remarkable. Every man is determined
and word has been passed that they are
in for the fight Of their life. They are
desperate and another force Of Pinker-
tons need expect no quarter. The mill
men will die or win II there is anot ler
battle, and there is every indication
here that there will be one and soon.
PITTSBURGH, July 1.-THE Home
stead committee that went to confer
with Gov. Pattison at Harrisburg re-
turned Saturday morning The conn
mittee consisted of Hugh ODonnell. ex-
Representative J. J. Cox, j. II. VIII
liams, Dr. John 2. Purman, e. w. lar
ner. Mr. Cox, speaking for the party,
said: "Gov. Pattison will maintain the
stand he has taken all through the
present trouble, that the national
guard of Pennsylvania will not be used
us police force. lie will refuse to
call out the militia until an emergency
arises. In this case If there is another
outbreak he will probably summon the
guard Immediately. The governor be-
lieves that the Pinkerton men had no
authority whatever TO appear on the
ground; that it was the sheritf's duty,
and his only to preserve the peace. He
shall still insist that the sheriff must
do his full duty
The prospects now are that the fight
between the Amalgamated association
and the Carnegie Steel Company will
extend to the other union mills of the
company, unless the company agrees to
reopen negotiations with the Home
stead steel workers. It's probable that
the Amalgamated men at their Twenty
ninth and Twenty-third street union
mills and at their Beaver Falls rod and
wire mills will strike, to support their
brethren on the Monongahela. An en-
thusiastic meeting of 200 Amalgamated
association men who were in dead earn
est, was held yesterday in Union hall.
Those present represented five lodges
of the Amalgamated association at Car
negie's union mills. A number of the
leaders of the Homestead men were
present. The speeches were short but
pointed and were heartily applauded.
To the reporters waiting outside,
''Pinkerton thugs" Flight to the end"
make a stand together" were fre-
quently audible. When the meeting
adjourned the chairman gave out an
official statment that a committee of
five had been appointed to confer with
IL. c. Fricli, chairman of the Carnegie
interests
A.vote was taken and it was decided
unanimously to stand by the Home
stead men. prominent worker who
was at the meeting said 1T has not
come to the point yet when we will
strike, but you can judge for yourself
! as to the situation. II we are whipped
at Homestead this year, we will be at
tackled at their union mills next year.
The union mills started TO work last
night as usual They employ $500
men.
