! WAsH1NGToS, July 81 IN incidents were
reported from Baltimore after our report
closed last night. Many soldiers were
wounded with stones. It appears that the
soldiers were slow in gathering ut the ar
mories, and Governor Carroll was finally
persuaded to call out the military. The call
was made by the re-signals. The people
understood this, and sympathizers with the
strikers gathered in immense numbers to
obstruct troops in reaching the armory,
leaving it, and finally reaching a point OF
departure. -

citement was terrible, and people in the
vicinity closed up their houses.
