The Locked-Out Men to BE Given
Aid.
PITTsBURG, July 9.-The Knights of
Labor of this, the Third district, are
now moving to aid the striking contin-
gent at Homestead. By tomorrow circu-
lars will be issued calling meeting of
all the master workmen of this district.
The meeting will be held at Labor hall,
Third avenue, Wednesday evening next.
The object of the meeting, as outlined
by Master Workman Dempsey, is to ar
range for aiding the striking workmen
in all possible means. Mr.. Dempsey
said that i'll order to get clear idea of
how matters stood Mr.. Hayes came here
to Investigate. After obtaining such he
left for the East.
II had a conversation with Have s."
continued Mr.. Dempsey, land portion
of it was of course pertaining to the
Homestead trouble. We also had Knights
of Labor matters to discuss. l have
nothing to say further than we are pre-
pairing for mass meeting on WedneS-
day. Each master workman will be
expected to give his views, then advise
his local union of our intended steps,"
One of the passengers on the east
bound train this morning was President
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Engi-
neers. He was going through to New
York, and did mol give out any infor-
nation concerning his visit to that
der seemed to know of his coming,
as he was not met by the
local officers. A labor leader, who
knew of Mr.. Arthur's arrival and desti-
nation, also that Mr.. Hayes, Of the K. of
L.. was bound for the East, ventured
prediction that there are preparations
OH foot for a general meeting of the
labor ''heads" somewhere in the East.
"rhat point" said he, lis New York
city. 1t has been printed that the lead
ers would meet at Homestead, but
feel satisfied they are heading for the
Empire city. Neither Powderly nor
Gompers is here, nor will they be in
Pittsburg. New York is where they
will come together, if at ALL"
Thirteen of the Pinkerton men are
still lying in the West Pennsylvania
hospital and represent the more serl-
Ously injured. The sixteen who left
last night for their homes, eleven going
east and five west, had fully recovered
and were able to take care of them
selves.
All of those remaining at the hospital
are suffering from guDshOt wounds,
and, With one exception, are IN fair
way to recovery. The most serious case
is that of E. A. Corter. of Brooklyn,
who is suffering from bullet wounds in
the left arm and thigh. The latter
wound will probably prove fatal.
The bullet cannot be located, Cor
ter is resting easier today, and one un-
aware of the Injuries would suppose
him convalescing. Attending ply
SicianS fear a relapse within a short
time. No special time has been set for
the discharge of the inmates from the
hospital. and each man will be sent
home as soon as the staff recommends
his discharge.
The Democratic county committee
met this afternoon and adopted resolu-
tons sympathiZing with the Homestead
strikers, condemning the importation of
armed forces from ether states. under
the pretense of being used as peace
officers, and indOrsing the action of
Gov. Pattison in refraining from order
ing out the militia until the local power
had been exhausted.
