Middlesex County, applied to Governor
Werts for permission to arm the deputies
now On duty with State rifles, stating
that he believed the deputies, properly
armed, would be able to preserve order.
THE SITUATION BRIGHTER.
Governor Werts did not approve of
such course being pursued. and replied
that the presence of the militia would
no doubt end any further outbreak He
did not wish to act alone, and according
ly called the conference that was held
this morning.
While the military representatives
were behind closed doors, Sheriff Ser
vtss notified the Governor that the stu
alton had improved, and that he did not
believe i would be necessary to order
the militia to the scene

lack wages. Inc amount owed the woest
men is $2g,0Go nne receivers inforrnef
Governor Werts that they proposed pay
ing the men in fu1l as soon as praetic-
able. The Governor expressed il as his
opinion that even the partial payment
tof the men would do much toward pre-
venting trouble. 1t was decided to be
prepared for an emergency, however
and the First Regiment was ordered un-
der arms.
81 do not believe 1t will be necessary
TO send the regiment to the scene" said
the Governor. Sheriff Serviss will prob
ably be able TO handle the men easily

The Sheriff put twenty-five more depu-
ties on duty guarding the works this
morning. He also telephoned Governor
Werts that no troops would be needed
NOW, as he (the Sheriff had perfect con-
troll of the situation.
Two hundred strikers returned to
work this morning, and more VIII fol-
