Trades Council Not Pleased.

The Central Trades and Labor Council
has adopted resolutions censurins the
Governor for sending troops to Norfolk
during the strike
Resolutions regarding the strike were
adopted. The sections referring to the
Governor are given here:
list We believe the presence of troops
in Norfolk was unnecessary, and is re-
sponsible for much of the damage which
has been done; that it is a fact that the
largest portion of the destruction of prop
erty and rioting occurred after the ar
rival of troops.
ed That the action of the Governor
IN ordering out the militia before all civil
effort had been exhausted to maintain
the peace was done in violation of our
State Constitution. and was action such
as does not mark craftsmanship, equal
justice to all classes, or disinterested mo-
tiyeS.
