The strikers Getting Desperate.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 9-The situa-
tion to-day in the big strike is not
changed. The strikers are still in posses
sion of the town and have the Carnegie
steel works In their grasp.
This morning they were resting on their
arms waiting to see what moves Sheriff
McCleary or the officials of the mill are
going TO make.
The utmost vigilance is maintained by
the strikers in watching all approaches
to the town either by the road or river.
It will be impossible to get an armed
force into Homestead without the strikers
having an ample warning of their ap-
proach.
To men who have been here since the
trouble began it looks IL the strikers were
becoming more desperate, and IL Is feared
would be driven into a frenzy il another
armed force is sent here.
1t was reported this morning that the
strikers had resolved to make the fight as
costly for the Carnegie Company as they
can. and have secured the services of sew
eral south side men who thoroughly
understand the use of dynamite.
These men will be supplied with explo-
sives, and will use them when the strikers
are convinced that further resistance is
useless. With the explosive propeller
used the strikers believe that they can
destroy the entire plant.
Sheriff McCleary Is not willing to state
what his next move will be. Mr.. Petty,
his attorney, said this morning that the
Carnegie company was not In possession
of its property. despite the assertions of
the strikers TO the contrary. He further
said that it was the duty OF the county to
restore the mills TO its owners and it would
be done.
