HOMESTEAD, July 7.-Nothing occurred
to disturb the peace or quiet until
about 9 tonight, when the men
were aroused to indignation by efforts of
lars. The men denounced the appearance
of the circular az gotten up for the purpose
of injnring their cause. Four men be-
lieved to have been guilty of distributing
these circulars were caught and were
placed aboard train and sent out of town
with directions to stay out. The ruin
incident to yesterdays preparation
for warfare has been repaired, the dis
mantled fence around the works has been
rebuilt, the yard has been cleared of all
debris and inside the old watchmen per-
form their customary patrol. No reason
able man doubts, however, that fighting
would be resumed at once if another at
tempt was made to introduce Pinkertons.
The town is picketed, and no man can
enter without his presence being noted.
The men intend that the works shall not
be taken by surprise. They are stronger
now in numbers and death dealing equip
ments.
A number of men, estimated as high as
800, arrived late in the night from Pitts
burg, and to-day some numbers came from
various places. What will happen if an
of the works for the firm with other than
answer cannot be made at present.
QUIET AT Ink MILLS.
At late hour it WAS reported that ev-
erything was quiet at Homestead.
FUNERAL OF THE DEAD STRIKERS.
The aged pastor of the Methodist church
here in sermon over the body of John
Morris, one of the killed workmen, said
that in his opinion the Pinkertons had
been sent here for blood, If that
were necessary, to non naturalization of
the mills. He gave commendation to
the men and evidently is firm in belief
that to Mr.. Prick is attributable the trouble
between employers and employed. He
spoke of MIR. Prick in scathing terms as
men with no more sensibility than a toad.
There we're three funerals during the after
noon.
PROSPECTS FOR SETTLEMENT.
Two conferences were held to-day be-
tween the iron manufacturers and the
Amalgamated'o officials on the western scale.
An adjournment was taken until O'Clock
tomorrow. At the adjournment pro-
spects for a settlement were more
favorable than at any time since neeotia-
tions were-opened. 1t was learned that
certain parts of the scale on which
the manufacturers had asked modi6ca-
tions were presented and a number of
items were favorably considered by the
| Amalgamated, but were not finally
| on reliable authority that the diff
| ferences will very likely be compromised
| by a scaling down of the wages of heaters
| and rollers as concession on the part of
the workers and the payment of $3.50 a
ton for pudding as a concession on the
| part of the manufacturers.
| PARALYzING TRADE.
CHICAGO, July IA committee headed
by Thomas A. Campbell from the Amalga-
mated Iron and Steel association, the
locked-out employees of Carnegie's at
Homestead, have reached this city to con-
fer with the building trade as to whether
they will handle the output of the Car
negie mills if nonu union men are en-
ployed there. They visited the Archi-
tectural Iron Workers and presented
their case. They asked that all steel and
iron now in Chicago be handled, but il
non-union men were put to work none OF
their product be handled by union labor.
No action was taken, but the com
mittee was assured that the entire
matter would be investigated, and that
non-union made steel and iron. The othel
building trades of the city are of the same
opinion, and the outlook is that in few
days the various trades will cease handling
steel and iron from the Carnegie mills
The committee said similar committees
had been sent simultaneously to ethel
large cities in the land, and as a result o.
the difficulty at Homestead the steel ano
iron building industry in all the larg'
cities may be paralyzed.
