CHAPTER IN M'LUcKIE's HISTORY.
The incarceration of Burgess McI,uckie.
which surprised large number of Homestead
seems TO have been unknown here. In the
l1ttsburg Commercial Gazette of today is the
following special from Wheeling: "McLuckie,
now burgess OF Homestead. was employed in
the Bellaire steel plant for several wears prior
TO 1886. In that year the steel workers STRUCK

violence not before experienced in that com

understood that he will, after consultation with
eastern leaders, endeavor to see Gen. Ben But

strikers who have been or are to be arrested for
participation In the 9Th Of July riot.

sympathy Is pouring in on the Homestead strik-

not being made public. Most of the COM

from believers in the third party and Its future
greatness as an instrument of reform

Kansas says: Tell your people all over that
