Quiet R"igns at ifoi lrstcad- More Respect

HOMESTEAD. Pa, Ju,y u.-"N l. quiet at
Homestead" is watchword which has literal
significance and is without irony in it's appli-
cation in this little burg today For the fret
time since the beginning og this great labor re-
bellon the indications of a reyiying respect for
the law Of the state Of Peunsvl,auin and the
rights Of individuals are once more OBJ
served. The salstGry effect of Gov.
Pattscn's action in calling out the
| troops is already remarked In the radical
change that the past six hours have wrought
and personal freedom this morning was
! practically unrestrained. IL il true that now
and then some oyer-oiticious individual assumes
TO himself the right 10 investigate aud catechize
persons as they step from the train. hut such
instances are rare. aud the profound respect that
would have been accorded yesterday to such
person is signally wanting today.
| The locked-out workmen and the citizens OF
| Homestead who sympnthize with them have
taken peculiar attitude in regard 10 the ap-
proach of the militia. They realize the point
that the Carnegie mills are in Allegheny county
outside Of the borough Of Homestead and
claim that the borough Is in a poaceable con-
dition, which does not call for the intervention
of the armed forces Of the state Chief Byrne
| of the FIRE department, and who IL also a menu
ber Of the borough council, said 10 press
representative today that the troops are not
wanted in the borough, and that while there
VIII be no resistance the part Of the resi-
dents the officers will be informed that the
town is in the hands of its civil authorities and
! interference by state troops H. neither desired
nor necessary. Mr.. Bvrne declined 20 sav what
action would be taken if the troops enter the
| town. The chief Of police asked II he
| would meet the troops at the borough line and
| escort them into town. He replied: "No. We
will give them fellers a wide berth. We don't
want the militia in the town. They can go to
| the mills il they like"
John McLuckie. burgess Of the borough Of
| Homestead when informed Of Gov. Pattison's
action. said that while he could not speak au-
thoritatively for the people Of the town, yet
from what he knew Of them he certain that
! the state troops would meet with no resistance.
| He said as burgess Of Homestead he could say
that the dignity and honor OF the state is Just
| a. dear TO them as TO any community in the
| Union. lie said that the people have conducted
their affairs quietly and intelligently and
be relied upon 20 offer resistance TO the state
| troops. One Of the strikers who was standing
near said: What Not IL they come in here to
| shoot us down lilD dogsr"
| The burgess assured him that that was not
| their intention, but the man persisted in say
4 ing that if the militia interfered with the mill
mems affairs there will be trouble. In antici-
patton Of the arrival of troops this morning the
price of all eatables has greatly advanced. Beef,
which yesterday sold at ~ cents pound, is 20
cents. Other supplies have equally increased

DYNAMITE RuMoRs-
Early IN the day there was recurrence OF those
rumors that dynamite had been planted under
the Carnegie mills and that they would be blown
TO the sky before they sbould be oecupied NV
others than the inbabi,ants OF Homestead but
these reports found no more credence than the
extravaennt ana very mvsterious rumors that
high explosives were being placed under the
tracks and bridges over which the militia must
pass and that the avencing wrath of anarchy
would descend upon thi, capitslfstic army hc-
fore il could invade the CITY of Homestesd.
