Albany, N. Y, May 15.-About a
thousand national guardsmen and
hundred mounted men, 1t was expect
ed, will occupy Albany streets today
and attempt to force a riotous crowd
to let the cars of the United Traction
company run with non-union men.
The Twenty-third regiment, of Brook
lyn; the Tenth battalion, of Albany,
and the Third signal corps will make
up the complement Of men. They
will be reinforced by 200 special dep
uties, 400 policemen and over hun

Albany, N. Y. May 15.-When
darkness fell last evening about sew
eral thousand weary street car strik-
ers and sympathizers went to their
houses, but they were replaced by
more, who took up the vigil to pre-
vent the United Traction men from
running their electric cars with non
union men. The darkness brought
some confidence that there would be
no attempt before morning to move
cars, for two attempts made in broad
daylight had brought bloodshed and
riot on such scale that the local
police. aided by scores of deputies
and Pinkerton men, had been unable
to quell the disturbance. %.
One Man Seriously Hurt.
One man lay in a hospital seriously
wounded, one of the two cars the
company attempted to run was in the
gutter of a street not two blocks
from the car house, wrecked, and the
trolley wires were cut in, several
places, practically crippling the road.
Near the car houses were thousands
of men and women and children,
wrought up to a pitch OF frenzy that
