rails and steel billets, and from this
place OF safe refuge the detectives were
subjected to most CALLING fire.
The battle continued through the day
or July and was renewed that follow
ing morning, when a brass 1O-pound
cannon had been secured by the strik-
ers and planted so as to command the
barges moored at the banks of the
river.
Another force Of one thousand men
had taken up position on the oppo-
site side Of the river, where they pro-
tected themselves and the cannon which
they had obtained by breastwork of
railroad ties.
A little before 9 o'clock a lombard
ment commenced, the cannon being
turned on the boats, and the fire was
kept up for several hours. AS the
boats were protected by heavy steel
plates inside, efforts were made to fire
them.
Hose was procured and oil strayed on
the decks and sides of the bardges, and
at the same time many barrels of oil
were emptied into the river above the
mooring place, the purpose being to ig-
mite 1t and then allow it to float against
the boats. Under these combined move.
ments the Pinkertons were obliged tt
throw out flag Of truce.
The officers of the Amalgamated AS.
ISOLATION interfered, and surrender Of
the detectives was arranged. It wa.
proposed that the should be safely
guarded under condition that they LEFT
their arms and ammunition, and thes.
terms were accepted.

TRAGIC EPISODE AT HOME
STEAD IN '92.

The seVerest labor controversies in
the history of the United States occur
red during the last quarter Of the nine
teenth century. Probably the most ex-
pensive and farreaching struggle which
can properly be classed among the
historic controversies of the period
named was the Chicago strike of June
and July, 1884, but the most interesting,
thrilling, and dramatic incident or event
in the labor movement of the United
States must be considered the Home
stead affair of July 4, 1892.
The trouble grew out of a disagree
ment in the previous month relative to
wages. July4, 1892, the officers Of the
Carnegie Steel Company asked the
sheriff of the county to appoint deputies
to protect the works while they carried
out their intention Of making repairs.
The employees on their part organized
to defend the works against what they
called encroachments or demands to
enter; in fact, the workmen took pos
session of the Homestead steel works.
When the sheriff's men approached,
the workmen, who were assembled in
force, notified them to leave the place.
They further offered to act as deputies,
an offer which was declined.
Fighting occurred on the 5th, the i'm
mediate cause of which was the ap-
proach of a body of Pinkerton detec-
tives, who were gathered in two steel
lined barges on the Ohio river some
miles below the works.
When the Pinkertons arrived the
the workmen broke through the mill
fence, intrenched themselves behind
steel billets, and made all preparations
to resist the approach Of the Pinkerton
barges. They resisted all attempts to
land, this resistance resulting in a
fierce battle, brought on by a heavy
volley of shots from the strikers.
The Pinkertons were armed with
Winchesters, but they were obliged tt
land and ascend the embankment In
single file, and SO were forced to return
to the boats, suffering severly from thu
opposing fire.
Many efforts were made to land, bu
the position of the men they were at.
lacking was an exceedingly strong one
they having intrenched themselves be.

demanding more than it's rights from
capital for the reason that capital will
demand more than it's rights from la
Dor if not checkmated in time.
Perhaps the most significant feature
of this strike is that such an eminent
financier as Mr.. j. P. Morgan, man
who in his day has taken honors at d
German university, should have failed
to perceive that such scheme as the
United States Steel corporation would
eventually meet it's fate at the hands Of
labor--provided no other contingency
rendered it hors de combat in the mean
time. Mr.. Morgan appears to have i'm
limited resources at his command. and
presumably it is in his power to put
up cash enough at this time to defeat
the strikers. But his observation and
his good sense should tell him, that
his victory could be only temporary.
Organized labor may be discounted
today, but it will triumph tomorrow
That is to say, it will in this case.
When labor, in it's fight with capital,
asks for more than it's rights, it will
in the long run suffer defeat. And when
capital, in it's controversies with labor,
aims at more than is justly its due, it
will eventually come to grief. To prop
erly$ judge the present strike it is nee
essary to- go below the surface facts.
Specifically the United States Steel

TOO FOND OF W0RKMEN.

