Additional Troops Asked For.
, Additional troops have been asked
for and have been ordered out to quell
the strike disturbances. The first
brigade Of National Guards, including
all THE troops, infantry, artillery and
: signal corps received orders from Ad-
jutant General McAlpine to Gbe ready
: for service tomorrow under Brigadieg-
General Fitzgerald. The efforts of the
mayor to bring about a. settlement
, having proved fruitless, there is no
> telling when or now THE differences
between the railroad officials and the
strikers Will be adjusted.
The news that the first brigade of
: the National Guard in New York had
= been called out this evening CAUSED a
5 great deal of excitement and anxiety
/ throughout the city
: The trouble between the military
2 and strikers which occurred last eve
ming was looked on as the beginning
of a series of such outbreaks and the
calling out of additional troops
showed at once in how serious a light
the authorities viewed the situation.
The cars were run by green hands on
: the same lines as yesterday, but they
We're poorly patronized by the public.
IScrimTnageS innumerable took glaze on
a iall the lines embraced in the strike,
. but nothing of a serious nature oc-
: CURED. The men are being advised on
all sides not to resort to violence as In
{ many of the churches the clergymen
/, appealed to them to be quiet and law
: abiding.
1 Martin J. Connolly, one of the eXecu-
5 tive body who has conducted the strike,
J. when questioned as to what action the
t Central Labor union might take IN ref
l erence to the movement, replied:
THAT body sent committee here to-
day and rendered US their full moral
: and financial support"
! The police captains held another con-
ference this evening. They discussed
THE situation and made arranger3e nts
! for placing the police force on the Off
I ferent lines tomorrow.
