In my power have failed to secure a
posse respectable enough in numbers to accom-
piish anything, and I am satisfied that no
posse raised by the civil authorities can do
anything to change tho condition Of affairs, and
that any attempt by an inadequate force to re-
store the right of law will only result in further
armed resistance and consequent loss Of life
Only large military force will enable me to
control matters. l believe If such force is sent
the d1sorderly element will be overawed and
order will be restored. therefore call upon
you to furnish me such assistance.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1.-THE news
chat the governor had ordered out the
state troops created great excitement
here Sunday night. It was not re.
ceived until II o'clock and most of the
strikers had gone home. Those
who remained on the streets
hastily gathered together and dis
cussed the meaning of the new
move. ''Will the soldiers protect tho
black sheep if Carnegie tries to start
up with non-union men?" was the chief
question. Many of the men who
fingered on the streets refused to be-
lieve that the troops had been called
out and said that it was like all of the
every night.
The hot-headed strikers were at first
disposed to be little defiant, and there
were occasional declarations that even
the militia would be opposed, but
when it was learned that the di-
vision ordered out numbered 5000
men, these declarations promptly gave
way O1l, WILL We 1dVC UCdO Vic
Pinkertons, anyway; they did not dare
10 come. . and thus consolation is found
lii the reflection that the most hated
enemy of organized labor-the Pinker-
Ion guards had been obliged to CON
less defeat and give up the battle.
The leaders of the strikers were un-
usually uncommunicative. s'We can
not talk was the response to all in
terrogations. Later the opinion was
freely expressed by the rank and file
that the militia would be received by
no hostile demonstration and that an
armistice would be declared until after
their departure. '.But they will
have to go away some time said the
leader'of little group near the depot,
land when they do we would like to
see them run the mill non union
The most important announcement
made by the local committee Sunday
was that the men here do not wish to
submit their cause to arbitration now
that the Carnegie company has taken
such decided stand against the Anal
gamated association. The communion
ton from the Universal Peace union
offering to provide an impartial court
of arbitration does not meet with favor.
They have been receiving hundreds
of letters and kilograms from labor
unions all over the country urging them
to stand firm in the fight against Car
negie. Pledges of money and provisions
have come from almost every state in
the union. Campaign clubs have for
warded kilograms denouncing the pro-
lection barons.
