' Inomics of the Western Scok to Bring
About Its Downfall.
WHAT THE SITUATION REALLY IS
Cliaiirn ol Having to KlnlMi tlio
Hrtiimnrllh Six ClnMi-Omnlm und
Columbus All ItlKbt and 1'ayliiR
Tlinlr Hills.
To sny iho least , the affairs of the Western
league of base ball clubs is in a very wobbly
condition , but there Is yet a possibility of the
organization going through thoseason , If with
but six clubs.
Managers Stout and Schmolz of Omaha
mid Columbus hava as yet received no ofllcial
notilleatlon of the dlnbandmont of any of the
clubs , and say they will bo in the Hold as long
ns they have nn opponent to play lu'iunst ,
Tho' rumored llunkof "Huron" Haeh with
his Minneapolis team surprises no ono
conversant with this Individual's base
ball history. He Is a quitter
from Quittersburg , nnd tno league had
plenty of admonition this spring as to the
probabio conacouuiicos if the Minneapolis
franchise was given him. The ndmission efFort
Fort Wayne was another blunder. It is but
n wayside hamlet at the host and would do
well to maintain n club In the croquet league
through a season. Milwntmee , too , has
always rested ilko an Incubus on thn shoul
der * of the Western organization ,
and never entered Us territory
with Iho right sort of fooling. Any
thing that Milwaukee does or might do con
occasion no surprise to those who have had
repeated experience with her.
As it looks now the salvation of the West-
cm llrs In the admission of Juliet liiui a con
tinuance ns a nix-club body , with Columbus.
Toledo und Indianapolis in iho east and
Jollet , Omaha and Kansas City in the west.
A day or two moro will tell Iho story.
In case of n sinaahup nine out of uvcrv ton
of the Western league players can safely
apply for positions In the harvest Hold for
thu season nt least their base ball snap will
have reuched nn Inglorious und.
Onialiit Sound Knim li.
Tbo Omaha bnso ball club is all rleht , ns
Round ns a dollar , and sure to stick until the
Injt hope is gone. The Interest tn the game
has Improved wonderfully bore during the
past three wuolis , and paying crowds are in
attendance at all the mimes.
If the league remains intact , or Is reorgan
ized HO it will go through iho season , the
management will more than break oien It
will have something to show on the right
Hide of tinledger. . In view of this prospect
it would bo lamentable indeed to bo com
pelled tn disband.
President Stout of the local loam and
MumiRer Schmoiz of the Columbus will get
together this iiltcrnoon find u strenuous ef
fort will bo made to stave off tbu threatened
disaster. The Omaha club today stands
even with the world. It does not ewe the
league a dollar , has paid the plavprs
promptiv up to date , and has no outstanding
bills of any description. Mcny of thu stories
ol' wreck and ruin sent out havu uminated
Jroin crack brain correspondents who know
nbmit as much about the true condition of
'hlnii'j as they do of holy writ. Uuiahn and
< 'omnibus will play their regular schedule
I'utnu at ' afternoon
Sporfman's park this ,
and a good crowd should turn out and put to
rout the prevailing feeling of uncertainty.

All of the llnlsnes showed the winners fur in

when Uevolver , thn heavily backed favorite
in the selling rucn , turned a somersault com

down with him. The Held in this race was
an extraordinarily largo ono and Starter

