PHILADELPHIA. July ia memo
rial, asking for the impeachment Of At
torney General Olney has been prepared
by the Executive Board of the Knights
OF Labor for presentation to Congress.
1t will be circulated all over the coun-

The memorial declares that Richard
Olney has been guilty OF high crimes
and misdemeanors, subjecting him to
impeachment and removal from office.
The crimes consist in his advice to the
President to introduce Federal troops
into Illinois and other States, when they
had not been asked for by State author
tiles, and, in fact. against the earnest
protest OF certain Governors.
As a result of this advice United
States soldiers have nred upon and
killed citizens OF several States with
out lawful or sufficient cause.
Mr.. Olney Is also charged with en-
couragins the Pullman Company in the
stand 1t has taken against arbitration.

STRIKERS TOOK GOOD ADVICE.
,By Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Cal. July 1.-THE
trouble is practically over here. and
there is no civil war.
Yesterday afternoon and evening there
was every indication that the Federal
troops would not come to Sacramento
without a fierce battle. The strikers
had their guns ready. and their picked
fighters were in possession. They had
a cannon, and were loud In their determi-
nation not to let the regular troops into
the depot.
Along the levee wern strung men with
rifles, apparently sharpshooters, 10 rake
the soldiery as the poat passed. The
strike leaders were reticent and anxious.
This morning all Is changed. The
striker leaders have gone to bed. There
are only few of the strikers on guard
in the depot, and the men generally say
the regulars will not be opposed unless
they try to move Pullman cars, when
they will be treated roughly.
Before going home, the leaders Of the
strike spoke freely, pleasantly and
peaceably. The whole atmosphere had
changed. and those who had expected
to see Sacramento in flames this morning.
with miscellaneous disaster all along the
railroad, went to their homes without
misgivings.
Sacramento IL, Of course. under martial
law. though thus far 1t has not altered
things In any way. The printed notices
that are posted in public places and dis
tributed on the streets got to be an old
story in few minutes. Nobody knew
exactly what was implied by the phrase
martial law
1t is probable that the change Is due in
large degree to an opinion written at the
request Of the Mediation Committee by
ex-AttorneyGene Hart, defining the
rights and responsibilities of the strik-
ers, and informing them that to resist
troops Is treason.
The opinion says in part: 1T cannot
be denied that as resistance to the law
and the authority of the United States
would be treason against the Govern
ment which would not receive the sup
port of the large majority Of citizens
who sympathize with your cause, 1 ad
wise you not to permit yourselves in
these times Of danger to attempt dis
order and devotion to your cause to
entangle you in a conflict with the
armies Of the Federal Government;
may not induce any of the men who are
| now banded together in labor organiza-
tions In this city to commit any act
which may under any circumstances be
| denounced as criminal"
Harry Knox. Chairman OF the Com
| mittee on Mediation, said late last night
| that the strikers would abide by the
| opinion of their attorney by making nc
| resistance to the troops.
Troops in Possession.
