The most important action of the
meeting was the decision to accept the

WoRKMEN ARRIVE

At Observation-Disclosures show Evidence of
Wcakening-rhose Government Con-
tracts.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Oct. II-Thirty-two
of the steel workers who started from
Knoxville, Tenn, tor the Homestead
steel works, arrived this morning, via
swissvale. They were all white and
claim to be thorough workmen. One
Of the party stated that they had gone
south when the iron industry boom oc-
Cured in Alabama and Tennessee and
had worked at Sheffield, Birmingham
and Knoxville; that there is now a de-
preston in the iron trade there aud
that as a result they had been out Of
work for several months. They said
that there is a general desire among
steel workers who went south to get
back to the northern mills If possible.
Seventeen men were taken up on the
morning train to Munhall. The person
in charge said four of them had been
workers in Pittsburgh mills. Most of
the men we're Slavs. The company say
they are better fitted for yard work than
Americans. They handle pig iron
beams, ETC., with astonishing ease. Ar
mold Frank said that this morning fifty
OF the Homestead slavs had applied for
work and would be taken back.
Another unsuccessful raid Of Pinker-
ton rifles was made last night by the
detectives. They thought they had
fifty Of the guns to q certainty, but when
they entered tho supposed place of con
cealment there was nothing but empti-
ness.
Members of the advisory board seem
to accept as a foregone conclusion that
the grand jury will return true bills in
the treason cases. They expect, how
ever, that there will not be any convic-
tions on the charge. The men are APP
parently quite firm, but they are not as
confident as they used to be, and
whether it be from the suits or from
the appearance of the mill they are
moro and more subdued. One hears
daily here in conversations with strik-
ers that some brother striker Is weak
ening, but that it is hoped to keep him
in line. The report that the govern
ment has transferred the amor plate
contracts is not looked on with favor
here. Conservative men say that the
government orders were the only ones
which the Carnegie Steel Company was
pressed for and 1t wa because OF them
that it was especially DESTROYS for an
early settlement.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-10-12

outlined here have met with success.
The facts nave been reported al Repub-
lican headquarters. The available stock
OF local colofed tioaters is found TO be
much smaller than the Elder gang had
supposed it was, and this accounts for
the strenuous efforts now being made
to bring in thugs and toughs from the
outside.
The work. however, goes merrily on,
despite these ADVERTISEMENTS and de-
spite the TACT that the ballot law stands
in the way OF the Identification Of
voters. In the Eleventh Assembly Dis
irict, where there are between twelve
hundred and thirteen hundred colored
voters, extensive colonization and re-
peating is anticipated.
OF course, the chief support that these
fellows have received ONE from that
class Of the colored population who can
neither read nor write. 1t is proposed,
in order to make sure that the ticket
voted is really a Democratic ticket, to
bandage as many oil the co!onized voters
as possible, whether they can read or
write or not, and have them go into the
polling booth apparently crippled, with
their arms in slings and their eyes Gov.
cred. Then trusty election officers will
fix their tickets for them, and thus be
in u position to report that the goods
have been actually delivered. There
are indications that this plan may be
attempted generally, not only among
colored, but among many white voters
as well.
Committeeman Martins force Of de-
teCtives has been constantly employed
in ferreting out all these Democratic
schemes to corrupt the ballot, and their
reports enable him to know not only
what is going on in this city, but in
Rochester, Albany, Troy. Buffalo and
Syracuse. He has also regular sources
Of information concerning similar oper-
atoms in other states. The inspection
of the registry list will be complete for
both colored and white ~colonized voters.
The Republican national committee has
pledged itself to spare no effort for the
detection Of these frauds upon the fran
chise and to leave no stone unturned to
punish every effort great and small.
