Hon. Ro'rsu r. F'o,rer. Erscuiirs CHAMBER. Albany:
Tho strike hers has assumed such grave conditions
that imperative in order TO protect life ana prop

Senator Mcmillan told the reporter tho facts

Mr. Mcmillan. but when wo explained mat

presence only OF 1000 militamen meant

others work. He said the yards presented o
perfectly quiet aspect at prosont. and wo
showed that was because the road had not
begun moving its freight with the non-unon
mon. Then. We showed him. the trouble would
begin. Tho strike extends from East Buffalo
to Niagara Falls. and involves the west Shore
New York Central. Eric. Buffalo Creek. and
Philadelphia and Realing roads. The Sheriff
plainly saw that 1000 or even 1000 militia
! men scattered over that area would not count
for ,barv vvnnld hA In Suf-

shed. a large force. such as the entire militia
OF the State could muster. would overawe tho
mischief makers. and by their very numbers
prevent damage to person or property. The
result OF the argument was the despatch
