LATER
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 7.-After the
carnage OF yesterday the town of Home
stead to-day was almost as quiet as a sleepy
country village, and the sad duty OIL a
decent intermentto three OF the five strik-
ing workmen. who were instantly killed in
the battle that ragged tercely along the
beautiful banks Of the Monongahela, was
the CHER evidence of the Storm of yester-.
day. Up to s o'clock tonight absolutely
nothing has occurred to mar the peace
which was profound.
The strikers are masters OF the situation
to-day, and the best evidence that they
could possibly produce OF their intention
to protect the property and not turn the
toWninto a hell, where anarchy and de-
struction rule, lies at the scene of last
nights battle, where tile immense plant OF
the firm OF Carnegie, Phipps g. Co. stands
practically uninjured, and at distance
shows no signs OF the fearful work of the
proceeding twenty-.our hours. The ruin
that was incident to yesterdays prepare
ton for warfare has been repaired, dis
1nantled fences around the works have been
rebuilt, the yard has been cleaned OF all
debris and inside the works the old watch

customary patrol. Their statement is the
best that can be said in behalf of the strik-
ing men and they can honestly assert that
they only protected their right-that is to
prevent the Introduction and protection Of
non-union Workmen.
They are orderly and careful observers
OF the peace. No properly has been de-
stroyee. no pillage except that attending
