FRIENDLY AID OFFERED.

kilograms rendering Assistance Pour in
From the East and west-sympathetio
Organizations Recommend the Workers
to Hold the Fort-Grsetings From
Kindred Unions.
The people of Homestead were in good
spirits yesterday. kilograms of congratula-
tion on their success in repelling the inva-
sion of the Pinkertons poured in and with
each telegram the hopes of ultimate success
reached point that could scarcely have been
deemed possible "a hours before. These
messages of encouragement came from the
Atlantic to the foothills of the Rockies.
They were read in the headquarters of the
locked-out workmen and their effect was
magical They represented the goodwill
wishes and offers of financial assistance
from at least go, 600 workers.
"Hoid the fortp' was the magnetic slogan
from the Builders Trades Council of Chi
cago, and it was taken up and sounded from
end to end of the little borough. There is
not a resident of Homestead whose SYM
pathies are not with the men who are fight
ing for a principle as well as bread and
butter, and the merchants and tradesmen
are imbued with all the feeling and the
enthusiasm of the workmen. Their inter
ests are it might be said, identical, and the
elation of the one is the delight of the
other.
Early yesterday forenoon a worker in
discussing the situation stated that Car
negie, Frick & Co. might in time succeed
in starving the men into submission, but
the kilograms contained such golden prom
ises of pecuniary aid that even this posi-
bility is looked upon as beyond considers
tion for the present at least. One of the
most cheering messages was from Chicago:
Hugh o'Donnell, Strikers, Headquarters, Home
stead, Pa:
SIR-The Builders Trades Council, which
represents 10000 organized men engaged in
the building trades in Chicago, tenders
hearty CONGRATULATIONS on the manly stand
taken by the Homestead strikers and earn
estly hopes they will be successful in the
struggle now pending. If necessary call for
financial aid at once. Hold the fort at all
hazard. Yours fraternally,
j. O'CoNNELL, President r. wATsoN, Secre-
tary, B. T. c., of Chicago.
Another message was perfumed with the
pine laden air of the snow-capped Rock
les. Its terseness was characteristic of the
rugged men of the West It was dated
Deadwood, s. D., and read:
Hugh o'Donnell, Homestead. Pa.
The Black Hills Trades Assembly No e4s
and the Deadwood Assembly No; 2E send
greetings and heartfelt sympathy to you all
in your struggle for the right.
FRED ZIPP, ED. KIDD,
M. w. No. 217. NJ W. No. $40.
1t followed closely on the message from
Chicago and gave the men an inkling of the
widespread interest being taken in them.
Then star in the East shed ray OF hope
and encouragement upon the borough. The
men of little Rhody, always in the van, and
81 L., A.
lantic sent a greeting. 1t was dated Provi-
dence, and read:
Hugh 0'Donnell, John Purman and Others:
The workers of Rhode Island send greet
ing to their brothers in Homestead. Union
forever.
RHODE ISLAND CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
With such encouragement the men feel
that they will gain victory over Carnegie,

MILLMEN ON GUARD.

All the Railroads Being Closely Watched
for Trains Bearing Pinkertons-Train
Men in Sympathy With the Workers and
Promise Timely Warning.
The mill workers at Woods Run have
organized a watch service, and are guard
ing the tracks of the Pennsylvania COM
pany to see that no trains bearing Pinker-
ton men is permitted to come into the city.
They say that they have arrangements with
the Order of Railway Trainmen to send
them news of the coming of such train.
The mill men in Woods Run are idle,
and they are determined set of men.
There are about 200 of them, of whom 800
are employed In the various mills of the
Oliver Iron and Steel Company and the
Oliver and Roberts Wire Company The
others are workmen of the Pork House mill
of the Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company.
These mills are closed down, and the
men are temporarily out of work
They are organized into various lodges
of the Amalgamated Association. Many
of them are said to be in Homestead to as
sist the workmen there to hold their ground.
Those who have remained at home have,
through their lodge organizations, formed q
defense committee, composed of three men
from each local lodge This committee has
posted guards at various points along the
tracks of the Pittsburt, Ft Wayne and
Chicago Railroad and the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railroad. These men are taking
eight-hour turns and can call out large
body of men in short time.
The Railway Trainmen are affiliated with
the Amalgamated Association in the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Every brake
man of the roads is in sympathy with the
men at Homestead. If Pinkerton train is
brought from any point on either of the
Pennsylvania Company's lines it will not
get into Allegheny City as quietly and
easily as the train did last Tuesday night.
Word will be wired BY the trainmen
to the Committee at Woods Run and
an effort will be made to stop the train
at the entrance to the city. Express trains
or specials do not stop at Woods Bun sta
tion, but such train, if it conveys Pinker-
ton men, would be tagged.
Ihe mill men there believe that another
effort will be made to get Pinkerton guards
into the Homestead mills by sending large
forces from different directions at the same
time. They say they will take care of the
two roads running into Allegheny from the
West, and they expect mill men in other
sections Of the city to guard the approaches
by other lines

