Every Citizen Concerned.

Chicago MALL
Every citizen OF this country is concerned
in the deplorable condition of affairs at
Homestead. Mob law and violence always
are regrertable and are rarely excusable,
but the situation at Homestead Is unlike
many scenes of domestic strife which from
time to time have disturbed the American
labor world. Homestead has in it a lesson
not only for the voter, but also tor the polit-
1cal economist Law and order will triumph
at Homestead and violence and rioting will
be suppressed. but with the calm TO follow
will come duty which cries out most elo-
Quently IN its enforced silence

Carnegie Determined.

Carnegie Determined.
Philadelphia ,Inquirer.l
Mr.. Carnegie has apparently made up his
mind that he viii not employ organized
labor. The locked-out men are organized
into trades union They believe that he
intends to I'LL their places with non-union-
lists. They stationed sentries around the
works and refused to allow men to approach
them. So long as no attempt was made on
the part of the officials of the works to
break this blockade all was peace. But the
moment the deputy sheriffs appeared on
the scene they were escorted to the river,
placed on a boat and returned to Pittsburg.
This was the first overt act. 1t was followed
by the battles with the Pinkerton men, and
most alarming state of affairs is the result.

Harrisburg Patriot.]
1t has become tho usual thing whenever
there is strike at any mill of any conse-
quence to employ Pinkerton detectives to
guard the works. These detectives do more
they in nearly every strike in which their
services are employed shoot down, upon the
slightest provocation, the men who are
guilty of the crime of refusing to accepta
reduction of wages, and If there is no rea-
sonable provocation ready to be seized upon
they sometimes make one for the emergency.
The many lawless acts OF the Pinkerton de-
tectives have made them cordially hated by
every workinsman in the country. Their
presence at the seem of labor mfsunder-
standing has about the same effect upon the
strikers as red rag has upon a BULL and
there is many an old grndge against them
that may yet be wiped out without counting
the cost. Notwithstanding this known fact,
once again these detectives have been EN-.
ployed-by many persons supposed to be H.
1egally-to do the same work that q sheriff
and his deputies should perform. The labor
problem cannot be solved by bloodshed, but
II it must be 80 decided the Pinkertons can
be spared more easily than the workingmen.
Nevertheless it is hoped that the bloody
acts Of yesterday will never be repeated.

Who Fired tho First shot3

New York Trlbune.J
Lives have been lost on both sides, and
families desolated, in q struggle at the
Homestead works which would have been
prevented by wiser and juster. action on
both sides. Dispatches SO fatty conflict
that it cannot be determined whether the
first shot was fred by the watchmen at
tempting to land at the works or by the
strikers who thronged the Shore But the
responsibility must lie further back. Why
were armed men brought to the spot, and
why were armed multitudes assembled to
resist their landing? In seeking where the
blame must lie 1t must be remembered that
labor has rights. and employers also have
rights. which the public must with strict
justice respect and defend.

Law-Breaking Cannot Be Justified.

Buffalo Courier
OF course law-breaking cannot be justified;
but in the light of the experience of the past
the action of the Carnegie Company in hir-
ing the Pinkerton Hessians to aid them in
carrying on their contest against their en-
ployes was an inexcusable blunder The
company must have known that the resort
to this hated agency would influence the
in all probability bring on a alamentaple con-
fict. Moreover, if the workingmen have
not just understanding Of their rights in
this case in the matter of wages, the Carne-
gle Company is largely responsible

The SECOND HEARING.
Sworn Testimony Of Fraudulent Acts
Of Supervisor Boyle.
BALLOTS MARKED BY HONEY.
Lawyer sheffield Gives Damaging Evil
dence of Honey's Acts-Boyle Forces
Men to Vote the Democratic Ticket-IO
Illegal Votes.
SPECIAL To'THE SEws.I

ESPECIAL 10 THE NEWsI
NEWPORT, June 9-The House Of Rep
resentatives was crowded this morning
when the hearing on the contested cleo
ii ons case was resumed at 1920. The evil
dence Of Councilman Robert Cash. the
Hon. w. p. Sheffield, Jr., and ex-Alder-
man w. o. Greene created profound inn
preston on the committee. The testi-
mony OF Sheffield was given amid pain
full silence.
Councilman Cash swore that at the last
election Supervisor Boyle took ballots
from two hands, two voters named limo
thy O'Leary and John Bishop without
into the booth, marked the ballots and
passed them back to O'Leary and Bishop,
both then deposited them in the box with
out even seeing the face of said ballots.
There were forty or fifty similar cases.
Fraudulent voting. on part OF James
Skelly as John Skelly was also sworn to
snd substantiated. There were also at
tempts at dual voting, all in the Fifth
ward by man named j. M: Fitzpat-
rick. This witness evidence was straight
forward and convincing.
William Il. Sheffield Jr. testified that
John Nicholas Brown called his attention
to illegal practices being conducted in the
fifth ward by Supervisor Boyle. He went
down there and when about 300 feet from
the ward room he saw Mayor Honey come
out very much excited, pushing out Mr..
Congdon, Republican watcher.
Mr. Sheffield went into the ward room
and stayed there an hour and half. He
saw Supervisor Boyle take ballots from
voters without being so requested, mark
them without the voler seeing how they
were marked, and then stand over them
until the ballots were dropped into the
box. There were about thirty cases OF
this kind.
Now came the sensation of the day.
Amid breathless silence he described
watching Mayor Honey count the ballots
OF the Second ward all by himself and
without any person being able TO see what
he did.
He said Mayor Honey had pencil in
his hand and marked several ballots on
their face, but what the mark was he
could not say. Witness walked around
TO look out of the window overlooking
Long Wharf, which was behind Honey's
back.
Mr.. Sheffield then looked back over
his shoulder and saw black or blush
mark opposite candidates name. He
swore, las / looked at that ballot as it
stood on that pile there WAS -nn mark on
it."
Later, there was mark. William o.
Greene gave similar testimony ending
with the story of Honey's threatening to
close his account with the Aquidneck
Bank unless Mr.. Congdon, the son.in-
law to Mr.. Greene, and Teller
in said bank was brought out OF the ward
room, where he was watching for the Re
publican party, which Honey objected to.
This closed the testimony for the day.

tion more disgusted with the dilatory
tactics of the Blaine men than ex-senator
Spooner of Wisconsin.
He stated this morning that IL the re
port of the committee on credentials was
delayed longer than a reasonable time the
Harrison men would assum the aggressive

Mr. Spooner claims that in this move
ment it will be the Blaine men against

1t was announced this morning that
the Blaine leaders had planned dra-
matte plan to place their candidate be-
fore the convention.
He will not be placed in nomination
in the regular way, but when the roll of
States is called Alabama will be first, and
it will be seen that Blaine will have IA
votes and Harrison 8.
The announcement of the first ballot
for the plumed knight will, it is expect
ed, be the signal for demonstration
which will be the turning point in
Blaine's favor.
