I'm an Emergency.

During the late strike on the New

In an interview, Gov. Hill said
the troops were not 10 be called up

The emergency hal not arisen,
therefore they would not be ordered

point at which there had then been
serious trouble was at Syracuse,
and there a deputy-sheriT had lost

The strike continued several

the civil authorities were able TO
