turers no provision had been made for
the laboring mans wages. These asser-
Cons gave rise to some excitement IN the
rear part of the hall, and several men from
the gallery denounced the statements OF MI
Loveday as untrue in very emphatic terms:
At this point Chairman Carney arose and
quieted the belligerents
After the speaker had returned TO MS
seat, David Lynch, a member of the Anal
gamated Association, said: my predecessor
is apparently laboring under a great mis-
take. When the laboring men went out with
us on the strike of three years ago we prom
ised to protect them, and we kept our prom
fse. When the men ultimately returned to
work We demanded of the employers that
tne laDorlng mems wages we're TO remain
at the same figure they were previous to the
strike and that every one of the worknen
should be reinstated In demanding that
their wages remain at the same figure we
tion in the pay Of the laboring man for three
years. This was all we could do at the time.
The laboring men did not tell us that they
wanted their wages increased and we hao
no right to make any such demand no more
SO than we would with the owners OF some
of the glass houses in this vicinity" This
address also pleased the men and the
speaker was loudly applauded.
Talking to the slavs and Huns.
Following Mr.. Lynch was Mr.. NJ. B. Nav
reck. He spoke in the Spanish and Hungar-
ian tongues, giving a brief summary of all
the address that had been made, for the ben
eft of the Slavs and Hungarians present.
During the meeting the following resolu-
tion was prepared: ave, the people of
Homestead. do hereby invite the delegates of
the Seventh Annual Convention of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers now in session at Pittsburg to ac-
cept our hospitality any evening during the
coming week at this place" This resolution
was unanimously carried and during a con-
ference after the adjournment of the public
meeting the time for the entertainment of
the delegates was fixed for Thursday
evening next The conference also decided
to furnish money to secure lawyer for
John Gibson, one of the men who became
involved in fight with the watchman on
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
tracks last week. Gibson has been arrested
and his companions are going to give him
all the aid they can.
On Wednesday evening next there will be
another mass meeting of a similar character
to the one of yesterday in the opera house at
An attempt was made last night to inter-
view a prominent manufacturer upon the
results of the meeting, but without success,

In a recent issue there was given in our
local columns an account ofa pai nful case of
suffering-that of young man in. Allegheny
named Leonard Stegman, which We are as
sured by his brother was an e1aggeration.
Mr.. Stegman has, it is true, been an invalid
for % years. but was able to be about until
five years ago. and does not look nearly so
bad as was stated. His ailment began with
rheumatism, and, notwithstanding the fact
that he had suffered greatly. his friends hope
he may get well, which hope the Houng man
himself shares
