GENERAL ROE'S PLANS

Major-General Charles F. Roe, commanding
the National Guard of the State, after a confer
ence with Sheriff Moloy and representatives Of
the contracting firm of Coleman, Breuchaud e.
Coleman. yesterday afternoon officially called out
four organizations OF militia TO proceed at day
break TO Croton Dam. This act was especially
urged by the contractors. They said that they
feared that the present force of deputies at the
dam was insufficient in case OF "a riot and that
the demonstration Of Saturday was enough to
show that the strikers meant to use violence if
necessary TO attain their ends Sheriff Mollov
was in the same frame OF mind and he too
strongly recommended that his force of deputies
be reinforced.
General Roe said to Tribune reporter after
the conference:
betWeen nve hundred and six hundred rnen will
ee sent 10 the scene of Saturdays disturba nee ar
aayDreak to morrow. There will be a force of in

DEPL ORES SENDING TROOPS.
CONSUL-GENERAL BRANC4I SAYS THERE
WILL BE TROUBLE IF NEW
MEN ARE BROUGHT

Giovanni Branchi, the Italian Consul General
depores the sending of troops to the scene of the
strike. Having failed in his mission to the
office of the contractors at Croton Dam on Sat
urday, when he asked that some compromise
be made, he was again busy yesterday in his
endeavor to bring about reconciliation.
This parade of soldiery," he said to a Trib-
une correspondent yesterday at the Lotos Club
will result in some evil. 1t is not troops that
are needed. 1t is the clemency Of the contrac-
tors. L am now thoroughly convinced that the
wages which they have been paying some of
their men are based a starvation schedule"
The Consul-General here waited a moment as
II to add emphasis to his remark, and then said:
Fifteen more dollars day paid out by the con-
tractors in wages would settle the whole difficulty.
But these men resist. They refuse make any
eSncesson cor ,a6 asked @ them 10 pay 81 2sa day to
before, but they would not listen TO this PROPOSE
ton.
The original demand of the strikers was for 81 30
"a day nstead e Of 81 2 but The the strikers are willing
day for 100 men would amount to how much?
Fifteen dollars. Is that not rather low price for
lars and the happiness of seven hundred people?
These strikers are utterly helpless. They
without money. and some without food. do not
believe they will use violence unless laborers
makes little difference whether there are cavalry
or or foot o soldiers There will be trouble and lots
quer, but l fear for the final consequences.
You do not mean that there will be any inter
national complications resulting from the use of
force?' was asked.
That 1 cannot say at this time" the
answer. The arrnistice of to-day, which the
strikers pledged me that they would maintain
has been maintained. This is due in large part
l believe, to the fact that no troops sent up
there to-day. In order that none should be sent
l sent telegram to Sheriff MOloy last night.
The reason of this sudden movement tomorrow
morning L cannot fathom, unless the contracting
firm has decided to begin work in earnest
The story that the Italians in the gulch had
dynamite all ready for last Saturday I still
consider as utter bOsh The deputies at first
made a great hUrrah about it and said that
troops were needed to combat such internal
tactics. To show them that the whole story was
pure fancy offered to go in the company of one
or two deputies to all the huts in the village and
pound the floors and walls with sledge ham,
mer When they saw / was in earnest they did
not say anything more about dynamite"
The Consul-General will go tomorrow morning
10 Croton Dam. He will again confer with Sup
erintendent Goldsborough and the leaders of the
strikers

TROOPS MAKING READY TO START.

Captain Schneider, Of Company B. formerly
the Eleventh Separate Company, OF the 1st Regi-
ment which is at Mount Vernon received orders
last night over the telephone from Major Roe to
summon his command together and be prepared
to leave the arpory at $50 o'clock this
ing for Croton Dam. Schneider at once dis
patched Corporals Watts and Anderson to warn
the men of the company. The corporas drove
about the city telling the mlitiamen to report at
the armory for service at o'clock this morn
ing. Mayor Edwin w. Fiske. who is first lieu
tenant of Company B, will be to go to Croton
with his men. The Mayor has just been
nominated by the Democrats. The cooking uten-
sils and tents which the company will take with
them being placed in readiness last night.
This is the first time in the history of the COM
pany that it has been called out to pre-
serve order at strike
Sheriff MollOy last evening sent word to Cap
tain Pruyn. of the Yonkers company to proceed
to CrOton Dam to-day, there to guard property
and preserve the peace AS soon as the order
was received Captain Pruyn set in motion the
usual machinery for the warning of his officers
and men to be on hand at the armory not later
than o'clock this morning.
AS the order received many of the
men hurried to the armory and began TO aid in
breaking out the field equipment and overhaul
ing the different stores and getting the outfits in
shape. The work carried on all night until
everything was in perfect readiness.

doubled in fifteen years aud increased over SO per

The steady increase in expectations is the more
remarkable in view of the fact that exports of
agricultural products are only about the

the notable increase than 500 O0G00 in the
nine months in question being largely in manu-
