SOLDIERS WILL
SHOOT TO KILL
General Goblin Proposes TO Stop
Insults from Miners
SITUATION HAS IMPROVED
Expert Marksmen Placed on FIanks of
Troops, and Anybody Detected
In Act Of Throwing Stones
vii Be Shot

Philadelphia, August 20. Having ex-
hausted every other means for preserving
peace and protecting the non-union men
from violence on their way TO and from
the mines. Brigadier General Goblin, in
command of the troops now In the coal
fields. tonight issued an order to the SOL
diers to shoot any persons detected
throwing stones or other missiles. and
that If any mob resist the authority Of
the troops they shall use their bayonets
and rife butts. The Panther Creek val
ley has been in almost continual turmoil
this week and the troops stationed there
have had difficult time in protecting
the lives of workmen.
Tonight the situation in that valley has
improved considerably and 1t is hoped by
the Milwaukee authorities that the law
lessness and abusive language directed
toward the soldiers will now cease. The
other sections of the coal regions are
comparatively quiet.
A mob gathered at the Dorrance col
liery near Wilkesbarre early in the day
because it was rumored tbs colliery was
about to start work. Tho crowd soon
scattered, however. when it was found
that the rumor was incorrect.
The general strike situation remains un-
changed. There is some coal being
shipped but the quantity IS SO small
compared with the normal shipments that
1t has little or no effect on the market
The fuel now coming to market is prin-
cipally washery and loose coal.

therefore directed to arrest any person
using insulting language, epithets or
violence towards the troops while in the
performance OF their duty. Have such
parties arrested and taken to your guard
