MEN SENT BY STEAMER.
Evidence That the Carnegie WORKS VIII
Soon BE Started.


P1rrsBuRG, Pa, July 22.-The steamer
Tide left the wharf here at 9 O'Clock
this morning for Homestead, with about
forty men on board. She will continue
to make trips all day, carrying men 10
Homestead, in connection with
the Little Bill, which took up
load early this morning. Inc
boat was guarded by squad
of policemen to prevent trouble at
the wharf or at lock No. l. At the Oh
fee of the Tide it was learned that the
boats would be busy all day, and 1t IS
evident that large number OF men VIII
be sent up. All morning men with
satchels and bundles were going to
and coming from the Offices of the
company, and it looks as II the
company were carrying, out thelr
inten tion and making good their ne t cam nm
that all the men needed could be oo-
tanned. AS soon as the Tide left three
men. evidently watchers, went IN the
Monongahela House and sent messages
by the Western Union, evidently to
Homestead, to notify the men there
that the Tide had left.
STRIKERS ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.
An address from the advisory board
of the strikers association, counselllng
peace and good order, was made public
about the time Gov. Pattison's train was
disappearing in the distance. The state
ment is as follows:
The most evident characteristic OF our
time and country is the phenomenon OF in
dustrial civilization which is putting the
control OF each of our great national H.
dustrles into the hands of one man or
few men, and giving these men
an enormous despotlc power oyer oyer
employees and subordinates-thegr great mass
of the people; a power which eviscerateS
cur national constitution and our common
law, and directly anti COMICS the spirit OF
universal history in its worldwide strug-
gle after life and liberty; power which,
t the re snPes Of M it to n
to suit themselves" is nothing
more or less than right to
manage the country. The employees in the
mills of Messrs Carnegie, PhippS & Co.,
at Homestead have built the town. with
have been faithful co-workers with the
company in the business of the mill. In
addition to the ordinary gifts and
advantages of our government, the
national legislature has seen fit
to sReeay foster tba ana of er
mills, and the state of Pennsylvania is TO-
day guarding it at great and extraordinary
expense. Therefore the committee desires
to express to the public, as its firm belief,
that both the public and employees afore-
SAD have eaqda;nle IlSn esnn ahq Ia lml o
ified or diverted without due, process OF
law; that the employees have the right to
continuous employment in the said mill
during efficiency and good behavior,
without regard to political or economic
against public policy and the funda-
erty that whole community of
workers shall be denied employment
or suffer any other detrlment on account
party, or a trades union; that it is our duty
as American citizens to resist by every
legal and ordinary means the uncOnStltu-
tional anarchistlc and revolutionary policy
OF thes Carnegie Company, which seems
to evince contempt of public and
private interests and q disdaln Of public
conscience by its refusal to submit to law
full arbitration, and by the lawless impor-
tation of band of armed men to forcibly
deprive the employees of their equal rights
thereupon. and without previous appeal
to the lawful processes OF Allegheny
County and the state of Pennsylvania.
The committee wishes it known that we
will prosecute the said pubic and private
interests in the courts OF law and equity,
and that the state has duty to Judge the
affairs OF such concerns, when oc-
caslon may require. Finally, we de-
sire to state emphatically that as
defenders Of and petitioners for law and
order, we pledge ourselves to refrain from
violence and lawlessness, and that we rest
our cause with the people as the peoples
cause, as the cause OF American liberty as
+ against Anarchy on the one side and deS-
potism on the other.
NO CONFERENCES WITH STRIKERS.
The departure of Gov. Pattison from
Homestead at noontime was the event
to-day In that place. His destination
was the state capital: Just before leav--
emphatically that no change had
been made in the orders to the
troops and that none was being contem-
plated. If there had been any hope
that the Governor would make per-
sonal investigation among the strikers
during his stay here, the expectation
was disappointed. Up to the time Of
taking the train for Harrisburg,
he confined his movements to
An official farewell visit to Gen. Snow
den. None of the local leaders of the
strike were invited, directly or indirect
ly, to lay their case before the Governor:
and neither party showed any DISPOSE
ton to ask for his aid.
STRIKERS STILL STAND FIRM.
On the way to Gen. Snowden's head
quarters on "Shantv Hill," the Govern
or passed directly in front of the long
row of one-storied tenement-houses
known as company houses" and
on the top of the hill he was almost
in stone throw of the one-story habita-
tons, from which the place
takes its name-"Shanty HILL"
On the doorsteps of nearly all these
at the approach of stranger, expect
ing to be served with an eviction notice.
None of the dreaded strips of paper
were distributed. At the strikers
headquarters the mems ranks were re.