pined -Views ol IHIlVrrnt Mou
on the .Subject.
The mombcrs of the city council , most of
thu city oHlclals , the onicow of the Union
Depot company mid a lanjo number of the
prominent , citizens of thn city hold forth In
tlio council chamber litst night to discuss
ways and moans looking to thu erection of a
union depot for the city of Omaha. Presi
dent Davis occupied the chair , and upon the
convening of the meeting stated Its object.
Thomas L. Klmball staled tllill It was gen
erally understood that work upon the depot
could not bu resumed so long as the restrain
ing order preventing the delivery of the
deeds. The Uurllngton would put no moro
money into the depot until the land question
was settled. The Union Depot company
hnd , ho said , asked the city for
the deed. It hnd boon agreed to , but when
the injunction was Issued that of course
made the proposition impossible. It was
proposed that doed.s conveying the grounds
to the depot company should bo made and
hold in trust until the depot was completed ;
Mr. Klmb'ill had hoard Mr. Amos , ono of the
heaviest stockholders , say thut lie thought
arrangements could bo made for the com
pletion of the dopot.
About thn Depot Proposed.-
Mayor Ucmls was in favor of a union
depot. The company bad agreed to build a
$500,000 depot , but the contemplated struct
ure and the one partly built meant the ox-
pondiluro of only about § 150,000. The mayor
thought the best thing for Omaha would bo
to have a depot.it Ninth and Fa'niam streets.
Ono thing he know was that the city of
Omaha would uot bo satislloU with the pro
posed depot on which work was stopped
some months ago.
Mr. Kimball replied that sotno time ago
tuo representative1 of tbo railroads , some of
thu councilmcn and mom burs of the citizen's
committee mot nnd discussed the plans nnd
specifications. He did uot think the plans
ruprcsentcu a depot that was a sham.
Engineer IJosowutor , who was at the moot
ing referred to by Mr. Ivimtaull , was called
for. Ho said the plans ware exhibited and
that they scorned to indicate a solid , sub
stantial building. The appeal-unco would uo
conspicuous.nnd the data indicated a very
fair building. "
C. W. Hamilton asked if the building
would cost SltiO.OHO.
-Mr. Koscwator replied that ho hnd not
seen the estimates of thu architects , but ho
thought from his observation that the build
ing might cost 5100,000.
A. U. Dufrono said n good many pcoplo
had the Impression that the depot was a
cheap affair. Ho had been an architect ult
IIM life. He hnd examined the plans and
had come to Iho opinion thut when com
pleted tno depot would bo as line ns any
thing west of Now York. If the company
built the depot for less than SIOO.OJO it might
consider itself lucicy.
S. P. Morjo had looked at the depot and
had seer , the plans , The debating of the
depot was not tno question , what ( Jmuhu
wanted was the dopot. The question to deal
with was the deeding of the grounds.
Mr. Klmball said the agreement , was that
thu city should surrender iho Sool'0a : ; guar
antee bond- , turn over the $15i,00i ) ) of viaduct
bond.s and tno lands to bo deeded to the
depot company when the building was com
pleted. That was the talk with thu com
mittee.
lElglits or the City Maintained.
E. Hoiowator said the city had voted $150-
000 lu bonds tn aid in the construction ot a
depot and viaduct. All action was enjoined
by the courts und up to the present time
they had not rendered a dollnito decision.
Continuing. Mr. Uosewatcr said there was
un agreement that all roads should enter
the city over the briduo upon reason
able terms. It was now uskeil , ho aaid
that the city should release its rights. If it
was un assumed fact that the rival bridge
would bo constructed , ho would not favor
relinquishing the rights of the city. The
pcoplu bad voted bonds to iho Nebraska
Central. They had become exasperated
and would liavo voted $3,000,000 If it had
been asked.
Within the post row days ttioro had been a
revival of the depot project , nnd iho Ninth
and Farnam street location' hud been dis
cussed. If it could be secured it would bo
free from the complications surrounding the
construction ot iho other depot. Mr. Hose-
water thought that the proposed depot mlcht
accommodate ) the business of the city , but
could not bo so practicable ns ono loss than
tour stories in height and having more space
on thu ground.
C. W. Hamilton said that ho could not
throw any light upon the depot question. It
was the wrong idea to deed the property
awav to thn roads. If two great roads like-
tlio Union Pacillc and the B. & M. could not
afford to civo Omaha a depot , ho was In
favor of going without ono until something
froze over. It was too much like boy's play
to compromise. The roads had made a bar
gain and they should Htund by it. It was
lime for Omaha tn tnlio n stand and not
weaken. In 1H7-I , alter tbo lands
wuro donated , the Unioa Pixcilic told
something about a transfer on the
oilier side of the river. Air. Dillon was
hero and a committee watted on him to learn
about iho transfer. Mr. Dillon said that it
was absurd to tulle anything of the kind , but
within three months the transfer was placed
on the other side of thu rivur.
"As far as I am concerned , " continued Mr.
Hamilton , " 1 am in favor of now holding the
roads to their bargain. If they can stand it ,
wu can. "
DiMKi'iici'l'iil Troutini'iit.
Mr. Hamilton said that it was n disgrace
that Omaha did not have a depot. Tha city
had given the Union Pacillc bonds , lands in
front of the city and lands throughout the
county.
"If wo have made n bargain , " said Mr.
Hamilton , "lot us live up to It , but if not lot
us .stop riuht hero , "
Dr. Mercer had maJo nn investigation'of
the subject and found thatthodepov company
bad ngroou to build a depot of certain dimen
sions ; that nil roads were to cross iho bridge
and comu inlo the city under curtain contll-
lloiis. When Mr , Clark took hold of the
road ho decided that hU company did not
want the Hock Island to entur thu citv ac
cording to terms of the contract. Then ha
bat about to break the contract. It was
broken. Hails wcro lorn up , which
exasperated the pooplo. That reunited tn
Jonn D. Howe enjoining tbo transfer of the
laud , und Ernest Stuht unjoining the deliv
ery of thu f ISO.OIH ) of viaduc't bonds. Tnis
resulted In looking up thu depot question ,
nnd It was found lhat thn building was not
being constructed according to plans. Tliu
Injunction was based upon thu face
that the pluns wuro changed ,
and that the building was commenced
upon u plan diifjrent than nt lira ! , contem
plated. The matter was UISCUBBOU with
Messrs. Clark , ICimball and Holdrcpc.
They agreed that the bonds would bo
abandoned , suits were to bo withdrawn , thu
deeds were to bo placed Ip trust , uud rouds
wuru to bo allowed to cross the bridgo. Mr.
Howu declared that ho would not roiuut ,
Outfit to Do Homotlilni ; 1'riittjr .Soon ,
Tbo matter was dropped for two months.
Another cominlttuo of live was appointed and
haa a conference with the olllcials. What
that committee accomplished Dr. Mercer did
uot know. Thu doctor M as sure that sumo-
thlng should bu done and donu at unco.
Whether or not the depot wus IOD high bo
could not nay , h-omu of the otll-
cluls hud told him that thov
wore willing to abandon the grounds.
n > they were moro voluublu fur triiukugo
than for depot purposes. That portion of
thu city east of Tenth street should bo for
passengers and freight dupols , for truckage
nnd for warehouse purposes. The IntcrobU
of the city would bo enhanced U the city
would buy four block * In the vicinity of
Ninth and Farnam hi reels and donate- them
for depot purposes. If Omuhu abandoned
iho old deal and made a now agreement for
another elto it would settle all of thu old dlf-
tlcultios.
W. Llulngor said thut bo was a
f mombcr o ( thft conference committon. Ho

