Returning Pinkcrton Men Give the story OF
Their Fight to reporters.
CmcAGo, llt, July lO.-A number of the
Plnkertcn men who were in the fight at
Homestead returned to this city last even
ing One of them told reporter a thrilling
story OF their experience on the barges.
at was place of torment said he. "Mcu
were lying around wounded and bleeding
and begging pitoousy for some one 20 give
them drink Of water, but no one dared to
get drop, although water was all around
US. We dared not move Tor fear of sharp
shooters on shore. We were hungry, too,
although there was plenty to eat on
the barges, but the fear of beng shot
in going for it overcame the cravings
OF hunger. And then the booming of
cannon, the bursting OF dynamite bombs, tue
burning oil on the river and the yells and
shouts on the shore made the torturcs ap-
palling 1t is "A wonder we did not all go
crazy or commit sui eide. Some of the men
were greatly affected, and one man became
crazy and Kept shouting: 70, don't kill me;
for Gods sake don't kill me p and when near
Cleveland he jumped from the train and, 1t
Is said, was killed"
Had Enough of Homestead.
The men were all taken from Pitts ourg to
New York, from which CITY the Chicagoans
returned. One of those who came in said to
reporter: Every one of them appeared to
nave been caught in the shuttle and hurt
some way or other Blackened eyes were
most popular in the party, with broken or
bruised heads close second. Some OF the
poor fellows limped. while others were un-
able to use their arms and hands on account
OF cuts and bruises. i don't know how IT
was before our crew got hold of the men,
but after we took them, they could not have
been more uneasy and frightened if the train
had gone down through bridge. This feel
ing increased rs tho train approached Chi
cago. Some of the men seemed to have
gotten it into their heads that a mob was
waiting here to receive thom and give them
another dose like they got down east When
the traiG got to South Chicago one man got
up and left and he was followed by dozen
others, the lot of them sCampering off in
different directions. This was repeated at
all the stations as far as Twentv-second
street, except when any unusual sized crowd
happened to show up on the platform Then
our passengers crouched down in their seats.
l tell you felt sorry for them.n
Did any of the men tell you how they
happened TO 60 to Homesteadn
II talked to number Of them and they
nearly all said they had been misled, and
many of them seemed ID bitterly repent
having gone into the service at all, but you
could not get one of them back there il you
gave him the whole steel works"

vincc1 them that 1t was right. Little
groups gathered htl the street corners and
the situation Was discussed in low put
earnest tonesuf The hot-headed strikers
defiant and thefe were occasional declara-
tons that even the lniitia would be opposed,
but when 1t was learned that the DIVISION
ordered out numbered s 300, teose dcclara-
tions promptly gave way to ION, well, we
have beat the Pinkertons anyway. Tney
did not dare to come" aud thus consolation
is found in the refetXen that the most hated
enemy Of organized labor-the Pinke rton
guards-had been obliged TO confess defeat
an give up the battle.
Labor Leaders Uncommunicativc.
Tho leaders OF the strikers were unusually
uncommunicative. 1--WE can't talk,' was the
response to all interrogatlons. Later the
opinion was freely expressed by the rank ana
file that the militia would be received 10y no
hostile demonstration and that an arnistlco
would be declared until after their departure
But they will have to go away some time,
saiu the leader of little group near tho
depot, lana when they do we would like to
see them run the mill nonuuion."
This little sentence expresses, as fully as
possible, the situation that will be ushcred
in by the advent of the militia. AS long as
this army of mihtiamen are on the ground
there will DO no opposition from the strikers,
no lawlessness and no violent demonstra-
tlous But when the militia is withdrawn
the strikers will swoop down like birds OF
prey upon the non-uulonists, whom IT is
attempted to install in their places and they
will be rent to pieces by their enemies.
Fear They viii Smuggle in Pinkcrtons.
This is undoubtedly the plan of the strik-
ors and the chief fear of their leaders is now
that the Carnegie company will hasten to in-
stall the non-union worRnen i'll the mills I'M
mediately upon the arrival of tue militia. III
this is done, II great ad van tagc will be gained
by the company in the possession and occu-
paucy of the mill, and as an opportunity
would also doubtless be afforded them to
bring in arms for the defense of their worR-
men, the strikers would DO at a great disad-
| vantage on the retirement of the militia
AT midnight the horrible fear took posses
sion OF the strikers that the company might
| even sneak in PinkertOn men in disguise OF
| workmen, while the militia hold possession,
! and as such u move would mean practical
triumph over the strikers, the suspicion has
caused great perturbation Altogether the
| strikers are in very uneasy frame OF mind
| late tonight and their anxious faces give
| evidences o. their excitement. 1t Is possible
| that a feeling OF desperation over the pros
| poets may cause the hotter headed to counsel
| violence to the militia, but it is safe TO say
| such suicidal policy will not be approved
! by the leaders and if endorsed by the more
ignorant workmen will be carried out only
| in the face OF determined opposition fro IN
| the leaders.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July lO.-rho ministers
OF the gospel are still giving occasional
manifestations of their sympathy with the
strikers. All tho churches were largely at
tended this morning In anticipation of some
radical expression from the pulpit, and the
visitors were not disappointed.
At the Methodist church, Rev MIR. Thomp.
son OF the Genesoe conference today occu
pied the pllpit and made some forciole com
meuts on the existing strife.
When the world shall turn from seeking
i is own selfish ends" said he, "all Immoral
efforts of self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT will be things
of the past. We shall then indeed have
triumphant democracy, when earn cgie is
not king, but whom Christ is the acknowl-
edged Lord of hosts. lScAsatlonl. Then
the lion of capital shall lie down with the
lamb OF LABOR, aud there will be no Pinker-
tons TO destroy or HARM
Rev. Mcitlicr's sermon.
The manifestations of approval which fol-
lowed these expressions amounted almost to
applause.
The following sentences of Rev. MIR Nc
lller also received cordial approval:
"Whlle the surging waves of sorrow which
nave pressed heavily this community
during the past few days we pray that, with
confidence in God ard our hope of salvation
made more strong God grant comfort to
hearts That are watching today over their
wounded, aud the widows and mothers who

"Oh, God, we pray that demagogy NAV

brought to the front. G od grant that in all
these conflicts we may see salvation going
forward, peace and harmony triumphant.
prosperity reign again in our community as
IL has done in the past"
Rev. j. j. Bullion.
At ST. Mary's Catholic church on Tenth
avenue this morning at high mass, Rev. j. j.
Bullion spoke of the riot and the present
uneasy condition of the community. In
speaking of it afterwards Father Bullion
SAID: This is peaceaolc community. but

the Situation.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 10.-Adjutant Gen e
eral Greenland returned from Pitts burg this
morning and soon after called on q Governor
Pattison at tho executive mansion to report
the situation as he observed it at Homestead.
He gave the governor tho result of his inter
views with all classes of people and described
the status of affairs at the works. This
afternoon Major General George r. Suowden
arrived from Philadelphia end at once held a
conference with the state officials.
Major General Snowden said to an As
-oclated Press representative that while the
sheriff had not done all he could at the outset
OF the trouble, 1t was apparent that his
power to main tain the rights of the company
was gone. With twenty-five TO thirty depu-
ties In his opinion, the sheriff would be
permitted to take charge of the
works. He admitted that this would
be giving to the company con-
troll of the plant IN theory onlv while the
real condition of things would be otherwise.
In his talk with prominent business men and
leaders among the workmen at Homestead
and Pittsburg, the adiutant general learned
enough to convince HIM that the present
strained relations would result in an out
break the moment Carnegie would attempt to
introduce new men,