W. j. Campbell, Of Illinois, the short

Chicago. Mr.. Campbell is large, fine
looking man with very quiet manners.
His style is much like Senator Quay's-
rather secretive.
Mr.. Campbell said his resignation was
'When accepted the position" he re-
marked, ''it was conditional, and my
friends understood it. in that way. found
that my business would not permit me to

''Who will be your successor?"
II don't know. I came East on . busi-
ness trip, and have not been giving any at
tention to politics.
"It is thought here that Clarkson will be
the man."
IT have heard such talk myself, but I
don't know any more about it than you do.
1t has been said that reforming the lines
would injure the party. I don't think so.
The people in the West who imagine the
Democrats can carry Illinois are very much
mistaken. am confident that President
Harrison will be reelected"
Mr.. Campbell asked numerous questions
about the Homestead trouble. He said it
was outrageous to say that politics has any
thing to do with it. He does not believe
that the present labor difficulties will injure
the party.

PINKERToNs AT CINCINNATI
An Organizer There Who Has Been In
Pittsburg Strikes Before.

An Organizer There Who Has Been In
Pittsburg Strikes Before.
CINCINNATI, July 9.-[SpeciaL 1T has
been a rumor here for "a hours that special
agents of Carnegie and the Pinkertons were
in the city on some secret mission. There
was, however, until to-day lack of specific
information and provable statements To-
night it can be asserted as fact that one of
Pinkerton's most cunning men, a man who
has already had experience with Pittsburg
strikes, is In the city, and has been here
for 36 hours at least This man is A. P.
Geisler.
During the strike at Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Works in 1889 Geisler organized and
directed the armed private force that was
conspicuous at that time. In July of the
same year he was active in recruiting the
standing army that did duty at Homestead,
strike having occurred there. Geisler has
conducted his work here with the greatest
secrecy, and it is not quite certain whether
he is enlisting Pinkertons or securing nom
union men for the Homestead works. The
best information is that up to the present
time he has merely studied the field and
laid plans. though it is said he has already
sent dozen men to some rendezvous out
side the city. He will be closely watched
by union men here

HARRISBURG, July 9.-Although Gov
ernor Pattison has never thrown out the
least intimation that he has the calling of
troops into active service in view to main
hahn peace in Homestead, it has leaked out
that by his direction between $4,000 and
30, 600 cartridges have been shipped to a
Western point from the State arsenal
The sending of this ammunition is no sign
that the Governor has made up his mind to
invoke military aid in the settlement of the
labor dispute at Homestead, but is simply
a precautionary measure. The ammunition
has been transported to point where it can
readily be utilized if the Governor should
find demand for the interference OF the
militia of the State necessary.

ONLY FOR TARGET PRACTICE
III Cartridges werc Sent They Ara the
Usual Summer Shipment.

The report that $4,000 or 10000 rounds of
ammunition had been shipped yesterday to
the various National Guard organizations
in this vicinity created quite stir. A DIS
PATCH representative, after long search,
found an officer of the n. G. p who con-
sented to be interviewed.
He said the shipment of ammunition had
nothing to do with the present trouble at
Homestead. About this time of the year it
is the custom to send to each company the
amount Of ammunition necessary for target
practice and if any has been sent in the past
day or two it is for that purpose
''Then you are absolutely certain that no
ammunition has been sent to the local regi-
ments for use at homestead" was asked
"That is my candid opinion" said be-
