lodging and made efforts to reach the fence
which was several rods distant.
He piled his club vigorously, but TINS
only infuriated the animal the more;
Finally Smith broke his club. and be aimed

the bull. hoping 10 blind HIM. All tnls
time be shouted for help. but the house was
half mile distant and the road was hidden
by trees.
The bull caught the sharpened end Of the
club upon the forehead, and. lowering ms
head. he tossed Smith into the ar. and be
fell upon the bulls back. After he struck
the ground he clutched the bulls horns for
dear life. and round and round they went
Smith holding fast and shouting: -.
Exhaustion brought the fight for lie 10
an end. Smith was tossed upwards Twice
that he remembered. Then the bull caught
him Oh his back on the ground and drove
one Of its horns into his side and the other
into his chest. ID. w. Densler, who was
driving along the road heard the believing
in the field and he knew there was some
trouble. He made his way through the
grove and as he entered the pasture no saw
Smith whrhng over and above the norns
of the bull. Densler. armed with his Whip
and club. ran across the field shouting.

MR.. OATES REPORT
OF tho Investigation OF the Homestead
TroubIes-Cause OF the striks.

Washington, D. O.. August 6.-Mr.
Oates report on the Homestead trou-
bles, which were suppressed by the
full committee on the ground that
il did not cover all the ground
of investigation. says that had Mr..
Frick stated the bottom facts 70 the
committee they would have agreed that
the proposition 10 reduce wages were
iustifiable, but they took issue with
him in mis- conclusion that the tarlh
did not cause the decline in prices. blr.
Oates finds further that the conduct OF the
compauy towards its employees was
kind in many respects. 1t loaned
them money at low rates OF interest
70 build them houses and never toreciosed
a mortgage but in the negotiations the OH
GERS did not exercise patience, indulgence
and solicitude, and Mr.. Frick, according to
Mr.. Oates opinion, was too stern ana
brusQue. r,-
Mr. oates is persuaded that If Mr.. Frick
had appealed 20 the reason OF the employees
and shown the state OF the CON-
pany's affairs the reduction might have
been made aud no trouble would have fol-
lowed.
The Pennsylvania law contains nothing
to prevent Mr.. Frick employing Pinkertohs
as watchmen at Homestead. but says mr
Oates condemns their employment under
tho circumstances. He did not appeal
10 the county or State authority in first IN
stance for protection. He agrees that
Sheriff McClsry was very inetnclehI
officer, but says Alr. trck aided
and Joined in his appeal to tho
Governor. Instead of employing Pinkertons
the State would have furnished suincieht
force T. have protected the property.
Sir. Oates condemns as unlawful the acts OF
the workmen in turning away the sherlli
and in hanging in efiigy Messrs. Friok and
Potter. lie saws it was the purpose or
the Amalgamated Association to prevent tho
ernplovment of non-uniOn men. lie de-
clares no organization has rlgnt 10 use
strong hand in defiance OF law.
The men had LEGAL right 20 resist the
coming Of the Pinkertous and are answer
allie 10 the PENNSYLVANIA courts. In con-
olusion Mr.. Oates finds that Congress mas
no power over tho questions involved.
The enactment OF q satisfactory arOitra-
ton law is wellnigh impossible.
As b whether Congress has the power 20
regulate OF suppress Pinkertons Mr.. Oates
