HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. Ex-Governor
Stone heard nothing from the strike re-
gion this morning that would justify the
ordering out of additional troops. The
Governor and Adiutant General Stewart
remained on duty until late hour last
night. and hearing toward midnight that
Sheriff Harvey had retired and that there
was no immediate danger OF an outbreak,
all thought of sending troops into the Ha-
zleton region was abandoned.
General Goblin has enough troops at
Shenandoah to take care of any outbreak
at McAdoo or elsewhere, but an order to
send them would have TO come from Har-
risburg inasmuch as the present force
was sent to queu disturbances in Schuyl-
kill county only 1t is more than proba-
bic in the event of additional troops being
needed that the first and second troops Of
tile Philadelphia City Cavalry will be sent
wILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept 26--Col-
C. B. Dougerty, ef the Ninth Regiment,
kept in close touch all night with Gov
ernor Stone aud the Adjutant General,
so that he would be able to cali out the
Ninth Regiment without delay. But
last nights developments in the Hazle-
ton region did not warrant such an or
der this morning, and the men OF the
Ninth are still waiting.
1t is not believed now that the regi-
ment will be called out, even if there
is need of more troops at Hazletou-
There is a feeling on the part of the
State authorities that the Ninth and

into service unless the need is great
owing to the large number of their men
who are miners and strikers. There is
no question as to these men failing to do
their duty; they would do as they We're
ordered in a soldierly manner, but the
fact that they might have to suppress
their felIow-workmen would cause con-
siderable feeling. The regiments are
ready, however. for the call. and each
could be mobilized and under way with

John Gallagher. Michael Gull, and John
Brennan the three strikers arrested by
Sheriff Harvey at Derringer yesterday and
Jailed here. were released at midnight,
Their friends raised enough money TO fur
nish bail for them and sent a lawyer here
10 get them out. The men were taken TO
Judge Woodward's house and he accepted
their bail. They viii have q hearing this
afternoon and their attorneys viii contend
that the sheriff exceeded his authority in
making the arrest. The question of the
right of body Of men to march upon the
public highway viii be argued. The courts
decision will greatly influence subsequent
actions OF the Lehigh strikers.
The three men arrested say the march
was planned at meeting of the unions and
committee of seventy was appointed by
each local at Audenried and Silver Brook
10 go to Derringer and induce the men
there to stop work They were partieu-
larIy instructed not to use any force, and
not to carry any weapons, not even walk
ing stick. Each man was searched before
going to make sure of this and no Italians
were allowed to serve on the committee
owing to the fear Of an outbreak should
they become excited.
They marched in an orderly manner. did
not prevent the Derringer men from going
to work, and merely walked with them and
did their best to persuade them to strike
They CLAIM. that under these conditions
they have right to march, and their at
torneys Will fight out the case on this line
The strikers here are denouncing the ac-
tfon of Sheriff Harvey in calling for troops
at HazIeton. They declare there is no &C.
| casion for them; that there has been nc
violence, and the marching strikers have
been orderly and law-abiding.
A number of special police were hurried
to the mines about Hazleton this morning
and more will be sent as quics,Iy as they
can be secured. The men are offered $2.5t
| a day and board. The coal companies are
| engaging all of the clerks and engineers
whom they laid off during the strike te