John A. Har'bach said that ho had boon a
mum kmof the committee that , had tried to
get tlio depot comnlotod. Ttio idea was to
liavo it completed before the holding
ot the conventions in Omaha. Mr.
Olnrlto objoet-d to lu completion without
milking sonfo chances which would destroy
tlio appearance of the depot. It was also
stated that curtain land * should DO deodud.
Thn Hrit plans were something of a sham ,
as the material In the old shod was to t-o
used. The new plans provided for nearly
double tuo amount of llonr s.acc , Including
train sheds. The railmad companies proposed -
posed to rolo.iso the $ lf > UOOl ) viaduct bonds.
The now plans contemplated a power huuso.
and n baggage housu oonnocted with Eluv-
onth street , which would lenva tl'ii depot free
to passonirer tratlloV'Mr. Clnrk wanted to
go on wltli the worlt , but Instead of having
the deeds placed in escrow ho wanted thorn
delivered , that they could borrow money nnd
at once oompluto the bulldlnir. The train
sheds nt thn east end of I'm ' depot would
cover nearly three acres of ground and would
involve an oxpendlturo of 8100,000 alone.
Mr. Harbauh was sutisllcd that the Uurlini-
ton was anxious to 150 on with the worlt.
Frank Murphy wus anxious to see thn depot
completed.
C. S. lilguttcr thought tli.it it wai too laio
to talk another silo. Omaha has waited
twenty years for a , depot , and It was folly to
spend live years in getting another slto. Uo
did not thlnlc that any two or three men had
any right to slop the progress of the city by
Injunction suits or otherwise.
Mr. Hamilton could not see where any
thing was pained bv holding back. The
companies had held possession of the grounds
for twenty years.
Omaha Can Itu rutlcmt.
Mr. Kosowntor said that the city had
waited twenty years , and that it could wait
twonty-ono years to pet what it wanted.
What Oinuhn wanted was a good depot , as
good as the ilopot at St. Paul. Ho
wanted to see the city protected.
Ho wanted to see every road that
oamo over the bridge have eciml | rights.
The oonus , ho believed , wore voted In
violation of the spirit of the law.
Ho voted for them and would willingly
give them If the roads bad lived up to their
agreement. Omuha had cot the viaduct and
the truth was that It ought to have been
built tun years ago. Mr. Clnrk had said that
he would plan iho depot at Ninth and Fur-
num. If Mr. Clark wanted to trade tlioro
could bo no objection 10 doing so it Omaha
would got a belter depot.
Ernest Stuht said that ho acted in goou
faittj when ho secured the injunction. Ho
did not want to stand In the way of the ad
vancement of the city , but did not w.int the
depot removed fromits present location.
\V. I. Kiorsti > ad . said that some men felt
that when they deajt with corporations they
had a perfect liberty to resort to any means.
When Mr. Stubt p'pourud ' that injunction ho
did Omaha a great Injury. Tlio viaduct
bonds were votcw. in good faith , and it was
the Intention of tun people that they should
oo delivered. Omaha had given the Union
Pacilio a croat dual,1 but during the same
time the Union Pacllle had done a great deal
to holt ) Omaha. , <
" .Mr. Kimbaii , " said Mr. ICiorstcacJ ,
"would the Union l opot company consider
the plan uf moving ( ho uopot up to Xinta
and Kirnam stroottt"
"Tho Depot company , " replied'Mr. Kimball -
ball , "is t.'ni Burlington and the Union Pa-
cillc companies. The Union Pacilii ! might
consider the proposition , but 1 do not think
the Burlington would listen to it for a mo
ment. " - ' . '
Continuing ; Mr. Kforslcad said.that If the
depot "could bo built" at'tlio foot of Farnum
street bo thought it would bo botl'or to wait
a year or so and see what could bo done.
Max .Meyer thought that QUO union depot
was not the thing. The moro depots that
wore built the bettor It would bo for the city.
For thn Fariiam Mri'ot fjltr.
Dr. Mercer asked whether the deed was
demanded by the Union Depot company or to
