III nearly every contract made In the
coal. coke, iron and steel and other in
dustries that the contracting paroles
shall not be liable for any delays occa-
stoned by strike in ful6lmento OF contracts
THE COMPANY ESCAPES LIABILITY
For delays in furnishing material.
How long the strike can last is there
fore questionable, and in Homestead
another sharp fight Is anticipated by
many persons who believe the company
will vigorously fight to put its works In
operation. Success In this respect
would doubtless lead to several suose-
ouent riots, but the firm would have
the upper hand. Meanwhile the strik-
ers will continue orderly and hope to
force the company to agree to some
mode of settlement.
The town to-day has been quiet and
is in control of the leaders and they
realize a mistake was made by unau-
thorized persons attempting to estao-
lish dictatorship over every one here.
They will continue TO exercise the right
to escort out of town all persons they
suspect of being here to spy on their
movements, or who cannot SATISFACTORY
ly explain their business. So far as
newspaper men are concerned arrange
ments have been perfected by which
badges with the approval of'the advis-
ory committee of the strikers will be is
sued TO all persons who can establish
their identity. The advisory commit
tee has practically been nonenity Tor
several days but organization was affect
ed this afternoon and it has kept the
men under better discipline than yes
terday.
THE SALOONS WE'RE OPEN
to-day but there was little drinking ex-
cept by few foreigners. The commit
tee which visited Harrisburg and other
strikers are authority for the statement
that no Notifications have been attempt
ed TO the works. They say they have
cautioned their men against going there.
Hugh O'Donnell, who returned from
Harrisburg, after stating how well he
had been treated by the Governor, said:
"Unless there are some overt acts Of vio-
lence on the part of the workmen which
cannot be quelled by the civil author-
ties or by the men themselves the militia
will not be called out. The policy of
this administration is TO use the mill
tary oufy as last resort and for only
for execution. They will not be used
to take possession OF the works to per-
nit others to work in the Carnegie mills
"Now, understand me, am not say
ing this on the authority of the Cover
mol, but have arrived at the conclusion
from what / have seem"
Mr.. O'Donnell said he sincerely hoped
that thore would be no further trouble,
and said he would do all in his power to
avert it.
ANYTHING DONE LAWFULLY
By the officers will be respected and the
men will offer no resistance to the dis
charge OF duty on the part OF the au-
thorites. They will resist any inter
ference of the Pinkerton forces to the
bitter end on the ground that these mon
are unlawful invaders of their rights,
There seems to be no doubt but that
there are a few Pinkerton men in town
who are employed in getting list OF
the wounded and tiers who were &C
tive participants in the riot As word
OF war; '1g it behooves the peoplesto be
quiet on the subject aud give them no
opportunity to find the objects OF their
search.
Up to ten o'clock no trouble of any
sort had occurred, and barring the pos
sibillty that the high tension OF the
workmen and the strain they are under
may cause some difficulty which would
be regretted almost on the instant
There is no danger tonight.
