Keep the Locked-Out Mems FamiIiei
for a Year-May Take a Hand In State
Politics.
tFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, July 13.-''The Woman's 8
National Industrial League intends to give
the women and children of Homestead
financial and moral support" said Mrs.
Charlotte Smith, President of that organiza-
tion, to The DISPATCH correspondents to-
day. 81 have received a number of tele-
grams from Homestead and from patriotic
and public-spirited women throughout the
country" continued Mrs. Smith. 'T am
not at liberty to make public the nature OF
these kilograms, nor to expose the details of
the system we intend to pursue. But that
the women of this country do intend to
take hand in this affair 1 can safely
promise.
"How do You expect to arouse interest in
the movement among the women of the
country?"
''How do we expect to arouse INTEREST,""
repeated Mrs Smith, with pitying smile.
Interest is already reused. No sooner was
the correspondence between Mr.. Hugh
O'Donnell and myself published through
the medium of the Associated Press, than
the kilograms Of sympathy, coincidence and
of assistance began pouring in. The women
and children of Homestead shall not suffer,
depend upon it. 1t is too early, of course,
to form or rather to make public definite
plans. The first step will probably be a
woman's monster mass meeting in New
York City. Meetings in all other large
cities will rapidly follow. All sorts of
women are interested in this movement. We
have heard from mechanics wives, mill
workers wives, street car drivers wives,
shop keepers wives, professional mems
wives, seamstresses, and even rich
mems wives They pledge their moral sup
port and financial aid. Individual contri-
buttons may be small, but they will aggre-
gate no inconsiderable sum. We figure to
have at the outset enough money to keep
the wives and families of the locked-out
men for at least year."
''Suppose the firm replace the locked-out
men by non-unionists?"
"We shall be in favor of the locked-out
men staying right in Homestead and retain
ing their houses in the hope of ultimately
getting back their positions in the Carnegie
works, with the Amalgamated Association
recognized by the firm. In the event of
there being prolonged contest we should
open headquarters in Pittsburg and Home
stead. The success of this movement will
not be handicapped by lack of women
workers. If necessary, we will take hand
in the State politics OF Pennsylvania

All things considered, the blue coated
men quartered at camp Sam Black in Home
stead pet in fairly ;-o6tabl. day yester-
day. To be sure, they worked, and worked
hard from the very moment that the pom
derous voice of the sunrise gun awoke the
slumbering echoes of the morning until the
shades of eventide. The average soldier is
at times an industrious creature. and there
was but little grumbling among the rank
and file. To the minds of the dazed but
observant natives, the building of the great

Scenes at the Camp of the Provisional
Brigade-1ts Commanding Position
Colonel Hawkins on the Advisory
Board-Men Stand the Rough Life
Well.
% the heights across the Monongahela
river from Homestead the men enjoyed the
experiences of real campaign life. There
are over 1,50o men camped there. 1t is
known as provisional brigade and is made
up of the Tenth, Fourteenth and Fourth
Regiments and Battery c. This brigade is
in command of Colonel Hawkins, of the
Tenth Regiment, who is the senior Colonel of
the Second Brigade. The troops are spread
along the front of the bluff in position to
cover every point in Homestead with their
rifles and ordnance.
The camp is directly back of Swissvale.
The Fourteenth is the first regiment on the
south. Between it and the Tenth there is a
deep ravine. The Fourteenth on Tuesday
night had camped there with the Tenth, but
yesterday when the news came that this
was to constitute the regular State encamp-
ment the regiment moved to its present
position.
Huddied Under Gum BlanEets
Yesterday afternoon the men we're shelter
ing themselves in improvised tents made of
gum blankets stretched on poles Others
were gathered in groups under the trees
trying to escape from the rain. Colonel
Parchment, with Lieutenant Foster, of the
medical staff, had headquarters in an open
tent. Last night, however, the tents ar
rived and the whole brigade slept under

q number of little lean-tos made out of rails
and then covered with weeds and grass tor
a roof. Under these could be seen the little
piles of hay that had served as bed for the

AN IDEAL VACATION TRIP.
From Pittsburg to the Pacific Coast in
Palace on Wheels.

