received the following:
PTTTsBURG, July II.
GovERNoR PATTIsoN-The situation at
Homestead has not improved. While all
is quiet there 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 maxi
ing all efforts in my power have failed to
secure a posse respectable enough in num-
bers TO accomplish anything, and am satis
fled that no posse raised by civil authorities
can do anything TO change the condition Of
affairs, and that any attempt by an made
quate force to restore the right OF law win
only result in further armed resistance and
consequent loss of life. Only a large mill
tary force will enable me to control mat
ters. believe If such force is sent the dis
orderly element will be overawed and
order win be restored. ] therefore call
upon you TO furnish me with such assist
ance. WILLIAM II. McCLEARy, Sheriff
