One Man Says That He Would Blow Up the Works Before He Would See Non-Union Labor There—Correspondents Treated With More Consideration. Staff Correspondence of The Evenins St Hoxrsreap, Pa., July 10, 1892. Church bells were inviting the godly and the ungodly to participate in the morning servi before the major portion of Homestead’s popu- lation was out of bed. Saturday night was overloaded with rumors, and, as every ¢anard causes some one to expend a little more energy, there were several thousand weary men here light came and relieved the tension and uncertainty of the hours of darkness, And yet it is easily possible that before the sun gocs down there will be splashes of human blood on the dusty streets of Homestead, the groans of wounded and dying in the air and the wail of | women who will not be cémforted. Every in- dication points toward a crisis in the near future. ‘The strikers are ready and even anxious to have it come and their lea@urs say it cannot much longer be averted. When Hugh O'Don- nell and his assosiates—the strong men of this anti-Carnegie crowd— returned from Harrisbu: the people looked for good news, There ha been consultation with Gov. Pattison and a thorongh understanding as to the whole situa- tion was reached. Yet, when I talked with O'Donnell is pleasant face was less | bright than usual and his ordinarily firm voice trembled as he talked. “There will be trouble here,” he said. “I do not see how it can be avoided. ‘The proapect is, a terrible one, but there is a settled determina- Teal | Gut the following orders to the eaptzins of the | tion not to permit the importation of non-uniun workmen.” Could any utterance be moro ominous? It means that the Carnegie mill at Homestead—-the most important branch of the company’s enor- mous piant—shail remain idle until the are returned to work on their own terms, or that any effort to put the company in possession of its property will be met by desperate and thor- oughly armed men. All sympathy in this region is with the strikers and unless they behave outrageously they will continue to receive aid and comfort in full measure. The person who calcula! ported and indications are tht | the Homestead millworkers are in battie arru is wrong in his promises. Every toiler in this county and in al other ndjacent coun is ready to do his part in the strife if the prob- Jem cannot be solved without bloodshed.

As soon as these men realize that they are beaten uo one can foresee their acts. As each day phases away there ‘s an inerease in the spirit of restlessness and a growth of individual arrogance. The leaders ure men of strong common sense, but their con- trolling grip is not as firm as it was. So long as the saloons were closed it was not _ difficult for half a dozen superior men to indicate the route which should be taken by the ion, but now that every drinking place, licensed and un- licensed, is wide open living in this place is just a trifle more disagreeable than it was a day, or twoago. Inmulting remarks from semi-intoxi- cated nen are too frequent to be enjoyable, and as any display of resentment, Uy a stranger would probably result in his death or lasting injary there is an uncomfortable bridle on every tongue and encumbering fetters ori limbs that'are muscular enough to spoil the beauty of any one of the insolent roysterers. All things considered, however, the number of intoxicated individuals is small’ and the order is good, ‘These men will not fight among themeelves, a least not until there arises some question on which there will be disagreement.

Carnegie and Frick may, byjtaking away our jobs,compel us toleave Home- stead and seek employment elsewhere, but be- fore we go there will be nothing but ruins where those buildings now stand. A combina- tion of capital and militia can do much, but it is powerless when the other side of the ques- tion is argued by dynamite.” To blow up all the plant would take a good deal of dynamite, and, personally, I do not think there is cnough of the explosive here to make good the threat.

IF THE PINKERTONS COME AGAIN. The Pinkertons were defeated by about 5,000 workmen. If the Pinkertons come again they must contend with from 10,000 to 15,000 of the brawniest and grittiest descendants of Adam that ever bound themselves together for the advancement of a cause or the protection of what has been termed a principle. Tho Knights of Labor, through their gencral officers, the Federation of Labor, the braisworkers, the As- sociation of Flint Glassworkers and other pow- erful societies have all put themselves on record as friends of the Homestead men, and from the local membership of these societies there would come a great many recruits in case there should bea battle. With a knowledge of there facts it more grave every hour,although there has been a temporary cessation of active hostilities. Un- less the state troops are here in sufficient force when the company next essays to take possos- sion of its works there will be fought in this town the greatest battle this nation has experi- enced since the clove of the rebellion.

PEACE YOR CORRESPONDENTS, Between belligerent and supersensitive strik- ersand the newspapers correspondents there is temporary peace. From the beginning we of the pross have been objects of suspicion, and to the disturbed populace we have never been auything but privileged detectives. Yesterday we consulted with Hugh O'Donnell and last night we met ut the Amalgamation headquarters. There were abont two-score correspondents resent, and to each one was given a cambric dge on which was printed: aA OFL AS. Ww. OFFICIAL PRESS BADGE. Homestead. Beneath the lower dash is a big figure, or two res, as the case may be. ‘When every man who was entitled to a badge had been supplied the cor jents nd firmly with any one of the profession who was improp= erly treated.

Thon the called for credentials, These were peotinsel and suspicion so much allayed that we were allowed to proceed on our way. There was some mention made of taking us to headquarters, but this was passed over. While the colloquy was going on the crowd about us had increased in size until it assumed goodly numbers. Sev- eral women were in the gathering. Perhaps it was a desire to make us feel that no indignity was intended or it may have been a belief that we would bear further watching that made the assemblage conduct us to the ferry. At any rate they formed a hollow square about our Persons and walked with us to the river, where We encountered more pickets. For the first time in my life I understood what it was to be the center of attraction. “T realized then the feelings of Prof. Bousa when he marches down Pennsylvania avenue with his band, the idol of the emall boy, the ‘We were carefully placed ‘a small row boat—a gen- tleman from County Kerry conducting the em- barkation, and escorted by a boat load of pitk- ets, one of whom glanced. lovingly at our per- sonsand then at the rifle he hel we were rowed to the other side of the Monongahela. HEADQUARTERS OF THE WORKERS. Ido not think there was any great personal danger (although I realized the intensity feeling which prevails in the minds of some of the hotheaded ones against newspaper men and other outsiders), but the experience showed me how perfect is the discipline and how unrea- sonable the suspicion of some of those on picket duty. “I made the return journey in company with several pickets from the opposite were going to headquarters to report, but they evidently believed me to be straight and were mite friendly in their display of confidence. ‘Pais confidence may perhaps have beon born of amention I made of beer. At any rate there was no hesitation on their parc to imbibe at my expense, and I reached the center of town in safety, escorted byan able-bodied striker armed with w large club, who did not make himself known to me, but who evidently had a personal interest in my welfare.” ‘Two hours ago Mr. MoEnnis of the Chicago office of the Associated Press arrived in town. A picket stopped him and demanded bis busl- ness.

Early in the day a telegram was received from East Buffalo warning the strikers that three car loads of Pinkertons were on their way, During the afternoon there was confirmat news and from other points came similar at ling information or misinformation.
