WHEELING, w. MONDAY MORNING, JULY 1S 1892

will go through this struggle without
asking dollar from the outside.
"a great deal of help has been sent TO
US by our friends who believe in the
principle we represent, and this we will
use to provide for the laborers and the
others who are not members OF our
body, but who are affected by this con-
fiict. II the outside help should cease
we can still care for them. In word
we are just in this position: we are ask
ing no odds of anybody, but are making
this fight on our own resources. we
want the sympathy Of our friends, and
we court the enmity of every man who
Is hostile TO organized labor. Help
sent to us will be used for the two
thousand men not members of our Asso-
citation, idle on account of this differ
ence, but If the help were not sent we
would still charge ourselves with their
support and go forward"
UPIN THE CAMP
to-day a Sabbath stiffness reigned. Dl-
vine services were held in some of the
regiments but not in all, and the SER
mons were listened TO by the great
crowd of visitors who hocked into the
camp. Rev. Mr.. Gerhard, OF the
Twelfth; told his flock that as citizens
they must obey American law and as
soldiers they must enforce its obedience.
When called to the colors there was but
one plain duty for every National
guardsman, and every soldier in Amer
lea and that was honestly, heartily and
Loyalty to obey the orders issued by his
superior officers. In the town Dulpits
the strike was referred to, but the ef-
forts of the clergymen were chiefly d.
rected to allaying the excitement OF the
past two weeks and none of the clergy
took strong ground save in urging arbi-
tration.
THE RUSH OF PEOPLE
from outside to-day was something mar
velous. The one o'clock train alone on
the Pennsylvania road brought over a
thousand, fully half of whom were Of the
gentler sex. Seats, aisles and platforms
were iammed with passengers and scores
of persons were left behind at the start,
the gates being shut in their faces,
owing TO the lack OF accommodations.
1t was sweltering day on the open
hills, and many of the crowd wished
before the day was ended that they had
been left in Pittsburg. The soldier boys
had no pretty holiday aspect. Many
of them were unshaven, and all were
tanned and dusty. So fercely did the
sun beat down against the white barb
wire surmounted fences that the sem
tries who ever possibly could improvise
tents with their blankets, using
guns and bayonets for support. In
other cases they crept under freight
cars, or around shady corners to escape
the peculiar combination of heat made
by the sun shining on the heaped up
Stag that forms the fort-like foundation
of the huge fence around the hundred
or more acres OF the Carnegie enclosure.
The evening brought almost the only
reward of the sight seers or relief from
monotony of the soldiers-the dress
parade In front Of General Snowden's
Headquarters on the hillside. The 90
600 spectators formed in a great hollow
SQUARE, within which the infantry and
cavalry nanouvred for nearly an hour,
making sight in the sunset at once
picturesque and imposing. Then came
grand stampede for the trains and
after night closed in the little town
looked deserted with a forbidding air
that seemed a foreboding Of evil.
THE MEETING AT DUQUEsNE.
To-day's meeting of the employees of
Carnegie's non-union works at Duquesne
did not prove Of sensational character.
The estimates Of those present, aside
from delegation of Homestead men,
run from 600 down TO less than 100.
There are about 1000 employe in the
Duduesne establishment. Vice-Presi-
dent Kearney, OF the Amalgamated
Association, at whose instance the
meeting was called, was among those
present, and he, with Messrs. McLukle,
Coyla, Lynch and Roberts, of Home
stead: Williams, of the Thirty-third
street mills, in Pittsburg, made ad-
dresses. Two or three Duquesne men
also spoke. The speeches were Of a ma
ture to arouse the sympathy and support
OF the Duquesne men for the Homestead
strikers. The only thing in the way Of
formal action was call for all present
to rise who wished to identify them
selves with a movement to organ
ize the workingmen OF Du-
ouesne. About 160 are claimed TO
have signified their willingness. The
100 we're instructed TO meet tomorrow
and take the preliminary steps to form
a branch OF the Amalgamated. Bur
CESS McLuckie did not coincide to-
night i'm assertions made in some quar-
ters that the Duquesne meeting
was a izzle. He said that an encour-
aging start had been made and pre-
dicted that within week practi-
cally all the men at Duquesne would be
in the ranks Of the Amalgamated. Once
they were organized vigorous action
might be looked for if the situation
made it seem wise. The Amalgamated
Association, he said, had an excellent
nucleus at Duquesne in a number OF
men VINO have held cards, although the
works had been without any local or
gantzed body.
