hno
a sufficient number OF bands in Western
Pennsylvania. Some people fear that
More Than q Parade
will take place Now, ! cannot understand
why persons will always confound working
men and rioters as one and the same
Suppose some political party ha
large street demonstration, com
posed generally Of three-fourths working
men, there is no scare or furry, but they
are looked at with evident satisfaction
Now when labor parades as Q distinct BODY
the question is asked. What does all thi
meanY' Nothing. Labor is going TO az
the same as the political body, parade onl,,
to show its strength, and II has strengti

ADozen Clerks,
all busily engaged in transacting the busi

Last year, during the strike OF the print
ers, the idea Of showing the strength no

of other labor Unions, by public parade
was such gratifying success that 1t va

of its own accord, and as you will see o
Saturday, found favor with the workingme
of all branches. 1t is intended to sho'

that in the matter OF rights the working
