WASHINGTON, Jnl.v The I'inltrrton liiutluTs wen- given an opportunity I' i'\plain and dcfcml the working of their system bv the speeiiil committee of the lioiihe vvhleh has been en^nfred in an investigation nf the labor troubles ut Uouietitead, unci of the operations of the I'inkerton system.-t Mossrs. Hayes, Devlin and Wriffht, of the kni^htfi of labor, were prosent to wateh the proeeerltnps. Mr. Devlin Mild they hud prepared quebtlons they desired the committee to ask the 1'inkertons. Robert I'inkerton took the stand nnd laid befori the eommittee a statement that had been prepared. A synopsis is as follows

Tin* I'inkerton Stntfincnt,

The Btatemrnl rei'urs to the fonndlnp of the Pliikirton nKoiicy In IFW), uud TOUICB down IlirixiKh Its history. Kor twrnty years prlvftie wiiU'hitif.'ii tlaio ticen furnlwhwl tu prelect [iropurty durlnv strikes. These mon h.vfl |eeii selcuted carelaily to rcM^hlUty and character nnd they had fleldeni If'cn |wninttcd to carry arms unless with authority ot th. projwr lesal auihoriiles. l'lnk.

rton

men liad never wantonly

llfd a shot In any strike trouble, and only to proteci llf'.- When tlrst rec(uestcd to send watchmen to protm't the Homestead plant of the rarntrle company tlx IMnUorlons refused to do so unless the men should tie sworn In as deputy sheriffs 1»'tore f-'olnit to Homestead. "Wo wore then assured." runs the statement, "that the shcrilT ol Allegheny county knew our men were poinir to Homestead to Kitard the projierty of '.he company and protect Its workmen that the sheriff hud promised, Immediately upon any outbreak, to deputize all our watchmen as sheriff's deputies it it bocame necessary for the protection of lire and property. On that condition only did wo consent to furnish about 300 watchmen. A lari:e number uf the. a men were our rcuular employes who could be thoroughly trumed for integrity und sobriety. The remainder were mon whom we employed from time to time, or who wen known and recommended to us."

Arms Shipped trnni Chicago. The statement urges that the Plnlitrton men did nM go into I'ennsylvanla as "an armed force." The arms and ammunitions were shipped from Chicago ami were ordered not to bo plven the men unless they were deputized by the shoriiT. Asa matter of fact, the boxes were not ojiened until the strikers had opened lire and It became a matter of life nnd death. The statement. then says. "Klein had been murdered by the strikers and about live other wntchmen shot and wounded before our men boKiui to fire fn self-defense. Kvon then it wns impossible to attempt to shool those iirlng at the bar«cs because the strikers made breastwork for themselves by pluclntr women and children in front and tlriiifr from behind them Not a simile woman or child was injured by our men." The beattnR of the surrendered l'lukerton watchmen Is then dwell upon nnd robbery Is charged ujsin tho strikers. The clubbing of Connors and the killltiR of Edward are referred to and then tho statement continues:

Strikers Cliariieterlzed as Savages, "Tile acts of the strikers after our men surrendered would be a disgrace to savapes. Yet, becnuse done in the name of organized American labor, sympathy, if not encouragement, is shown for such Seeds by part of the press and by political demagogues. Wo iio not shirk res|KnsIbility for any of our acts In this or any other strike. The cominn murder trials oiiKlit to tiring out tho truth. Our actions will then be shown to havo been legal."

Tho statement further holds that it Krent principle Is Involved—larger than the dispute between ttio Carnei(ii) people nnd their men. The I'inkertons had no uuarrel with orgunlznd labor, save as it attempted llfo and detled the law. If capital cannot employ watchmen then it will be at the mercy of strikers' "organizations whose tyranny and despotism," says the statement, "exceed anything known in the history of the world. The societies intimidate whole communities by threats of murder, and are determined upon ruin and the destruction of property, If their demands, no matter how unreasonable or Impracticable, are not compiled with

