| Harrisburg, Oct. l2.-The activity in
the adjutant generals office in con-
nection with the return of the troops
from the coal field riots has been the
one element of industry visible ON the
hill during the past week. This last
campaign of actual work for the Ma
tional Guard is again stirring up the
question whether or not the Guard
should be utilized for such purposes
except as a final resource?
The labor situation in the state has
assumed that condition where employ
ers and corporations, and even sher-
ifs and peace officers of the common
wealth, are disposed to call for the
Guard on the slightest pro location.
This puts the taxpayers to enormous
expense, and Il good many officers Of
the Guard are disposed To think that
1t is not the best thing for that or
pauiAation.
The purposes of the National Guard
: are, of course, to rcpel invasions, de-
fcrd lhr commonwealth, and protect
its citizens from every lawloss element
