was accorded TO Burgess McIuckie when after his re
lease from Imprisonment In Pttsburs JAIL he arrived
this afternoon In Homestead Fully 1900 OF the
strikers had gathered Mt thu depot and when the tram
pulled I'm they cheered him again and again. Not
satisfied with applauding and handshakng. the
strikers Insisted greater demonstration In his
honor The Borough Council assembled and tho

Walking two abreast. The Burgess was In fine

The burgess was escorted 10 his home. which |

woman who kissed him deightcdIy. and for whom |
the Burgess displayed equal affection Within the |
doorway the couple wound their arms around one !

The Intelligence that Burgess McLuckie had been |
admitted to bail caused much relief in Homestead. |