Tho Moille McOuires, the Chicago Stove Company's strike, the Chicago, llurllnpion & Qulney strike and ottiers are referred to In detail as a IKIMS for tiie statement made In the paper that every lartre strike iias shown that these labor or^anl/niioiis will murder and destroy property out of .sheer wantonness and revenge, •riiktltv Their Action. "It was morally certain," concludes the statement, "from the threats of the men themselves that the strikers al Homestead would resort to similar violence and to nn attempt to destroy the proporty of tilt' Cnrnef'io company if any attempt were made to stippiv their pkicos by non-union men." The employment all over tho country by bank.* and private people of watchmen is referred to, mid then tho subscribers to the statement atllrin tliat their counsel assure them tlial they have violated no law, federal or state that they had the rlftht to employ and semi men to Homestead to act as watchmen that If they were rittucked, they had the -rlpht to kill If absolutely necessary for self-de-fense that they had the rlirht lo bear arms oil the premises of the 'arne£le company In order to protect life and properly, whether or not they were deputized by the shcrIfT of Allegheny county, that they hail the rlflit to ship arms lrom Chicago to tho rarneirle yards at Homestead for tin* jiurjMise of a in In their men, If they were deputized by the sheriff that in view ol the attack 011 thn hurtle* their men had the ripht to bear arms and to defend themselves, and Ihat all their acts In llritiK in self-defense lrom the burixcs after the attack on them were legally justifiable under the laws ol the Untied Mates and the state of I'eniisylvnnla-

In answer to the nuestions which had been prepared by the representatives of the Knights of l.abor l'obert l'inkerton replied usjfollows: The rinkorton agency owned about '.TiO rilles. about •UK) pistols and an eipial number of elnbs. and they were deposited in Chtea(,T. In all Its branehes the lirm never hail atone time more than SOO persons in their employ. The men umployeil worn advised exactly what they wero

to do and understood that they wore at perfect liberty to refuse any employment to which they objected. The men sjMit to Homestead were obtained In New York, Chicago and l'hiludclphiu. All of them knew the exact nature of their employment.

Tht) barjros wore not constructed for tho purposes of protection and were not lined with iron or steel and could not resist small arms. The men would never have been allowed to start on tho expedition if It had been known that they wero to bo attacked

before landing. The barges were employed because it was believed that tho men would be enabled to land without a breach of tho peace .anil the landing was made at night for the reason that tho sheriff's force had been resisted in the daytime, and it was expected that the strikers would be in bod. The solo desire was to avoid by all means a breach of tho peace. Otherwise the. men would not have been permitted to go tinless authori/.ed by the governor or deputized by the sheriff. The only purpose was to put the men upon private proporty anil then protect it from attack. The men would not have fired except as a matter of self-defense. It was understood that the Carnegie company had applied to the proper legal authorities and that tho men were going to Homestead with the approval of the sheriff.

Nay* Tlmy Didn't Want to Kill. lie thought that if the detectives hud tired to kill many more lives would havo been lost and tho works could hnve been taken ut that time, but not without great loss of life. Mr. I'inkerton stated that he was a sworn pcaee officer—a deputy sheriff—and he mado It a rulo always to swear In his men except in the case of railroad service.

Mr. Oates asked witness what lie had to say of the statement that fifty good soldiers could have scattered tho Homestead mob and that cowardioe was shown by the PinkertoiiB. Witnessireplied that he had talked with his men. They snid that they could have taken possession of tho works almost at any time before 10 o'clock that seventy-five men could have taken possession of the works, but they would have had to kill a number of people, men, women and children, and they concluded not to do anything of the kind. The first firing, hii men told him. was over the strikers' heads. His men were armed with Winchesters. At the start not over twenty of them were given arms and afterward arms were given to about forty in all.

