HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 8.-The first ag-
gressive move IN an attempt on the part
Of the earn gle Steel company to start
their mills in opposition to the wishes OF
the locked-out men was made yesterday,
but was unsuccessful. The mill workers
came off victorious at every point. Yes
terday morning the Carnegie Steel COM
pany applied to Sheriff McCleary, of AL
legheny county, for help in guarding their
Homestead property, and protection for
Hose men whom, they claim, are willing
and anxious to go to work, but are in fear
of bodily harm from the strikers.
Sheriff McCleary, accompanied by ex-
Sheriffs Gray and Cluly, came from Pitts
burg at noon and repaired to the strikers
headquarters, announcing that they

some deputies to guard the works later in
the day, but before doing so, wished per-

The Sheriff Asks for a Pass.
They asked for pass to visit to the in
terror of the mill, which was not only
given by the advisory committee, but q
ri of oh ha
sh eriff to show him everything in sight.
After an inspection of the works the
sheriff was escorted back to headquarsers,
where committee was awaiting him.
The chairman of the advisory committee
addressed the sheriff as follows: "Mr.
Sheriff, the Homestead people, both be-
fore this trouble came and since its precipi-
tation, have expressed their intention of
not only guarding their own property,
but the property of their employers, the
Carnegie Steel company, as well. The
property is not endangered, but the bring
ing into Homestead of deputies, ostensibly
for the purpose of guarding, what is not in
danger, is unnecessary. Now we, the peo-
pie of Homestead. wish to make an offer.
offered to Protect the Property.
1--WE will place from fifty to 500 of our
best citizens inside OF that mill to guard
that property if the firm think it is in dam
ger, and these men will protect the prop
erty with their own lives, if necessary; and,
further than that, bond of SO, COO will be
given for the faithful vigilance of each
man posted. We don't want deputy sher-
ifs here, as it will precipitate trouble,
and therefore make this offer" Sheriff
McCleary said that he was unable to &C.
cept the offer, although he acknowledged
the sense and fairness of the proposition,
and stated that he had been instructed to
bring fifty deputy sheriifs to Homestead
during the afternoon, and would do so.
Applied for an Injunction.
'You bring them ut your own risk. We
hereby dissolve the advisory committee,
and we will not be responsible for any
trouble which may accrue from their COM
ing" said the chairman. The sheriff then
left for Pittsburg.

A False Report About Pinkerton Men
An Understandable Scene.
The word that the advisory committee
had been dissolved, and that the sheriff
would attempt TO place his men inside the
works before night caused great excite
ment, and in less than an hour petition
was in circulation among the leading mer-
chants of the town praying Governor Pat
tison to repair to Homestead Immediately
and take some steps toward averting
trouble and possibly bloodshed which APP
peared near at hand. A few minutes after
o'clock word was received that seventy
five bluecoated Pinkerton men had just
landed at the Union station, Pittsburg, on
their way to Homestead, and fully 1000
men within u few moments were distrib-
uted along the railroad track near the sta
ton in readiness to receive the Pinkertons
should they attempt to land in Home
stead.
Arrival of the Deputies.
Although the workmen were disap-
pointed regarding the Pinkertons they
soon had excitement enough. At 4:30
o'clock word was received that ex-Sheriff
Cluly with eleven deputies, was rapidly
nearing Homestead on the Pittsburg, Vir-
gina and Charleston railway. dine at 4:48
A rush was made toward the City Farm
station, and when the train passed about
5000 people had congregated about the sta
ton, but the deputies did not appear. A
few moments later a mighty shout came
from 1900 people gathered at Munhall
station, above which is the main entrance
to the mill, telling the crowd below that

which followed was indescribable.
Had an Interesting Time.
The crowd at City Farm station were
compelled to come up alongside Of the
fence about 300 yards before getting on to
Eighth avenue, leading to Munhall sta
ton, and as every man wanted to be the
first to get to Munhall the narrow pas
sageway was crowded to suffocation by
the struggling mill workers all tumbling
over each other in their great haste.
When the crowd reach Eighth avenue
they were joined by larger crowd, all
pressing toward Munhall, and the sixty
foot street was hardly able to hold them.
In the meantime the deputies in charge OF
ex-Sherif Cluly were having an interest
ing time at the Munhall gate.
Law Makes Demand.
AS soon as the train stopped, the de-
puties headed by Cluly started toward the
gate, againsS which stood several hundred
brawny mill men. The deputies came
close up to the determined mill workers
who looked them square in the face with
out finching, or moving an inch. Ex-
Sheriff Cluly advanced and in clear
voice said: "Men, we command yon to
fall back and give us entrance to the
property of the Carnegie Steel company,
which we have been detailed to guard"

There was silence for moment, when
