WILL BE RECEIVED WITH OPEN ARMS.
Burgess McLuckie, together with Hugh
ODonneli, one of the leaders of the Home
stead strikers, was seen late tonight, and
asked:
How do you regard the latest new-the
calling out of the mi.itiaf"
THAT is right in our line. It suits rs
first rate"
'How will the militia be receivedf"
with open arms"
There will be no hostilltyi,
None whatever. We will receive them
IN fraternal spirit. and accord to them
that respect due to the representatives of
tho grandeur and dignity of the great
State of Pennsylvania. We have been ex-
pecting them, and we are glad they are
coming. There will not be the slightest
opposition to their presence. nor the least
manifestation Of unfriendllness"
"Do you fear that their presence will be
taken advantage OF by the company in an
effort to install nom union men in the milf"
II do not think Governor Pattison has
said that the militia are to be used as
guards. and he is not sending them here
for that purpose. They will be kept here
few days, and when it is seen how peace
able every thing is / predict they will be
Withdrawn. The sheriff has been insisting
that he could not keep the peace, and /
suppose it has been finally determined to
send the troops here to see how necessary
they are. They will be received with re-
spect. Our fight was against the Pinker-
tons-against invasion of our homes by an
armed. illegal and disreputable private
army"
Mr.. McLuckie's words are accepted by
all as final. and as indicating the tactics of
the strikers. There will be no opposition
BY the strikers and no manifestations of
unfriendliness. But the strikers are re-
ligiously relying upon the State govern
ment to afford no assistance to the COM
pany In the installation of non-union labor,
and are trusting that the troops may be
speedily withdrawn, leaving the situation
practically the same as before their ar
rival. In that event the strikers expect to
be able to continue to bar out the non-
union workmen.
Hugh O'Donnell, the leader of the strik-
ers, was seen at midnight. II cannot be-

Shortly after midnight hurried call was
sent out for meeting of the advisory CON-

should be assumed towards the militia.
