land this terrible affair at Homestead en-
phasizes the necessity for such n court"
But what could such court do at Home
stead? Could it order tho strikers to go
back to work on tie terms offered by the
Homestead Company? And il they refused.
how would the court enforce its order?
Or would the court order the Company TO
pay tho strikers the wages they demand.
and comply with all their conditions
This would seem to lie forbidden by the
Constitution Of Pennsylvania. Article l..
Section 10: Nor shall private property be
taken or applied to public use without just
compensation being first made" To the
same effect the Constitution Of the United
States: Nor shall private property be
taken for public use without just compen.
sation."
Compulsory arbitration In such case
seems to be q wild and impracticable notion.

right TO use force or resort TO violence. III
the company was able to operate Its works
without the help OF the strikers. 1t might
provo fatal TO the latter in their contest
over the question Of wages. but that was
the misfortune OF their position. and gave
them no right TO interfere with property
which was not theirs. or with workmen who
were willing to work on the terms offered.
That is the plain. unavoidable truth OF
the situation. The responsibility for the
crime al Homestead does not lie with CAR
SEo1E nor primarily with his striking
workmen, but with vicious. incorporate,
and depraved newspapers like the
World, and with the selfish and worth
less agitators and professional labor
men whose business It is to breed
disorder and discomfort. The bills are paid
by tie laborcr every time. The agitator
gets bis living and is never in tho real

wretched. And oil the suffering. all the
really grievous loss. falls to the lot OF the

The Great Convention OF the Faithful

The great religious Convention. opened Mt
Madison Square Garden yesterday. has
brought to New York as many strangers as
were gathered at Chicago or at Minneapo-
lis last month. when the National Conven.
tons Of the Democrats and OF the Republi.
cans were held These earnest men and
women come from every State and every
Territory OF tho Onion. and their numbers
have been SO vast that the facilities Of the
greatest railways have been taxed to the
utmost to furnish them with transporta-
ton Even in New York their badges are
so many that they are a notable addition TO
the customary throngs in the streets.
| Yet the Christian Endcayor societies OF
| which this Is the Convention were started
only eleven years ago. Their beginning
was In a rural parish. where a society for
| religious activity and spiritual self-im-
| provement was organized among the young
| people. The movement started also at a
time which seemed altogether unpropi,ious
for its successful progress. Criticism and
skepticism were already undermining the
| foundations OF the simple religious
faith on which it began. Even Or
thodox theological seminaies were SOW
ing these seeds Of doubt. and many
orthodox pulpits were assisting In the
work Of destruction by a haif-hearted adyo-
cacy Of the fundamental articles OF the
| Christian faith. aud sometimes even by an
open and absolute denial OF them. Congre-

Our esteemed contemporaries OF this town
are not OF one mind respecting the affair at
Homestead. The Herald Is Of the opinion
that the outbreak was due to lawlessness
on both sides. which Is to say that the CAR
SEoIH party In endeavoring to enter upon
and take possession OF its own premises was
In the wrong. but that it was nothing short
Of criminal IN the strikers TO murder the
CARNEGIE party for doing 60. The World
holds that the strikers were rightly in con-
troll Of the CAESEGIg property. and the
Intrusion of the PE;KERToN Hcss!ans was
not to be tolerated. 1t points out that when
the strikers drove the Sheriff and his posse
out OF town they offered to supplyfve hun
drcd deputy sherirs and themselves pro-
tect the Homestead plant In fact.
as matters turned out they did take the
plant under their protection. and, when the
owners representatives, and employees
sought to land on the property. they shot a
dozen OF them and tried their best to burn
the rest to death. All OF this the World
commends heartily and Is in full sympathy
with. and 1t points out at great length
the wealth and boundlcss greed Of
CARNEGIE. his merciless determination
to crush his workmen. whom he
designs 10 luTu NtTlII 10 EtdrN6 In

the other irolmasters Of Pittsburgh, and
all the mills reduced to ashes 1t will not be
the fault Of this most intei!igently con-
Quoted and high-minded journal.

The Carnegie Steel Company owns at
Homestead. in Pennsylvania, a large tract Of
land upon the MonoDgahela River. extend
ing for considerable distance along the
rivers bank. Upon this land the company
has erected extensive and costly buildings
filled with furnaces and machinery for the
manufacture OF steel. At present the c.
tablishment is not in operation. owing to
disagreement between the company and Its
former workmcn respecting tho rate OF
wages to be paid.
Early on Wednesday morning the COM
pany sent u body Of men. headed by a
deputy sheriff. to occupy their premises
and protect them against an apprehended
attack by their former workmen. These
new men were armed. and were engaged
through what is called the PINKEEToS agen-
cy. They took every precaution to accom-
p!ish their purpose without attracting at
tention. timing their arrival at the rivers
edge on the company's premises before
daylight. II they had not been interfered
with. they would have landed quietly and
would have created no disturbance.
Nevertheless, just before these PISKERToS
men reached their destination. notice that
they were on their way was given to the
company's former workmcn by scouts
posted for the purpose. and some thousands
OF these workmen broke into the com pany's
premises by force and resisted the attempt
Of the company's new employees to land.
In the collision which ensued. q number OF
mon were killed on both sides. and many
were wounded. It Is contended by some
that the workmen killed were murdered.
and that the PNKKRToN men were their
murderers.
Clearly. the men who broke into the COM
pary's premises were trespassers. and
undor the old common law they would be
held to be burglars since their breaking
IN was done in the night time. They had no
moro right to be where they were when the
company's new employees attempted to
land. than they had to be on any other piece
OF private property not their own. The
company had right to eject them by force.
and such resort to force would not con-
stitute an assault. On the other hand. the
assaults committed by the trespassers
added to their original crime. and made 1t Q
misdemeanor. at least, II not q felony.
1t Ia plain. therefore. thatif the homicides
ut Homestead are to DO treated as murders.
tho murderers are not the PINKKEToN men.
who were acting within their legitimate
rights. but the trespassers who opposed
their landing. These. and not the PNKER-
TON men. were violating the law and
breaking the public peace. The PrNKER-
TON men have been blamed for carrying
arms. but In doing so they were only exer-
cising right secured to every citizen OF
the United States by the Constitution and
the effort to throw odium upon them for 1t
Is both wicked and silly.
