Non-Union Men Causes Great Excite
ment-strict Military Orders.

| HOMESTEAD, Pa, July l3.-Ine provost
guard of the militia maintained order in Home
stead last night. After 10 o'clock the militia
men began to disappear from the streets, but
the townspeople as a rule did not 20 in
| doors until midnight, There were not so
many soldiers on the street to-day as there
were last night. The provost guard is doing
its work we'll. The saloons which did such a
thriving business yesterday are open again
to-day, but their trade is light. Ma
| jor-General Snowden has praoti-
cally refused to recognize the authorities
Of the borough. He told the acting burgess
yesterday that if the town would take care of
its people he would take care of his soldiers.
| This was apropos of a statement by the act
ing burgess that drunken and disorderly
| soldiers were liable to arrest by the borough
| police. General Snowden showed by his
manner and address that he considered him
| self in charge of Homestead and recognized
the authority of no one except Governor
Pattison and, incidentally. Sheriff McCieary.
MAY ARREST THE LEADERS.
Sheriff McCleary has hinted that no will
| arrest several of the leaders in the battle
| against the PinkertOns. In such action as
| this lies the greatest danger OF blOodshed.
| With the cool heads Of the leaders Withdrawn
| from the people, authority among the WORK
men will cease, aud inhamed talk Will lnclte
the hot -blooded strikers to something reck-
| less
Matters have quieted down to-day and the
| spirit of peace seeIAs to be IN the air. NO
| fear Of trouble is entertained unless hr. frick
| places non-union men in his works, IL Is the
| general belief here that Mr.. Frlck will man
the mill with new workmen as soon as pos
sible. He has practically admitted that such
| was his intention.
The news that the men employed in Carne-
| gies upper and lower union mills at Pitts
burg had met and notified the management
| that unless negotiations looking 70 q settle
ment of the trouble at Homestead were
opened by Thursday the men in all depart
ments would walk out at the conclusion OF
that days work caused much rejoicing among
| the locked-out Carnegie men here. One OF
the leaders said that he expected such actioH
some days ago, and he was glad that the Pitts
burg men had come to realize that the defeat
Of the Homestead men meant the defeat of
organized labor in the steel industry, and par
| ticulsrly in all of the Carnegie mills.
STRICT MILITARY ORDERS.
