ANARCHIST
Denounced by the WOrkmen at HOmeStead-The
Men Supposed TO Have Distributed an Anar-
chist Circular Promptly Arrested and
Locked Up-The Men See 1t
Hurts Their Cause.

HOMESTEAD. PA, July Z. - Nothing
occurred to disturb the peace, or quiet
until about nine o'clock, when the men
were aroused to Indignation by the
efforts of some men to circulate Anarchis-
tic circulars. The men denounced the ap-
pearance Of the circular as gotten up for
the purpose of iniuring their cause, and
creating the belief that they were Anarch-
lists or other persons believing in destruc-
ton. They point to the big mill works
which stand in their midst uniniured after
a day on which they were in complete
command Of the situation. This is the best
tentions, and they say that they
will at once stop all movements
of the Anarchists. Who the men
are that started the paper is unknown, but
the men are in no humor TO stand injurious
work on the part of Intermediates. Four
men,who were believed 10 have been guilty
of distri ibuting these circulars, were
caught. Two of them were promptly put
in the lookup, and TO avert any possible
danger from the workmen the four men
suspected were promptly placed aboard
train and sent out of town with directions
10 stay out. The event was the only thing
that caused the least excitement up to ii
O'Clock. This circular in full is as follows:
"The infamous Carnegles, Fricks, and
their class generally are forcing the work
ing people to revolutionary methods,
actually dispelling all hopes ofa peaceful
settlement of the economic question.
Brothers, there is no course left but TO
meet force with force.
I'VE have seen how several OF our broth
ers were murdered in cold blood by the
Pinkerton assassins. He says we attempt
ed to resist the landing Of this hellish army
of murderers, but it was costly attempt.
These murderers (Pinkertons) are armed
with Winchester rifles, but what
are we armed with! Revolvers and
stones. What folly. In times Of peace
we should prepare for war. So unless
we.have Winchester rifles, or something
better, it is suicidal TO fight the Pinkertons.
Think over this brothers, DO not permit
yourselves to be killed for trifie. When
YOU want to fight the armed forces Of capi-
talists. make sure that you have superior
force on your side. Otherwise all the
dead and wounded will be on your side.
Reflect Caution.
''The present system OF production, ex-
change and communication which has
brought forth the Carnegies, Vanderbilts,
Jaw Goulds. etc, on the one side, and on
the other side the impoverished wealth
producers, the tramps, oeggars, prosti-
tutes, criminals, is the cause Of all the diff
Guilty. Strikes, boycotts, arbitrations will
not nor cannot effect change Of the sys-
tenn. All peaceable measures are doomed
TO failure.
Who. were the noble revolutionistsl
Washineton, Paine, Jefferson, Franklin,
etc. We strikers are obliged to see how
tyranny is running rampant here in Home
stead: how the biggest fraud and hypocrite
of Pennsylvania, philanthropist Carnegie,
has turned his iron plant which was
created by our labor but stolen from US By
these thieves Carnegie, Frick Il Coz, by
means OF law and privilege, into a military
fortihcation, thus actually declaring war
upon US workingmen, from whom he has
robbed all his ill-gotten wealth. He has
asked US TO work under conditions that we
could not nor cannot accept, unless we are
all cowardly ours.
"A cur only licks the foot Of the master
that kicks him. Brothers, you all know
that Carnegie means TO pay US starvation
wages, he means 10 reduce US TO condi-
ton unworthy and unfit for human beings.
That is. he wants US TO be his obedient
humble, submissive, currish slaves, and
since he is bringing the contemplate tools
of tberobber class-murderers. deputy sher-
iffs and Pinkerton assassins-to our peace
ful village 20 shoot and murder US because
we refuse te starve, we are actually driven
to effective measures for the defense'of