the Union Pacillu road. Ho questioned
whether t No city had a right to deed to the
depot company , as the original dealings wore
with the Union Pncillu road. The doctor said
his plan was not to have tlm depot on Fur-
iiatn , but on Tenth street , with the
grounds running to Klchth street.
Mr. Clark had said that the crado
tluough Kmhtn street , connecting with the
Missouri Pacific , was practlu.iblo. The city
should not contribute its money to anything
as u wastage. Hy that no meant that
ho would not have u donot by
which Omaha would bo made only a way
station. Mr. Holdrego had authorized nun to
say tnat the UuiliiiL'tou wonid do us much in
the construction of a depot as any other
company.
11. W. Yatcs said.the question was simply
whether or not the contracts with the rail
roads ought to bo carried out. If the dopul
company had compiled with its contract ,
then tno city ought to do the same.
If the railroads and tlio depot com
pany had carried out their contract , then
the city had simply .stolon n viaduct.
The location of the old depot was bad , ho
said , nnd if it could bo accomplished , ho
would rather sue it located in conformity
wlih the ideas advanced uy Mr. Hoewntcr.
A. H. Dufrcno said that the depot on Fur-
nnin .street was no scheme of Mr. Clark's.
"If the depot is put thuro I will give fj.OOO
cash myself. "
W. I. Kierstad said tnat his company was
under contract to build a new building on
upper l''unmm tttrnat , but If the depot was
bvllt on lower Furnuiu tin would willingly
ftrfoin the § 10,0110.
City Attorney Connell said that the Union
Pacific had never c irrled out a contract inadu
with the city. Jin was willing to
extend the olive branch , but that if
it was not ni'cuptcd , then ho would hang out
tlio black Hair. Tliu citizens' committee
telegraphed Mr. Clurk. but Mr. Clark did
not oven condcarond to answer the telegram ,
lie did not cnruvhulhcr the dreu was placed
in escrow or delivered , but he wanted
something tu show that the depot
would bu completed. The lower Farnum
street depot site1 , Mr. Council said was sim
ply a bait to catch gudgeon. The schumo
was not practicable , us it would cost a vast
amount of money to seenns the land. Omalia
was not In fault , but the railroads wcro.
They had not kept their agreement with
tlio city. Mr. Howe and Mr.
Stuht could , niiituur of them , stand
in the way of a JuaViuydcqultablusettlenient.
Mr. Connell unuurs/Jqad / that the depot com-
panv would go ou wll'h the work if the tower
could bu cut down' . ' , ' 4'jiat Mr. Connull was
willlnir to have donc'"but ho did not prouose
to submit to the omuilng of such u depot as
would bu located at u way station.
He did not consider the bridge agreement
with ntnor roads of so much Importance tu
the city. Tlio KocK ' Island had a iiiiuity-nlno
year contract withho ( Union Pan lie , onu
that could bo lerminated upon three years
notice , so that could not amount to very
much. The deed did not amount to much.
The Union Pncillu hild boon in possession
and tbo transfer no understood was only for
the iiut'poso of allowing thu depot company
to borrow money. "iJtslong as the Union Pa-
cillu heal possession , .H could romaln there
nuil the city couldiijp disturb its rights.
Cimliirimci ! Cofliinlltiin Nuini'il ,
Mr. Lowry was glaa that the depot ques
tion had been discussed. Then lie moved
that acommitloo bo npppiutod to confer with
the depot ntllcials to ECS what terms could bu
agreed upon.
For tuo conference this committee was
namndi Messrs. Prince , Davis , Lowry ,
Munro. Edward * , Mayor JJomis , Attorney
Connell and ICnuinuur Ko uwulor.
Mr , PrlncK said the depot company would
bullu the depot , provided thu suits woru dis
missed and the bonds wore delivered.
Mr. Lowr.\ said ho hoped that mutton had
s Map ml themselves so that the agreements
on both sides cuul ( | oo carried out ,
Mr. Klmball slated ( .hat tliuro was a mis-
'
undemanding uuout 'bridge affairs. The
aereemoiit was that tub rouds should cross

