Oshkosh. Wis. June 25.-The militia
had the woodworkers' strike well in
hand last night. tn death of a non
union man assault, &Thursday is re-
ported. The ca ua ties number two dead
and twelve injured. The factory of the
Paine Lumber company, the largest in
the world, was in operation all yester-
DAY with a reduced force and guarded
by soldiers. Headquarters of the militia
are located at the Office of this COM
pany. Some fear is entertained that the
non-union men may be molested away
from the mill district, and cavalry will
patrol the south side, where the work
men live. Four other factories notified
their men TO commence work this morn
ing Mayor Ideson has issued a proc
lamation forbidding gatherings on the
streets, and calling on all citizens TO
assist IA preserving order. Saloons in
the an ested district have been ordered
closed.

Situation Was Serious Yesterday.
The situation yesterday was more
serious than il had been. The killing
of 17-year-old John Morris by a non
union man caused an ugly feeling that
nothing but the presence Of troops could
possibly subdue. Plans had been made
for attacks on several plants yesterday
morning, but the appearance OF the
being carried into execution. While 1t
was said Thursday night that the gov
ernor had been appealed to, the APP
pearance Of troops yesterday morning
was quite unexpected The following
order to the troops was issued first
thing yesterday morning: You are ex-
pected to protect the property in and
about those plants over which you are
stationed In the event OF violence
which seriously threatens life and
property you are authorized 70 fire. But
before firing you are instructed TO give
due and sufficient warning"
Victims of Thursdays Rioting.
All the victims Of Thursdays rioting
except Morris are non-union men. one
Of them was a man 20 years old The
presence of the troops had the effect Of
greatly subduing strikers, but there is
no telling now long IL will last, and
even early yesterday morning some Of
the strikers were disposed TO be unruly
and were forciby ordered 20 dispense
The intensity Of feeling displayed
against Edward Casey. who was
charged with having struck the blow
causing the death of Morris, has con-
siderably cooled. There is no certainty
as to who did strike the unfortunate
young man. and it is doubtful whether
the responsibility will ever be definitely
fixed. Mobs followed the police officers
who had Casey i'm charge Thursday
night and there is little doubt that mob
violence in the severest form would
have been inflicted, but for the brave
stand Of officers. Casey is not under
arrest, but he was escorted out Of the
CITY hv the nnlice who know where he
