a tension that renewal of hostilities

morning reports were circulated that
the Pinkcrton's were at the city's out
skirts, and the scramble that succeeded
these announcements would have been
ludlcrous but for the gravity of the stu

prepared for the impending battle only
to be apprised an hour later that the re-.

does come it may fall on unheeding ears
and the opposition may be within the
city limits before the call of battle is
sounded.

PITTsBuRG, July 10..--The prospects
are now that the fight between the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers and the Carnegie Steel
Company at Homestead will extend to
the other Union mills of the company
unless the company agrees to reopen ne
gotiations with the Homestead steel
workers. 1t is probable that the anal.
gamated men at their Twenty and
Thirty-third street Union mills, and at
their Beaver Falls mill will support
! their brethren on the Monongahela. An
enthusiastic meeting of 200 Amalga-
mated Association men in dead earnest
was held to-day in the union hall
Those present represented FIVE lodges of
the Amalgamated Association at Carne-
gie's Union mills. A number of the
leaders of the Homestead men were
present. The speeches were short, but
pointed and were heartily applauded.
10 the reporters, waiting outside pink
erton thugs, flight to the end, make
stand together" were frequently audi
bic. When the meeting adjourned the
| chairman gave out the official statement
| that committee of five had been APP
| pointed to confer with ii. G, Frick,
chairman of the Carnegie interests.
The object of the proposed conference
| was stated to be u request to Mr.. Frick
TO reopen negotiations with the Home
stead men. The request will be made,
1t is stated, as coming from employees
who belong 10 the same organization.
1t was also stated that the question of
striking had not been discussed Later,
however, it was learned that the subject
had been under consideration at the
meeting. A vote was taken and it was
decided unanimously to stand by the
Homestead men.
A prominent worker who was at the
meeting said: at has not come to the
point yet when we will strike, but you
can judge for yourself as to the situa.
tion. If we are whipped ut Homestead
this year we will be attacked AT theil
Union Mills next year"
The Union Mills started to work to,
night as usual. They employ $500 men

PIrTsRuRG, July 9.-All labor organize
tions in Allegheny county are thoroughly
alive TO the situation Of their brother
members at Homestead. They are holding
meetings and adopting resolutions Of
sympathy, and offering moral and finan-
cial aid, and committees are being APP
pointed to act with committees from
Homestead, The matter or combined
action on the part of the labor organiza-
tions is now being discussed.
In this move the preiudices that exist
between the different organizations are all
being forgotten. The men realize that IL is
n fight against organization and to battle
for it they will unite. Already the Pttsburg
mill men who work along the Mononga-
hela have established communication with
the Homestead leaders, and are ready to
send word ut once of any suspicious action
on the part of the boats. These guards
are on duty day and night. Among the
organizations offering aid to the Home
stead workmen are the Knights of Labor
and Window Glass Workers Unions.

WERE THEY SWORN AS DEPUTIES?
PITTsRuRd, July S.-The statements as to
whether or not the Pinkerton men were
sworn in rs deputies are very conflicting.
Sheriff McCleary says they were not, but
the Carnegie people insist that they We're.
y. r. Spear of Chicago, who is at the West
Pennsylvania Hospital, confirms the state
ment Of the Carnegies. He says they were
sworn in by Deputy Sheriff Gray. The
latter admits that he was with the party
but asserts that he did not administer the
oath to them.

opinion here is that had the militia np.
peared on the scene, the bloodshcd would
have been much greater. The advent of
the armed and uniformed men OF the state
troops TO guard the Carnegie works, To act
as protectors of the non-union men,
would have excited the strikers to all
possible resistance. These men at Home
stead are so well organized, are under such
perfect control, and are SO great in num-
bers that q conflict between them and the
militia might be long and would Ger
tainly be bloody one. Under these cir
cumstances the governors careful survey
of the state of affairs and his conservative
action call for unqualified approval from
all sides.
A deputy returned from Homestead this
morning, and ne states that the taking of
a posse to that place will surely bring
about a conflict and the scenes of yester
day will be re-enacted. The men are
flushed with yesterdays success and are
unreasonable; they will fight to the end.
WHY THEY WERE SENT AWAY.
HOMESTEAD, July There is much sur
prise here over the reported release by the
sheriff of the Pinkerton guards. When
the men agreed not to kill the guards it
was with the understanding that the
guards should be placed in Jail until infor-
nations for murder could be sworn out
against them. The report of their release
excited much angry discussion at first, but
this was quoted when il was remembered
that If the men appeared rs witnesses they
would themselves be liable to prosecution
for riot. Several of the leaders expressed
lrelief over the release and believed that
'therewould beno legal complications arise
