WHITE WINGS OF PEACE
Are lowering Over the Quiet village oi
Homestead.

Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1.-THE white
wings of peace are lowering over Home.
stead, and there 10 not IN unpleasant In.
dication to mar the serenity of the iron
region. The militia 10 to be received
whit open arms by the mill workers and
special police, one hundred strong, has
been selected from the ranks Of the strik-
ers to see that no indignity IL offered the
uniformed representatives of the state by
sny injudicious or hot headed workmen.
The efficacy OF this police was demon
strated within half an hour after the ad-
journmcnt Of the mass meeting by ths
prompt arrest and escort to the lookup
OF an intemperate striker who questioned
tho wisdom OF receiving the militia ~
friends and brothers. The power Of or
ganixation was never better exemplihed
than In the graceful unanimity with
which the iron workers have accepted
the suggestions OF their leaders and de-
cided that the troops should be received
a. friends and rot az foes.
To all but the pessimist the conclusion
10 irresistible that the crisis IL passed and
that Homestead will know hostilities no
more so long a. the military are on the
ground and there 10 no attempt to
smuggle the Pinkertons
into the works. Most people have con-
cluded that the Pinkertons are not like
ly to provoke further bloodshed by at
tempting to occupy the works.
Indeed, the strikers regard the advent
Of the troops AZ the surcst indication that
the private militia of capital will invade
Homestead no more, and much of the
success of yesterdays meeting was due to
the belief that the state militia was or
dered to Homestead as much to prevent
the bloodshed that the visit OF the Pink
ertons would provoke as to quiet the
present disorder in the iron region.
The mass meeting at Homestead was a
most significant one and its develop
ments were awaited with intense interest
by the citizens on the outside. The
meeting was attended by about 5000 peo-
pie and In this number was about every
one Of the number who fought the Pink
ertons In the bloody battle Of last week.
The meeting was called to order by Hugh
O'Donnell, who, after stating that Bur-
gess McLuckie would preside, invited
the representatives OF the press to the
platform.
