HOMESTEAD, Pa, July s.-Ths sheriff
has taken one more step and made enc
more effort to obtain admission for deputy
sheriffs to the works; and one more effort,
this time In the town of Homestead itself
to obtain posse. He has failed in these
efforts. The legal adviser of the sheriff,
Mr.. Petty, says the firm is not in law, or
in fact in possession of Its works; and that
1t must be put in possession of them. A
proposition being submitted to the strikers
that they permit deputies to peacefully
enter the works and assume charge, sthe
men held meeting to-day at which
the proposition was considered. The
meeting adjourned without reaching
conclusion, though so far as
there was an expression OF opinion 1t was
generally in favor of the acceptance of
the proposition and Of . submission to tho
law and recognition of regularly con-
stituted authority. The men are intense
ly suspicious and are afrrid that the propo-
sition of the sheriff has behind 1t some
sinister motive and that Pinkertons will fol-
low the deputies, and non union men will
follow the Pinkertons. Tho cooler men
are advising the strikers to permit
hut II 1t be- granted the
strikers insist that the deputies shall
be neither numerous nor we'll armed, and
that they shall not mako q move to protect
men whom the firm may wish to introduce.
The unwillingness of the men to turn the
works to the sheriff and his deputies is in
creased by their distrust, openly expressed,
of Sheriff McCleary. The strikers accuse
him of acting double part, but the spectre
of the appearance of long line of soldiers
with no purpose but to sternly ovey orders
Ia behind the sheriff's failure, and some of
the men realize this. No disorder of any
sort had occurred up to II tonight.
FAVOR SURRENDER TO THE SHERIFF.
Sheriff McCleary came hear to-day and
after brief conference departed. The
mass meeting referred to was called at the
suggestion of the sheriff and of the bust
ness men, who are anxious to see termt-
nation of the present state of affairs which
is injurious to trade. President Weihe
presided over the meeting. Attorney
Brennan, who addressed the meeting, said
that if the sheriff's officers are
not admitted and the property turned over
to the firm, the militia must be summoned.
When the military come new men will be
put to work under military guard, and If
any one attempts to interfere with them
he will be shot Bloodshed and conflict
with the troops must be averted. The
people are against the Pinkertons, but
they will not be with you in resistance to
the sheriff.
One of the locked out men followed Mr..
Brennan in speech of the same tenor. A
| third speaker advocated arbitration. Some
others dissented from the voices of these
speakers. There were too few present to
act as representative body of the work
| ingmen and 30 an adjournment was taken
with the understanding that numbe
of the leading officers would visit
Pittsburg and confer with Sheriff Nc
Cleary and learn his purposes If control
| was given to him and to sec tho adjutant
general. Talks with number of the men
| show that the conservative element and
| the leaders in tho Amalgamated Associa-
ton are decidedly in favor of giving way to
| the sheriff.
