Pa:
1.-THE situation at Homestead has not i'm
proved. While all is quiet there, the strikers
are in control, and openly express 10 me and TO
the public their determination that the works
Shall not be operated unless by themselves
after making all efforts in my power, | have
failed to secure posse respectable enough in
numbers to accomplish anything, and l am
satisfied that no posse raised by civil authority
can do anything to change the condition of at-
fairs, and that any attempt by an inadequate
force TO restore the right OF law will only result
in further armed resS tance and consequentloss
Of life. Only large military force will enable
me TO control matters. If such force is sent
