QUIET AT HOMESTEAD
Continued from First Pdge.)

When the multitude assembled there was a
more than ordinary amount of inquiry as to the
possibility Of certain strangers being detectives
who were present for the purpose Of spotting the
officers Of some or the more prominent bearers
Of arms. The strangers were newspaper re-
porters, and that fact was speedily established,
but they we're halted at least dozen times and
compelled to produce their credentials.
Three Of us, who are well known to most Of
The strikers. had to get an escort before We
could with comfort proceed from the Amaiga-
nation headquarters to the electric light plant,
where we wanted TO secure information ns to
the telegram which brought about the sounding
of the alarm. There are some dsegreesble feat
rres in life at Homestead while present condi-
tons prevail.
STRIKERS DO NOT LIKE NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.
These strikers are averse to criticism. But
few men are truly philosOphic when the truth
Is being made manifest ~ 10 their actions and
the stock OF philosophers at Homestead is ex-
trernely small. As natural consequence
there seems to be friction between the
mill workers and the newspapers, not,
as vet, enough TO cause any concern, but
sufficient TO make things uncomfortable. 1

effect that the mill had been fired and that

such yarn, of course. operated to the detri-
ment of the strikers cause and they were justly
indignant. Unfortunately they do not easily
discriminate between the fair and the unfair
Newspapers and the cloud rests upon the entire
corps Of correspondents. Out of this general
suspicion came a rumor this morning to the
effect that within n few hours every newspaper
representative and every news telegraph opera
tor would be requested to leave town. That is
a most improbable story, but there are hun
dreds Of strikers who think the idea should be

MORE PINKERTONs EXPECTED.
Homestead Excited by Reports Of Men Sent
From Cincinnati.


HOMESTEAD, Pa, July s.-shortly after 2
O'Clock this morning Hugh ODonnell, the
leading Amalgsmated man here. received tele-
gram from Cincinnati informing him that, in
accordance with orders from the Carnegies and
Pinkerton detective agency, workmen were en-
gagged in remodeling a number Of freight cars
for use at Homestead The telegram further
stated that the cars were being made bullet and
hreproof, with numerous rife holes provided;
that each car is being stocked with rations suf-
ficient to feed a small army several days. Ac-
cording to advices received at late hour the
Plnkertons were preparing to place the cars in
charge of from 800 to 400 armed men just as
soon as everything is in readiness to pull out
for the scene of hostilities. OF course the re-
ceipt of this news, coming as it did from what
the men consider o reliable source, has caused
renewed excitement. Committees have been
appointed to watch carefully every train ap-
preaching the place, while several reliable men
have gone TO Pittsburg, where they will take up
their posts in the railroad yards and wire in
formation here when the train puts in an ap-
pearance.
Committees placed arms and ammunition in
the hands of Trustworthy men, and any attempt
by tine company or by Sheriff McCleary and his
deputies to take possession Of the works will be
met with determined and organized resistance
The alarm sounded last midnight, followed SO
closely by the startling telegram of warning
from Cincinnati, has stirred up the men and
they are in no mood to be trifed with. num-
Der of determined individuals came down from
the general headquarters a few minutes ago and
stood at the foot Of the stairway discussing the
situation. Their conversation was plainly over
heard.
One Of them said: "Every man must be well
armed today. We must see to it that every
rifle in our possession is in good hands. Plenty
OF ammunition must be distributed. When
done bows vii he in q u.
keep out every man, be he blackleg or white
leg None of the sheriff's deputies must be al
lowed TO enter the works. We must show a solid
front" The men then carried away large box
containing several hundred rounds of cart
ridges. They evidently have plenty Of So and
4icalber cartridges and are prepared to resist an
equal force of men. South Side iron workers
are this morning guarding the works with re-
peating Winchester rifles in their hands. It
looks very warike indeed

