The struggle would be maintained without
regard to the merits or dement's of the bust
ness differences between them.
A Statement From O'Donnell.
Mr.. O'Donnell made q long statement
relative to the differences between en-
ployers and the employed, describing the
scale Of wages and insisting that the trouble
was due to the refusal of the Carnegie Com
pany to treat with its workmen. Coke and
O'Donnell strongly intimated that if an
arbitration of existing differences could be
secured the existing trouble would be
readily settled. The chief obstacle to a
settlement was the opponents determine
tion of the employers not to treat with
/abor organizations and to hereafter employ
mo union men.
Coke. said the citizens of Homestead
would be glad to have the Chief Executive
Of the State propose plan to arbitrate the
labor differences, but the Governor made no
response to the suggestion.
Attorney General Hensel, who gave the
above as the result of the conference, said
that he asked Mr.. O'Donnell what would
be the probable effect of an effort on the
part of the Carnegie Company to employ
non-union men, to which the former replied
the strikers would have to submit, as the
corporation had the legal right to employ
whom they pleased.
The Views of the Governor.
in conversation before the arrival of the
committee from Homestead Governor Pat
tison expressed some desire to know the
sentiment of the people regarding his
course in this contingency. He said it was
an easy thing to call out the troops but an
entirely different thing to recall them. The
people had come to look upon the National
Guard as the natural preservers Of peace, and
as q consequence the civil authorities when
trouble comes turn to the State authorities
without exhausting the powers with which
they are invested. This he thinks, great
mistake, as the tendency of such course is

Inent, which is danger it is we'll to avoid.
The Governor thinks the situation at Home
stead greatly improved, and hopes the
trouble may be settled without further re-
sort eo force
The Attorney General left no doubts in
the minds of the representatives of the
press ss to the Governors intention to use
all the power of the State, if necessary, to
protect all parties in the enjoyment of their
rights, snd the committee can hardly con-
strue the Governors language into an init
nation that he will sympathize in any man.
uer with an infraction of the law, no matter
by whom committed.
On the way to the station to take the
train for home the committee expressed
themselves as being satisfied with the con-
ference and the position of the Governor.
One member said the Governor was stern,
but he admitted that he would be also in a
similar position.

Fifteen Hundred Men Gather to DeDounce
Pinkertonism-Carnesie & Co. Charged
with a Determined Attempt TO Break
Up Organized Labor.
COLUMBUS, O., July s.-[Specia'. 8. The
Columbus Organized Trades held mass
meeting at the east front of the State
House tonight for the purpose of giving
expression to their feelings upon the
Homestead tragedy. The President OF the
Trades Assembly presided, and the Four
teenth Regiment band furnished music.
There were 800 present
Some of the speeches were very radical,
while others were of conciliatory nature.
The cause of the outbreak was in great
measure attributed to personal reasons and
a desire upon the part of Carnegie & Co. to
break up organized labor at their works
Tue Pinkerton detectives were denounced
BY all the speakers, and no language was
too strong for their condemnation.
The sentiment expressed was that if labor
is compelled to resort to force to get fair
share of the results of their labors it would
do So The idea was that the Homestead
affair had brought an end to Pinkertonisrn
in Pennsylvania The employees were COM
~
they had taken, and Senator Palmer was
eulogized for his position in justifying the
men.
As the Pinkerton forces had been driven
from Ohio, they believed the same con-
dition would soon be reached in Pennsyl-
vania j. Gus Weaver. OF Indiana, made a
long speech, in which he attributed all the
bloodshed in labor troubles to Pinkerton
forces, with the exception of the railroad
strike of 1877. He thought the Haymarket
tragedy was directly traceabie to them.
Resolutions were adopted setting forth
that Carnegie has become wealthy because
of protected industry secured Tor the
purpose of paying higher wages. notwith-
standing which he had reduced the wages
of his employees 30 per cent in four years;
that to enforce the reduction Pinkerton
thugs had been brought in to shoot the men
down, therefore Ohio calls upon Pennsyl-
vania authorities to prevent the bringing in
of armed men to prevent laborers from
getting fair share of protected industry;
that the action of Congress be Endorsed in
the effort fog fair investigation of the
Pinkerton cptrages.

Sympathy for the workmen.