The resignation of Rev. John Irvine,
rector Of the Anglican Church of st.
Michael's, the most important congre-
cation In the suburb of Mount Pleas
ant, B. c., has created somewhat of a
sensation in ecclesiastical and also in
social circles throughout that city, says
the San Francisco Bulletin.
Mr.. Irvine has been rector of ST..
Michaeps for eight years, and by his
zeal and energy has built it up from a.
struggling little mission to prosperous
parish of 400 members. Under such
circumstances, and the further fact that
Mr.. Irvine is still under 40 and is par
tlcularly acceptable as a preacher the
request of the vestry that he resign
created tremendous surprise. A clue to
the real cause was found in the COM
plant of several of his more fashionable
Pensioners to the Lord Bishop Of the
diocese to the effect that the rector
had committed the objectionable social
sin of shaking hands with working
man returning home in street car,
and then offered his hand to a society
lady, also a member of his flock. OF
course the lady refused the clerical
hand thus polluted by touching the hand
of the fellow worshiper, both in the car
and after church on Sunday morning,
when the episode was practically re-
peated.
The critics of the rector expected to
see the church emptied. But, on the
contrary, it was crowded to the doors
at every service. . In that section of the
city live the employees of a large sugar
refinery and two mills. For the broader
culture of these men Parson Irvine had
established workingmen's clubs for
| reading and debating. He threw open
to them every evening the parish school
room, where they were invited to read
papers and magazines provided, to play
games, and were urged to bring their
pipes along and be comfortable. Then
the rector built out of his own pocket,
on the parish property, small gym
nasium, fairly equipped. and. being him
self an athlete, he gave instructions to
those desiring it in fencing and boxing.
All these performances filled the
church, caused the rector to be adored
by the workingmen and scandalized the
fashionable folk in the congregation
They are now looking for a likely young
man who will preach but not practice
the doctrine of religious equality. As
for Rev. Irvine, he is going to minister
to little mission church at Port
Moody, where he anticipates there will
be less fashion and more Christianity

Ledges in Tonopah.

Inc rfufeka tNef.D oentmel says
that Barney McKernan had arrived
in Eureka from an extended trip
through Southeastern and Eastern
Nevada The last place he visited
was the new mining camp Of Tono-
pah, and he says that town presents
very lively appearance consider
able ore has already been shipped;
that not enough development work
has vet been done on the various
prospects to determine whether well.
defined lodges exist in that district
or not. He says high mountain
rises abruptly to the east Of where
the principal locations have been
made (six in number and the only
bad sign he observed, which would
discourage the theory that large
bodies of ore will be found, is the fact
that instead of the lodes that have
already been opened up dipping into
the mountain mentioned above, they
run parallel with it. The groupings
are very rich, the ore averaging not
less than $75 per ton He believes if
the trend of the Lodges was toward
the mountain instead of parallelling
it, Tonopah would be one of the big
gest and richest mining camps ever
discovered on the Coast San Fran
cisco Chronicle
For pure and madulterated idiocy
, the above fills the bill We have not
the pleasure of the personal aequain-
tance Of Mr.. McKernan, but he is ev-
. identity one OF these wise ducks who
want to display their alleged wisdom.
The facts stated are not true, but
even il they were true, we fail to see
what possible difference it could
make one way or another. The
lodges DO NOT run parallel with any
mountain. The trend of the lodges
is toward mountain These are
the facts, though we are unable to
see by what process of reasoning a
man can come to the conclusion that
it would make particle of differ
| ence il these were not the facts As
to the well defined lodges, we would
like to know in what other locality
any better defined lodges exist than
right here in Tonopah. We presume
this wise man would also have doubt
ed the richness of the ore had not the
smeltcr returns been staring him in
the face,
It is hardly worth while to notice
such drivelling falsehood as is con-
tanned in the foregoing clipping, were
it not for the fact that this stuff is
copied in other papers a9d given
wide circulation. We clip the item
from the San Francisco Chronicle,
in which it is published with all due
solemnity as mining news. 1t only
indicates to lis that the fools are not
all dead yet.