to be ordered out Is without foundation Should
men be needed there are enough in the second
brigade in the western part Of the state"
WE'RE THE oAaNEoIks' MEN DEPUTIES?
The statements a. to whether or not the
Pinkerton men were sworn in as deputies are
very conflicting. sheriff McCleary says they
were not, but the Carnegie people insist that
they were.
E. r. Spear Of Chicago, who is at the IVES,
Pennsylvania Hospital, confirms the statement
of the Carnegies. He says they were sworn in
that he was with the party, but asserts that he
did not administer the oath to them. The ques-
ton will be important one in settling the
question of responsibility.
THE WOUNDED.
All Of the wounded at the West Pennsylvania
Hospital are in fair condition and will recover,
except, perhaps, E. A. Covert Of Brooklyn, who
has terribly shattered right arm and thigh,
Pat McGof Of Ontario street, Chicago, who has
bad wound in the abdomen; s. c. Fred.
Prumer of 1915 What street, Philadelphia,
whose skull is terribly injured and who, il ID
feared, has sustained internal injuries. These
three are in q critical condition and may not
recover.
The bodies of the five residents Of Homestead
have been taken in charge by their friends.
The bodies of the two hnkerton men were
eAppeu 70 lineage yesterday AterNOOn, ana
the body Of the italian, Sappo, will probably be
buried by the county.
Burgess o Donnell and John F. Cox, repre-
sentiug the vorkmen, left for Harrisburg last
night to enlighten Gov. Pattison on the
situation.
THE MATTER OF CONCESSIONS.
The statement made by II. G.. rick, chair
man OF the Carnegie Steel Company, that q
of the Amalgamated Association
had offered to concede all the demands Of the
company at Homestead with the exception Of
the one about the expiration Of the scale is re-
peated by Secretary Lovejoy. Mr.. Lovejoy
said: 1T was given us to understand at the
time that all the conditions We asked would be
acquiesced in by the men, except the change Of
the date of the scales expiration. We could
not consider the offer, as we will not negotiate
with the Almaganlated Association.
President VIM Weihe of the Amalgamated
Association when seen about the matter said:
''N hat 1 wanted when 1 asked for the confer
ence vas peace. / wanted to do something to
stop the trouble at Homestead. mn,;e no
statement that the conditions would be con-
ceded. What said was that the only point Of
difference was the question as to when the scale
should expire, and with that out of the way
WAS satisfied that the rest could be arranged
aIaicab!y. That was all said Ihad no power
from the Homestead men and did not want to
interfere with their scale settlement, . matter
to which they attend themselves. simply
wanted 20 do something to stop the dreadful
doings at Homestead. What did was In the
interests of peace"

HOMESTEAD. July Sat . mass meeting Of
the workmen held this afternoon the speakers
counseled the workmen to not oppose the
county sheriff and his posse, O. they had
nothing to fear from him. The men who he
might bring would doubtless be friendly to them
and would not turn their guns upon them.
immediately at the close Of the meeting Presi-
dent Weihe and others Of the Amalgamated
officials left for Pittsburg to consult with the
sheriff
Lawyers here have been coasulted as to
proper proceedings in accordance with law to
prevent the Pinkertons from establishing them
selves in Homestead, and it u probable that no
force will be used, should Pinkerton men ap-
pear on the scene, until legal resources have
been exhausted.
There are 1000 idle men In and about Home
stead, and no trouble has been experienced in
securing sufficient number for guard duty.
TERMS OF THE woRKMxM
$50 pm.
The following is Official information Of the
exact terms on which the workmen are willing
to allow the deputies to enter
tho works. II they can prevent
it, no armed deputies, either
county or Pinkertons will be allowed to take
possession. They propose that well-known
business men Of Homestead and Pittsburg, Of
good reputation and known to the workmen, be
appointed to do guard duty at the steel works
unarmed.
A committee has gone 10 confer with the
sheriff. II the above is not satisfactory to him
all negotiations will be declared OF.