Daniel Donehoo, a prominent Philadel-

evening going home. He had been on a
trip through West Virginia He said
wherever he went in the State he found the
people in sympathy with the Homestead
men. They censured them for abusing the
Pinkertons after they surrendered, but they
blame the firm above all for sending the de-
tectives there In the first place. Mr.. Dom
ehoo thinks it is time for the Government
to interfere in the settlement of wage dis

THE NEWSBOYS' HOME.
HOW THE YOUTHFUL INMATES
SPENT THE RAINY DAYS.
A Young Arkwrlght at Work on an
Electric LOcomotive-A Dark
Arrival from way
Down SOuf.

A HERALD reporter found himself
down on Ducommun street Saturday
afternoon and, having never visited the
News and Working Boys home, walked
up and rang the bell. The rain was
plashing down at the time and the want
of a sidewalk in front OF the home made
the scribe's boots muddy as the door
bell was answered by the matron, Miss
Hansell. Dark and cheerless enough
was the day but in the reading-room a
bright fire Of gum logs was burning and
difl'using the healthy odor OF eucalyptus
all through the apartment. Two boys
sat reading near the fire, while two
others were seated at the table fling
away at some brass rods of about five
inches in length.
Don't turn the edge OF your file in
wards on that work." said the elder boy,
bright-faced lad of Is. you'll make
an acute in that rod. Hold your file
fiat like NINE"
"What are you making there?" asked
the reporter.
"a locomotive" replied the elder boy,
"and it is not to have a bit tf steam
about it. 1t will be driven entirely by
electricity made in q stationary battery
which will occupy the same place in the
engine that boiler does in the ordinary
steam locomotive"
"When do you calculate to complete
it?" asked the reporter.
"SomeWhere about the 18th of next
month";" said the boy.
"Will you put expansion valves on it.
like the new Southern Pacific engines ?'
quiried the scribe.
Expansion valves now, like that.
Do you know that expansion valves are
only ,used with steam, and this is an
electric engine p" said the lad.
The reporter hung down his head. He
was an old steamboat officer, and failed
to keep up with the procession. Eec-
tricity is daily driving steam into the
background, just as the restless, diligent
boy was advancing past the well-read
man of ripened years. His name is John
Colt, native of Chicago, aged 16 years.
He has been less than a month an in
mate of the home. His electric engine
is to be 40 inches long and Is inches
high.
The home lies on Ducommun street,
between Alameda and Vine street. It
is large house OF 80 rooms, and has
very neat kitchen and dining room.
Considering the small amount of money
at their command, the ladies in charge
of the undertaking are doing remarkably
well. AS the reporter was leaving the
place, he noticed a comical looking little
colored boy, that recalled to his mind
the dialect poem of "Persimmons, tex
cab of de baby" The little fellow has
bright face, and is about years old.
"Where do you come from?" asked
the man with the pencil.

somber youth.

The PUMPKIN PYE.

The bards of the Hudson may sing of the
melon.
Ito smooth jetty seeds and its ripe, ruddy
core,
And the feast of the reaper with ecstasy dwell
on,
Reclining at noon on the cool, breezy shore.
For me, the rich soil of New England produces
An Offering more dear to the taste and the
eye
The bright yellow punpkin-how mellow its
juices,
When tempered with ginger, and bak't into
pye!
Let others with dainties their appetite pamper,
And gaze with delight on the splendors OF
plate;
BE stunned with hustle, and bid pages scam
per-
Sr1h pleasures as these resign to the great;
But give me the feast when no knives and
forks clatter,
Where each to the neat cherry table draws
nigh,
And carves for himself from the broad earthen
platter
A slice of the sweet, yellow. 'mooth pumpkin
pye.
There are those who delight in the fig and the
raisin,
In quafling tho milk from the cocoanuts
shell;
Some the olive and pomegranate lavish their
praise on,
The oranges glow and the pineappe's smell.
leave them the products of both Of the In
dies,
And all the rich fruits of n tropical sky;
Their exquisite juices and flavors and tinges
And ask no dessert save the sweet pumpkin
pye.
Then hail to the muse of the pumpkin and
onionl
The Frenchman may laugh and the English
man sGeer
At the land of the Bible and psalm book and
Bunyan;
Still, still TO my bosom her green hills are
dear.
Her daughters are pure as her bright crystal
fountains,
And Hymen, if ever thy blessings try,
Oh, give me the girl of my own native noun
tains
Who knows how to temper the sweet pump
kin pye.