From Pittsburs to the Pacific Coast in a
Palace on Wheels.
A number of prominent Pittsburgers
have arranged for vacation trip that will
be highly instructive aud interesting, as
well as a source of great endowment for all
participants. The party will leave this
city on August 5 in Pullman perfected
vestibule car embodying all the comforts
OF richly furnished home. The car will
be run through to Denver, COL, where a
stop of several days will be made for sight
seeing and for attending the Knights
Templar conelave. From Denver the car
will be run to San Francisco, where sight
seeing will be in order. From thence the
Journey will continue northward to Port
land, Ore, from which point the homeward
trip will commence. About SIX weeks will
be consumed in making the round trip,
during which time the excursionists will be
carried in the special car to principal points
of interest in the West and Northwest and
have ample time to view the country. The
list of excursionists who will constitute
the party is not quite complete, there be-
ing room for several more, and Mr.. Sam
uel Moody, of the Pennsylvania Lines, un-
der whose chaperonage the excursionists
will leave Pittsburg, is desirous of adding
to the number. Inquiries addressed to him
will be given prompt attention, as it is the
intention to have plans perfected at an
early date. 1t is probable that no excur-
sion party will leave Pittsburg this sum-
mer who will have in store as much enjoy
ment as will be experienced by the tourists
who will depart August on a journey to
the Pacific Coast in "a palace on wheels"

Black estate. He will begin bat
TALON drill this morning. All are
we'll satisfied that this is to be the
State encampment, and the Colonel said he
was willing to stay all summer Speaking
OF affairs at Homestead, he said: ''The
placing of Homestead under martial law by
the Advisory Beard was the greatest as
sumption of power that ever heard Of
Martial rule means the abrogation of all
civil laws, and is thing only to be resorted
to in times of war, and then only under ex-
treme circumstances. In this case it was
little worse than mob rule No body of
citizens have the right to dictate who shall
enter or leave town."

soldiers Many of the others had slept out

The Tenth Regiment was quartered much
in the same way as the Fourteenth and the
Fourth Regiment which lays to the rear of
the Tenth is ditto. The rough life seems to
agree with the men, for Dr. D. G. Foster
says they never had camp where there was
SO little sickness at the start.
Colonel Hawkins on Martial Law.
Colonel Hawkins had his headquarters
yesterday in the little tool shed on the place
of Engineer Byers, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Right in front of the residence

sweep Homestead. Colonel Hawkins pro-
poses to move his corps back about 200

said, was the answer their fellow country

accompanying an American subscrip-
tion Of 93. 3.000," continued Mr.. Kenny,
'there came message saying that the So
called American Peace Mission had not
been authorized TO speak in the name of the
American people. 1t is clear. then, that
the American people, in spite Of Mr.. Red
mond's absurd mission, recognize that the
only way to deal with the factionists is to
clear them out of the country; and in that
respect The irish people were giving the
Irish in America good value for their dol
lars"

LOOKING FOR AN INVASION.
Non-Union Workmen Expected to

Taken to Homestead To-Day.
At the headquarters of the workmen in
Homestead it was reported shortly after
midnight that 400 non-union men were gath
cred in Pittsburg to be brought into Home
stead to-day. The unusual activity among the
troops on the hill was supposed to have
some connection with the incoming train
load, and much anxiety was expressed as to
when and how the men would be brought in.
The generally accepted theory was that if
the non-union men were coming, which was
doubted, they would be got in under
heavy escort about daybreak.

They Pledge Themselves to Aid the Home-

The Germau-American Typographical
Union No. 16 6Tuesday adopted resolutions
in reference to the Homestead troubles. 1t
was unanimously resolved to extend to the
Homestead strikers its hearty sympathy
and to pledge its moral and financial sup
port. They condemned the Pinkerton sys-
tenn and demanded legislation effacing it.
They also resolved to join other organiza-
tions in the demand that the city of Pitts
burg return to Carnegie the money for the
free library for this city, and for all people
to shun the Carnegie Hall in Allegheny as
a parody on philanthrophy, and to request
their co-workers and friends to do the same.
1t was decided to transmit copies of the reso-
lutions to the Mayor and Councils of Pitts
burg.

They Decide 1t Is Time TO Take Indepen-
dent Political Action.
At a meeting of Local Union 142, Car
penters and Joiners, last night at Sellers
Hall, resolutions were passed denouncing
Carnegie and the Pinkertons in unmeas-
ured terms Since, they say, the Carnegie
people have taken the ground that labor
saving machinery is only for the benefit
of the capitalist and existing laws, it seems
to the carpenters and joiners to have been
made for the capitalists by the capitalists.
they resolve at some length that there is an
urgent need for all laborers to unite for in
dependent political action, in order that
the laborer may get the product of his
toll.
This union has 600 members. A resolu-
tion was also adopted asking the Mayor
and Councils not to accept Carnegie's gift
of public library for Schenley Park.

DUBLIN, July 13.-At the meeting of the

Matthew j. Kenny charged that the Par

agents of the English Tories. The

clared, is not political. They seem to be