Charge* Against the Knights. At one point In the testimony of Robert Pinkerton ho arraigned tho methods of the Knights of Labor with such vehemence and graphic detail as to create a sensation in the committee room. Ho had been asked by Mr. Iloatner If it was true, as the Knights of Labor and amalgamated Ironworkers asserted, that organized labor always sought peaceable means for settling strikoH. Mr. Pinkerton smiled disdainfully at the suggestion, and then bending forward and looking directly at MQSSIH. Hayes und Devlin, he snid "I havo seen Knights of Lalmr kick men's fares until they were jelly. I have seen Knights of Labor throw men oft the tops of moving freight cars. 1 have seen them knock men from ears with stoma and rocks. I have known Ifnlfhts of Labor to place obstructions on railroad tracks for the purpose of derailing trains. I hnve known strikers to place dyna mite under freight oars. 1 have known them to put explosives inside molds so that when molten metal was poured in It would explode. 1 charge these men with doing these tlitngs and I defy them here now to deny It.'

William A. Pinkerton was next sworn and corroborated all that his brother had said. The committee adjourned subjoct to call of the chairman. If further testimony touching new pointis offered within a day or two it will bo received otherwise the committee will begin the preparation of its report very soon.

SENATOR PEFFER'S VIEWS.

Only Three Wnya In Which to Met do nispilten Itotwern I.ftbor and Capital. WASHINGTON, July 8K.~Senator TVffer called tip his labor resolutions in the senate and said there were only three -ways to meet the dilliculties which now faced us between employers and employed. One was for the government to take its hands off and let employer and employe settle tho matter for themselves. This he admitted was unpopular. Another way was for the government to tako hold and regulate the rates of tvagos. This was regarded as unconstitutional. The third way was for the government to deal with these great labor employing establishments as it did with tho private lands of the people—condemn, soizc and pay for them. This he thought would bo regarded as still more revolutionary than the .eeond proposition But he submitted thero was 110 other way to arrango these disputes except. through thn bloody gates of war. Thereforo ho rocommended to the government tho first proposition: "Tako your hands off aud let employer and employed settle this matter for themselves."

Tho resolutions wore referred to the committee 011 education and labor.

IIOMI'SI TAI), Pa., July 21!.—At the governor's suggestion a body of police officers in the persons of deputy sheriffs has been pljiceil throu^himt the borough of Homestead to supplant the unlimited military control that, had been gradually established. The soldiers are now to aid the civil authorities, and not to be their superiors. A street, procession headed by the town council in honor of the chief magistrate of the borough is not to be dispersed. The sheriff of the county, or his representatives, are to be the ones to say when the danger point, hus been reached by assemblages of citizens, the men In uniform with guns iu their hnnds being no longer to constitute themselves, at will, judge, jury and executioners.

Must Mind Tliclr Own llimliicss. Except 011 call of the sheriff's representatives the militia in Homestead arc to restrict their operations to looking after their own business. (Jen. Snowpen admitted that he was aware the installation of the sheriff's representatives was Iiov, l'attison's own suggestion. The general declined to attempt to define the respective limits of authority of the militin and the deputy sheriffs nnd refused to discuss the reasons for the change in the situation.

The friction in the borough between the military and the people was getting uncomfortable when the opportune arrival of the sheriffs checked permanently, it is to be hoped, the indications of ugly temperament on both sides.

IIOMF.STKAH, Pa., July 2.1.—The departure of Gov. Pnttisun about, noontime was the event of Friday iu Homestead. His destination was the state capital. Just before leaving the governor slated emphatically that, 110 change had been made in the orders to the troops, anil that none was contemplated. If there had been any hopo that the governor would make a personal investigation among the strikers during his presence in Homestead, the expectation was disappointed.

Strikers COUIIM-I !*eac.

The advisory eommittee on the Homestead lockout has prepared a statement of its position, in which the committee signifies its recognition of law and other peaceful means as the only elements that should have part 111 the settlement of "the present trouble and pledges itself and the workingmen of Homestead to refrain from violence and lawlessness.

HO.MKSTKAI), Pa., July 2.1.—Increased aerivity is noticeable inside the big mill fence. Non-union workmen arc coming by squads of from Ujn to twenty by boat from Pittsburgh, uud fow have gone in unobserved through the town of Homestead. The number of excursionists and sightseers who come here every day and the presence of lien. Snowden's guards makes this possible. Something like :jr0 nonunion men are now inside the mill.
