| REISBCRG, Pa, July 1.-The en-
tire division of the national guard Of
Pennsylvania, about 5000 mon, have
been ordered to Homestead TO support
Sheriff McCleary In suppressing the
riots ut that place. This action of tho
governor was taken on receipt of the
following dispatch:
Robert L. Pattson. governor. Harrisburg, Pa.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 10.-Thc situa-
ton at Homestead has not improved.
While all is quiet here the strikers are
in control and openly express to me and
to the public their determination that
the works shall not be operated unless
by themselves. After making all eff
forts in my power, l have failed to
secure a posse respectable enough in
numbers to accomplish anything and
am satisfied that no posse
raised by civil authority can do any
thing to change the condition of affairs
and that any attempt by an inadequate
force to restore the right of law will
only result in further armed resistance
and consequent loss of life. Only a.
large military force will enable me to
control matters If such force is sent
the disorderly element will be over
awed and order will be restored, I
therefore call upon you to furnish me
such assistance.

militia, 5000 strong had been ordered
out and would arrive in Homestead to-

This little sentence expresses as fully

be ushered in by the advent of the
militia As long as this army of mill
tiamen are on the ground there will be
no opposition from the strikers, no law
lessness and no violent demonstrations.
Shortly after midnight hurried cali |
