HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept 1.-THE meet
ing of Slavs and Huns, which had been
called for yesterday, was the most nota.
BILE affair here, Before the hour set for
the meeting large crowd collected on
Hisel street, number of women being
scattered here and there among the
men. Aleck Wisloski was to address
the meeting, and representative of the
Carnegie firm was also billed to appear,
but the latter did not show up, neither
was any public speech made.
Wisloski who is said TO be connected
with a Slav paper published on the South
Side, Pittsburg, has been employed by
the Carnegies for the past two weeks as
q clerk, and while he did not make any
speech, he circulated among the crowd
and urged them to go back to work
One Of the inducements Wisloski offered
was that the men would all be given
their old places at the same wages they
before received. Another, and the one
that created the most feeling, was that
In case they all returned to work the
prosecution of the three Huns for the
murder of Quinn at Braddock would be
dropped.
Origin OF the Circular.
Mr.. Wisloski refused to give his au-
thority for the statement, but repeated
1t several times. This created consider
able excitement among the foreigners,
as they are anxious to have the prosecu-
ton stopped When Mr.. Childs was
confronted with Wisloski's statement he
emphatically said that Wisloski had no
authority for making any such remarks.
1.-THE prosecution, said Mr.. Childs, "of
the three men mentioned is in the hands
of the courts of Allegheny county, and
we have no influence to stop any pro-
ceedings; and did we have we would not
exercise it." Mr.. Childs repeated that
if the foreigners came back in body
they would be given their old places and
old wages, but that the company had no
right to interfere in the prosecution
mentioned.
Arnold Frank, who is said to have en-
ployment in the coke regions under Mr..
Frick as a veterinary surgeon, was also
going around among the men repeating
the statement of Wisloski and urging the
men to make break. Both men met
with very little encouragement, and one
of the Slavs said he believed the men
were firmer than ever in their resolve to
stay out.
The Advisory Board Exerts Its Influence.
The advisory committee were also
busy circulating among the men and
urging them to disperse. AS Mr..
Caches, one of the advisory committee,
put it, they were afraid of trouble if
the men were allowed to collect IL
crowds, and then the blame would fall
on the strikers. He denounced the
overtures made by Wisloski, saying that
the Carnegies did not have control of
the courts in Allegheny county, and if
they had authorized any such statement
it was only done to cause break among
the foreign element. About twenty
deputy sheriffs were on hand to see that
the peace and order of the community
was not disturbed. The circular got
ten out calling for the meeting, Wis
loski admits, was written by him or
his own authority.
Mr. Childs, in speaking of the mill
tary company being organized in the
the mill, said that he knew such a COM
pany was in existence and that the men
are drilling, but the company has moth
ing to do with it. He says 1t was got
ten up by the men who belonged to
different military organizations before
coming to work in the mill. The Car
negie company did not furnish them
with either arms or uniforms.