At Homestead the labor sentiment has
reached thn zenith of perfection , tieeordinit
In that crni-d. Hero no ono dare question
the right of thu strikers to hold the mills
against thnontraimi of guards , workers or
niiyono inltnlful to their Interests. Hero Is u
case in point :
In the ! burr.ieks nt tlomestoati early this
morning , -vliure the Plulurtiin men were
Imprisoned uoforu being sent to Pittsburg ,
Hugh O'Donnell , the aeknowledgoit leaderof
the strikers , asserted :
. "Six Pinkertoii mon nro dead. And no one
kiuws how miinv are In the river. "
A correspondent who kno'V now many of
these men were dead nslunl him where Iho
six dead wero. Holng iiuablu to answer ho
bojamo enraged and with an oath denounced
the man who had thn temerity to question
his asiottion. The denunciation was uttered
before a crowd of Ins followers , and had ho
said the word the Innocent offondur would
have been as roughly handled as were the
Pir.kerton mon.
Another e.iso was where n Pittsburir ro-
porior In an article quoted O'Doi.noil.
Yesterday ho mot the reporter on the stage
of the cupolas of the mills , nnd O'Donnell
took nim roughly to task for mentioning his
name and remarked : "I could throw you In
that cupola if I wanted to-eoiildn't I.bov.sl"
They were nil stiindlpcin an instant , and
in chorus foplled , "You bet you could , " and
ono of the men drew a pistol from his pocket
to cmplmsi/.o the assertion.
Alarmed In IMlttliurg.
V'lnlo tlio sentiment In Homestead Is ns
bos been described , It inodiliod in tlio case of
the worliors In the elty mills. Hut , as
demonstrated yesterday , if Hoinoncnd
needed reinforcements an army of
5,000 men , most of them nVmed ,
could bo assembled in a few hours. Yester
day a false report was spread about thu south
sldaof this city , whioli is a manufacturing
district , thut moro mon were needed in
Homestead. In n short time nearly ti.OOO men
bud gone to the scene of carnago.
Under all these circumstances the manu
facturers have flnallv been forced to a sense
of realization that they must run their own
business , and unless the workers commence
to realize that they intend to do so it need
create no surprise if deeds similar to those
enacted ut Homestead yesterday transpire in
mid about this city.
Not Suit ) to T lIf.
Several manufacturers engaged in waking
other materials than iron or steel were
called upon today bv a correspondent for
Tins Tir.E , with a view of securing their
opinions upon the present labor situation.
So ono man visited would express an opinion
for publication. Thov were frank enough
to stw :
First : That being in other lines of in
dustry than making iron or steel they were
not practical in those lines and were not
therefore competent to express an opinion
on the relative merits of existing troubles
between employer and employes.
Second : That were they to express -HI
opinion us to the merits of the case , such
opinions would arouse the ire of their own
men and something unpleasant might re
sult.
It was understood that -so lieop was the
sympathy of workers in all Industrial
branches for the mon nt Homestead that it is
not safe to tnako public expressions.

