HOMESTEAD. Pa, July 1.-THE white
wings Of peace are lowering over Home
stead tonight and there is not an un-
pleasant Indication 10 mar the serenity of
the iron region. The militia are to be re-
ceived with open arms by the mill workers,
and special police, one hundred strong,
selected from the ranks of the strikers to
see that no indignity is offered the uni
formed representatives. Of the state.
One Incorporate striker, who questioned
the wisdom of receiving the militia in q
friendly manner, was arrested and escorted
to the lock up within one hour after the re-
organization OF the police.
To all but pessimist it is the conclusion
that the crisis is past and Homestead will
know hosnlities no more so long as the
military of the state are on the ground,
and there is no attempt to smuggle Pinker-
tons into the works.
TIE MASS MEETING
this afternoon was attended byabout five
thousand people. Hugh O'Donneil called
the people to order. Burgess McLukle
presided. Although the burgess Of Home
stead, MuLukie is one of the most pr0mi-
nent leaders of the strikers,
The object of the meeting said he, us
to take suitable action to ards the recep-
ton of our friends the military. who will
arrive here in day Or two. The general
impression is abroad that military people
are dangerous. This is q mistake. We
want to arrange for q reception OF the
kind the military never thought of. We
want our people to welcome the military
people with open arms. / pledge you my
judgment that calling out the military was
one of the best steps that could pos
sibly have been taken for our people.
Governor Pattison is just the man and Will
not permit the troops Of this state TO per-
petraLe an outrage upon people such as the
people of Homestead and community; it is
also an evident fact that the unwas he'd
horde of PinkertOn people are again mob
ilizing their forces; it is also evident to
our governor. He does not want any
bloodshed here, and so our friends about to
come are the safest people you could pos
sibly be IN with. l
DO NOT WANT THEM TosBE INsuLTED
any man ID iudiscreet enough to do an act
of that kind he should be taken to the
river and ducked, and 1 will be one to
help do itn LGood; and applause.
a mill-worker moved that any man offer
ing insult TO the troops be taken TO the
river and ducked. The motion prevailed
by acclamation and the special policemen
were instructed TO carry il out. A com
mittee was also appointed TO inform the
mill-workers not present that such action
had been taken. THE plan is to get out
every band in Homestead, p continued the
burgess. Great applause and men shout
/ ing. IL am authorized to say that the bands
have already volunteered their services.
The president of each lodge was in
structed 10 make proper preparations for
the ceremonies and the burgess announced
that he would ascertain exactly when the
military was expected and give notice of
the approach by town criers.
Some indiscreet striker suggested that a
committee be appointed to make complaint
if any Of tbe militia were guilty OF unbe-
coming conduct at any time, but he was
promptly suppressed.
The burgess announced that he would
issue a proclamation inviting all persons
not connected with the mill aud having no
bCsineBs IN the city other than curiosity to
keep away while the militia should be
here.
After the arrangements were consum-
mated, by a unanimous vote, frank Flu
gula made speech in his own language to
the Slavs, explaining all that had been
done, and Jerry Dougherty made
R1Se1Ne APPEAL FOR ORDER
and sobriety while the militia should be in
the city.
Dan Harris. president of the New YorA
Cigar Makers' union, spoke in much the
same vein, after which the meeting adj
journed amid much enthusiasm.
