NEW Yottic , Doc. 3. At ths request of ih
United States senate investigating committee
too Uobart A. and William A. PmUortor
have prjuared a statement tn conncullot
with their tonlmony before the cammltloi
as to the uaiuro of their business nnd th
occurrences at Homestead ou .fitly 0 , 1SOJ
The slalemont wns civou to the press totilgh
nnd roulatns about 1'J.uOO words , and begin
by reviewing the trouble at tno Carnegl
mills iu Ilomo-tcad and Iho causes whic
led lo thu battle batweeu the Pinkortoa mo :
and the strikers on July 0 last.
Continuing thu statement , says that bofor
the PinUortou watchmen had started froi :
Now York or Chicago , the Ciirnogiocampatr
applied for protection to the high shurill o
Alleglicny county. Ho cot.cedod lhal h
would bo practically powerless to hnndt
such a largo strilco and to protect the live
of the non-union ouipiovcs if any attcii [
should bu made to send any such work mete
to Homestead , and even then Iho nironc
refused lo scud mon unless tlio sheriff woul
promise in duimiizo luutn.
Koforring lo llic state of affairs at Home
stoail at Ihu limo the watchmen were sent , i
says : "As soon as Ihe slrlko was declarei
before any Pimtertou men bad boon son
from Chica.ro or Now York , Iho so-callod at
vtsory committee of the strikers , took pos
session of Hotnc.st.oud and plucod picket ;
guards and sentinels on tlio different street
and roads and at ttio works. The advisor
committee virtually declared marlial Ini
und look possession and control of the pn
perty of the company. "
In sub.Untitiatlunof this , it quotes ntlcugt
from Chlol Justice Pastou's instructions t
, the grand jury.
Referring to tbo object/ the strikers 1
says : "Thero was only ono vital princlpl
al stake In Ibo contest between tbo Amalg.i
mated association and the compitty , namely
Whether the laller should bo allowed I
employ nonunion men. This Iho Atnalgi
mated association and its advisory comml
too xvoio determined to prevent , by force
necessary. Tno committee refused to ai
bltrato its differences , because Its official
desired to manage their own business , an
moru particularly because twice buforo the
had arbitrated and the Amilgnmaled nss <
elation tiad refused to abide by the decUk
of llio roforeo. "
As to the accusation of the strikers tin
the men soul by the Pinuertoti agency wet
criminals the stalcmont says : "Tho me
wo sent were carefully selected. Moro tha
two thirds were well known to us and ot
superintendents , for they were either in 01
employ at the time or had been previous !
employed by us as watch mon in simili
work. Wo full that these men could I
thoroughly misled for inlugrliy and sobr
ety. Tbo remainder were mon rocomiucnui
to us , arid their written anpllcalious and po
formnnces nro on llio in our ofllco.
"Mr. Powdorly. who Is at the head of tl
Knights of Labor , charged lhat wo otnpli
men of bad character , alihougn ho ttdmltli
lhat none of our mon bavo ever boon co
vlcted of a ciimo. His testimony before tl

sunlntivcs would huvo resulted in his coi
vtclion of perjury if given in n court of Ju
lice , and its falsity would have been east
shown had bo boon cross-examined by atone
ono familiar with the facts. "
Ttio bnlanco of tno statement , is ilovotod
refuting assertions made bv Mr. Powder
and 10 Iho history of the Puikorton again
so fur us It hivi dealt with labor strikes , o
ginning with Iho miners' hirlko at Ural

"Ihu ntlinctlvn feature ot this dcpnitrucnt
wns the fact that there was something new
to bu done hero. Under llio commissionership -
ship this oftlcu hns gallon Into n rut. In-
dcud , I was luclinml to doubt whether It
would bo possible for mo to lift It nut of that
rut. nnd for that reason I huittntcd about ac
cepting tbo place ; but I dually made up my
mind ill it I could nccomplUh something , nnd
90 I came noro. 1 have had , on the whole ,
gratifying success , though tlicro nro still
some things which I should llko to lluish up ,
nnd 1 have olhor things l'i view which I
should llko lo gut started and put on a good
footing before f leave. Of course , I came
ho.ro with the advantage ot many years' ox-
pcrlonco In public Ufo no small advantage ,
I can toll you. "
The secretary smiled * . no continued :
"If I had been a gruun hand I would have
had a good deal harder tow to boo ; nut 1
have buon in public Ufo twontv-flvo years -
almost continuously since the war , Foi
four vnars Ias complrotlur of our state ,
Then 1 spent six yours in congress Then 1
was governor for seven voars. Just before 1
came hero. My experience as aeongros ,
man und ns ono of tbo canimllluo on agricul
ture gave tno great advantages. When i
congressman eitno into my office to see me , 1
could nut myself In hU place. I know how
bo felt and what ho wanted. Perhaps lha
is Iho reason 1 have not had any trouble will
auy ono .slnco I came to Washington ,
< VII1 Itc-timi to the farm.
" \\hero am 1 going ! I shall go back to mj
homo Iu Wisconsin , to my farm In Vcrnot

among my own people again , to go back It
my own lown and sit. on a box iu front ot
Ibo sloro and lalk with the old farmers frou
thn country. A man can't know nnd under
ntnnd the people unless ho gees among thnn
and links with them. 1 llko to do that , ant
when I have tallied with some llitrty or foil *
of ono class and Hud out what they Ihlnk o
things anil what their condition is , I cm
form u pretty good idea ot the condition o
Ihu clas- > which thov represent. It was Ihi ;
which gave mo such conlldenro in the re
election ot President HurrNoa. I hnvo no
found n single man in the farming class o
people who was dlssati.llod with the admin

boat us organized labor , which votes as i

"I'licre never wis n case , " said Mr Buch
anan this evening , "where trouble was not"
sottlou lo tbo satlsfacllon of all parilos , "
B-il thocourso pinsuud on Thursday wni
dllVoronl. Instead of n delegation'from u <
single loJgo duslriuij the roilrosa of soinu
griovnuro , real or fancied , Mr Buchanan-
wns visited by it representative of each of
the thirty-live lodges of the organization , nucl ,
the doli'uatos bud formed themselves. Into
wlmt Utov called a boird of ndjustmont ,
"They came to mi' , " Mr. Buchanan said ,
"and prosenlcd a proposed contract bot.voen ,
themselves and Iho cotnpiny. I gave them
mv decision nnd they retired to consider It. ,
An hour later they returned and asked If I
should objuet to them submlilltig llio pro-1
posal to President Depow. I replied , 'Ctfr-
lalnlv not , ' and thiiv look Ihulr departure. "
This was ull Mr. Buchanan would say.
When bo was nslied what was thn nature ol
the proposition m.ulo uy llio board of nd <
Justtnent , ho replied evasively ; "They look"
tholr paper away with tlicui and 1 do not tc
moinber Justwhal Ihoy did propose. " '
The suporiulend nt then went on lo sa\
that ho could not sou tbo use of a board ol
atijustmont to either of the parties Inter
osled. Mr. Buchanan denied omplmllcalh
that the engineer * were compelled to side
truck tnelr trains for any protraeloil time-
aml that the men wlillo ihus Idle wore link
paid. lions positively denied that any tall ,
of striking was indulged in at the mectlnpj
and bald that llio rumor thnl , the brother-
hoed would unite with any labor organiza
tion was without the slightest foundation. '
Mr. Dcpnw was closolcd with several ol
the directors of llio company for three hours ,
this morning. Mr. H. C. Duval stated , how
ever , that no reference to the trouble with
Iho engineers was made at llio meeting. .