PiTTsiifiio , Pa. , July 7. II. C. Fncko ,
cbairman of the Carne io Steel company ,
this evening was interviewed ns follows by
George N. McCain , thu correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press :
"Wnat was the basis of tbo dllTorence ex
isting at present between the Carnegie com
pany untl their men , Mr. Frlcko ! "
"There wore three points upon which wo
differed. The skilled workmen in the Amal
gamated association work under what is
known as a sliding scale. As the price of
stool advances the earnings of tlio men ad
vance ; as the prices fall their earnings decrease -
crease in proportion. While there is no
limit to an advance of oarmnzs on the scale ,
there is a point ut which the decline stops.
Ir. is known as thu minimum , and the
figure heretofore has been Ji. > per ton for
1x4 Hcdsomor billots. Wo buliovo that if
earnings based on the selling price of steel
can udvnnco without Irnit , the workmen
should bo willing to follow the -ollini , ' prlcu
down to a reasonable minimum , and so this
ligure was Dually llxod by the Carnegie
company at the ratoofJJJ instead of $ „ ' . ) .
The reason for asking this unon our part
was that the Carnegie company has spent
largo sums of money in the introduction
or now nincmnury in its Homestead
plant , by means of which the workmen
were cnanlcd to increase the daily output ,
thereby increasing the amount of their n/vn
earning. * Wo Had orimnatiy asked u rcd'ic *
tlou to $ J'J. but subsequently nzreud to com
promise the raw at $ ; ; ! . Tliu Amalgamated
association was unwilling to consider a re
duction below $ - ' " on steel billets , notwith
standing the lact that the improved machin
ery would enable their mombor.s.everi at ; ? . ! , ' ! ,
to earn moro than is paid in other amalga
mated mills. This was tbo tlrst point at
issiio.
Ahliccl That tin ! I.lIc lln fiiiiiiKiil. ;
"Under the present amnlgaaiated system
the date of the eliding scale Is Juno ; iuin. .
Dually.Vo ask that this date bo chunked tu
December Ml ( same as nt ISdgar Thompson's
for the reason that tlio chungu would permit
us to tul'.n our estimate upon the wages thut
wo must pay djring the year beginning
on January 1 , so that wo would lu enabled
to nutIcn contracts for tlio year accornliigly.
This point the Amalgamated association re
fused to concede and demanded the old date.
"Tlio third proposition was the reduction
in tonnage rates in thoio departments in tlio
mills where the Improvements I have spoken
of have been m.iuV , and which enable thu
wurklngmon to incrcnsu tlio output and con
sequently their earnings. Whoru no sucli
improvements had been made , there was no
rrijuoit upon our part for n reduc
tion in tonnugo rates. In other words ,
wo asked no reduction in any depart
ment ut which tin ) output hud not been
greatly increased by roasun of our expansive
improvements since tlio ucaiuof IhSO went
Into effect. We nro prepared to BIIOW that in
nearly every department under our proposed
reduction in the tonnage rates the skilled
worlcmun would muku moro money than they
did when the scilo of ISb'.l ' went Into effect.
"As a rue the men who are making the
largest wage * In tlio Homestead mill were
thn ones who must bitterly denounced tlio
proposed rovlslon uf tbo scale , lor out of tlio
; i,600 mou omployt-d in every department ,
only ! U5 were directly ulTectud by the roduo-
tl-n. Finding that it was impossible to
arrive at any ngroomont with the Amalga
mated olllci'r.s , wu decided to close our wonts
at Homestead. "
Why Tlii'V Cullixl on Ilin I'liilturtuiiH.
"Why did thu CilrucfMa company call upon
the Pln'kortons for watcumen to protect their
property I"
"Wo did not see how else we would have
protection. Wu oulv wanted ' .hum lor wuicli-
uicii to protect our propi-rty urn ! eco that
workmen who would tuKo the Homestead
scale and wo huvn bed applications from
many men to go I hero to work--wero not in-
terfurcd with. "
"Did > ou doubt the ability of the sheriff to
enforce order at Homestead and protect your
propurlyf"
"S'os , sir ; with local deputies. "
"Why ! "
"For the reason that three years ago our
coiiRurn had an experience similar to this ,
Wo felt thu noivsalty of n chaugo ut the
worMs nnd that a scale should bu adopted
uusc'd on the Muling price of billoU and wo
ujlcod the county authorities for protection ,

Wo did not propose this time to tie placed in
that position.
"I'liu farts concerning the engagement ol

but with nil others. wo have found that bo
ha been unable to furnish us with n snlll-

to work on our terms. As the Amalgamated
men from July I bud surronmU'd our
works , placed guards nt all the entrances

property and in order t < . protect our
workmen it was necessary for us to secum

we know of no other source Jrom which to
