THE INFLUX OF STRANGERS.
Immediately after the adjournment Of
this mornings meeting Burgess McLucki,
issued the following proclamation:

PRESERVING THE PEACE.
During the evening the special men on
several occasions silenced boisterous dis
putants, and when these individuals were
wanting in respect they were marched off
to the lookup. Most of the arrests were
mill-workers and among those locked up
for the night was one of the lesser leaders.
The advent of the militia has given rise
to countless rumors that the strikers recog-
nize that defeat is inevitable and are pre-
pairing to accede to the terms of the COM
pany. All these reports, however, are de-
MED by the leaders, and it is announced
that it is to be war to the end.
Much comment was occasioned by the
statement of Manager Prick, in an inter
strikers would have accepted the terms of
the company but for the aggressive con-
duct of an obstreperous minority and that
now that the militia was ordered out he
expected the great majority of the strikers
to return to work under the protection of
the troops.
This assertion has aroused the strikers
to indignation. A meeting of five hun
bred mechanical employees this afternoon
adopted q resolution declaring that the
men would never return until the company
had conceded every demand of the Anal
gamated association.
The advisory committee of the strikers
have learned that alleged agents of the
Amalgamated association have visited sew
eral large cities of the country soliciting
subscriptions for the strikers. In
some instances these imposters
are said to have got large sums of
money, they having exhibited credentials
forged upon letterheads of the Amalgsms-
ted association which they had obtained in
some mysterious way. The advisory COM
mittee states that no man had been au-
thorized to solicit contributions for the
or hot fho l.
present in no need of financial assistance.
At a later stage, when the resources of the
association are exhausted, an appeal will
be made through the proper channel.
At late hour tonight perfect peace and
order prevailed at Homestead. The
streets are almost deserted. One reason
for this is that most of the population re-
tired early in order to be up by sunrise to-
morrow to participate in the reception to
the troops, who are expected to march into
the city at that time. The bands held
upon the airs of triumph that should be
played on the arrival of the militia.
A committee representing Mr.. McLuckie
and the advisory committee are to night in
Geographic communication with General
Snowden to ascertain the exact hour at
which the militia may be expected to-mor-
row. They have informed General Snow
den of the action of to days mass meeting,
and stated that information is desired that
the reception may be timed with the ar
rival of troops.
IMPORTANCE OF A GENERAL STRIKE.
A report is in circulation that an at
tempt to install non union men will be fol-
lowed by general strike of union men in
all the other Carnegie mills. When it is
known that the Homestead mills are
less than one-eighth of the vast Carnegie
interests, the Importance of a general strike
may be appreciated. There is little doubt
that pressure will be brought upon the
workmen of the other mills to urge them
to come out, and there is not much reason
to hope that such pressure will be success
full. One or more of the other Carnegie
establishments are already operated by
non-union labor, and in the other Carne-
gle mills there is no dispute upon wages
or anything else, the scale having been
signed for the ensuing year.
