esentatlves of the State by any Of

he efficacy of this police was dem

urnment this afternoon, by the
lOt arrest and escort to the lookup
an Incorporate striker, who Ques-
.ioned the wisdom OF receiving the mil
itia as friends and brothers and killing
the fstted calf in their honor.
The power Of organization was never
better exemplihed than in the graceful
unanimity with which the iron-workerS
this afternoon accepted the suggestions
OF their leaders and decided that the
troops should be received as friends and
not as foes, and that in contrast with
the reception 20 the hated Pinkertons,
the military should be welcomed by the
triumphant blast Of trumpets and the
music Of the bands.

that the PinkertOus have Satiated

strikers regard the advent Of the
DDS as the surest Indication that the

homestead no more, and much OF the
success Of to-day's meeting was due TO
the belief that the State militia was or
dered to Homestead as much TO prevent

'inkertOn's would provoke as to quiet

The mass meeting at Homestead this
lfternOOn was most significant and its
developments were awaited with in-

mtside The meeting was attended by
bout 5000 people and in this number
-gk(aboSn every one of the number who
shl 'ed mRslret and fought the
Pinkel ions in the bloody battle Of last
week. The meeting was called 70 order
by Hugh O'Donneil, who, after stating
that Burgess McLuckie would preside,
invited the representatives Of the press
TO the platform. They are the peo-

duct az any time. but he was promptly
suppressed. If 10 should be found at
