TIE Rl0TING RENEWED
Clubs and Stones Welded by
the Strikers at Duquesne.
THE TROOPS CHARGE ON TIE MOB.

Potter and His Associates Give Bail.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 5.-Clubs and
stones took the place ofmoral suasion in the
strike at Duquesne, and not until the mill
tary was called upon was anything like
order restored. The trouble began when
thirty men employed in the mechanical de-
partment put IN an appearance. These men
We're among those who, the day previous
signed an agreement to return 70 work at
the compnny's terms. Superintendent Nor
rison informed them when the agreement
was signed that no attempt would be made
to start the mill until next Monday. He
then ordered Foreman William Milslagle to
put thirty men at work making repairs
The men selected for the work were on
hand promptly, but they didno go towork
Near the entrance to the mill they We're
met by crowd of nearly 300 Duquesne and
Homestead strikers, the latter having gone
from this place during the night Twelve
deputy sherfIs endeavored to keep back
the mob in order that the thirty mechanics
might pass into the works, but they were
soon overpowered and compelled to retreat
In the struggle some of the deputies had
their maces taken from them. Seeing that
to further resist the mob would result in
bloodshed the little band OF workmen re-
tired in good order.
The strikers Encouraged.
This victory encouraged the strikers, and
when Foreman Milslagle came upon the
scene a few minutes later ana attempted TO
reach the mill gate he found himself sur
rounded by bowling mob, but the brave
foreman, with club in hand, defied the
strikers Near the gate he found himself
confronted by dozen men. They told him
that If he did not turn badA he would be
killed. Half a dozen deputies then ran to
his rescue Theybegged of Milslagle to re-
turn home. Reluctantly he consented and
started for his residence, which stands on
the edge Of hill back of the works de
was followed by three men, one OF them
Homestead steel worker
When he reached narrow pathway run
ming along the edge Of "a deep ravine the
Homesteader ran up behind him and dealt
him a terrible blow on the back Of the head.
Nislagle was rendered unconscious and
rolled TO the bottom Of the ravine. He was
I picked up by friends and taken to his home,
/ where he soon recovered.
The assault was witnessed BY the mob of
strikers, who eheered when they saw Mil
/ slagle knocked down While they were
still gloating over the victory the strikers
/ caught sight Of Boss Carpenter Hugh Boyce
/ Fastening toward the mill gate. With a
4 wild yell they started for him with appraised
clubs, but the deputy sherfs promptly ex-
ecuted q flank movement, surrounded Boyca
/ and succeeded in getting him in the mill I'M
4 injured. The crowd surged about the gate
nft1Af
was not brought ont.
The Militia Swoop Down.
Before they could carry out their threat
the strikers caught sight Of several COM
panies Of militia swooping down upon them
in double quick time. The sight of the
bluecoats and the glstening bayonets
caused the mob 60 scatter ia all directions.
In a few moments the entire Sixteenth
regiment under command of Colonel
Huhngs, was in possession Of the place,
having reached Duquesne on a special train a
few minutes after General Riley had been
appraised of the serious situation of affairs.
Colonel Rulings ordered the captains of
the respective companies to place men on
all streets leading to the MILL with orders
to allow no one to pass without written
orders
Details were also sent to Oliver and Coch-
ran stations while full company took
possession OF the roud in front Of the works
Finding themselves at bay, the strikers
gathered on the hills above the town, where
they cOutented themselves with hurting
vile imprecations on the heads of those be-
low Colonel Rulings entire command viii
remain on guard.
In his report TO General Wiley, Colone
Hulings says that he believes two com
panies Of infantry viii be sufficient to pre-
serve order and protect those who wish tC
90 to work in the mill Sheriff McCleary
win endeavor to double the number OF dep
uties in Duquesne Direct Geographic com
munication win also be established between
that point aud General Wiley's headquar
tiers in Homestead.
Canegie's employees have lost the strikl
in Duquesno, as 80 Of the men have signe,
agreements TO return TO work next Mon
day. Fully half this number are Amalga
mated men, who, in order not to lose thei
places, have deserted the organization
This is a severe blow to the Homestea,
strikers, who have 50 confidently relic,
upon the DuQuesne men to help them out.
