Asked for an Extra Session.

Chicago, Oct. Six thousand Illinois
citizens during the past "A hours have
signed a petition asking President Roose-
welt to call an extra session of congress
to enact some measure for the preven-
ton of a coal famine. One method sug-
gested in the petition is a provision for
the appointment of temporary receiver
to operate the Pennsylvania mines which
are closed on account of the strike The
petition is circulated all over the city of
Chicago and throughout the state of IL
linois under the direction of United
States Senator William E. Mason.
There are numerous instances where
temporary receivers have been appointed
for the management of public utilities. -
said Sena or Mason, land which afford
ample precedent for action in this emer-
gency. Railroads have been thus treated
by the court on the petition of the people,
as can be shown by the record. 1 have
in mind, too, a case where u dispute be-
tween a municipality and water works
company, which threatened to deprive the
people of a water supply. resulted in the
appointment of a receiver until the
trouble was settled"

mob of fully 5000 sympathizers of the
Hudson Valley railway strikers paraded
the streets. stopping all cars as they
came through, storming the cars and
breaking the windows and cutting the
trolley ropes So great did the disturb
ance become that Sheriff Gill ordered out
company d of the National Guard, sta
toned here to dispense the mob. When
the rioters began their work, the major
ity of the nonunion employees of the con-
pany gave themselves into the hands of
the police for protection, but some de-
serted to the strikers. Four cars were
stalled on the switch, and all the win
dows in them were broken.
The trouble was precipitated by the
calling Of a mass meeting by the Fed
Grafton of Labor. This brought out an
enormous crowd No effort is being made
to run the cars, and it being evident that
the police were unable to cope with the
situation, the sheriff was appealed to,
and he asked aid of the militia. 1t was
thought several of the strikers would &c
back to work, but this demonstration
may make a change.
One of the nonunion employees, named
Curcer, of Brooklyn, left his car, as the

THEY ARE IN FEAR Of A RIOT
PEOPLE OF GLENS FALLS,
NEW YORK.
The National Guard is Again Called
Observation-Disclosures on Street Rail-
way on a Strike Police Were Power
less-A Mass Meeting the Origin of
Trouble.

Glens Falls, N. Y, Oct. AS a re-
suit of renewed activity by the striking
u ormen of the Hudson Valley Elec-
trlc Railway company, soldiers of the
national guard are again guarding the
peace of this town, and though there
has been no rioting, an uneasy feeling
prevails. The militia company of this
place which had been dismissed to it's
armOry Thursday last, was called out
again and is now protecting the power
house and other property of the railway
company in Glens Falls. A squad is
also gu harding bridge at Sandy Hill,
having been sent there following a re-
port that one of the canal bridges was
TO be blown up.
The riotous mob which held possess
ion of Glens Falls for four hours last
night was composed of sympathizers
with the strikers and the police were
powerless against it.
A mass meeting called by the labor
organizations to express sympathy for
the strikers was the origin of the dis
turbance. 1t was planned to have the
mass meeting in Bank square and when
]
suited.
Headed by band the, strikers and
labor leaders formed in parade through
the principal streets, the ranks of the
paraders being augmented by sympa-
thizers and boys who at first Opportun-
ity created disturbances.
The riot was preicpitated by the ar
rest of man who made insulting re-
marks to one of the non-union employees
and each car passing through was the
object of demonstration.
At Cool's switch, four cars were
stalled at one time. They were soon
abandoned, the non-union motormen
and conductors placing themselves in
the hands of the police for protection,
or DESERVING to the strikers. The car
windows were smashed and a fusilde
of bricks and stones hurled at the cars.
Conductor Currier of Brooklyn was
so badly injured by rough handling
that he is in the hospital in serious
condition.
Under guard of the soldiers the sew
eral stalled cars were run down toward
the power house, followed by a mob.
Ia the outskirts of the city, riotous
demonstrations were made and stone
, throwing INDUCED in, to which the sol
diers responded by volleys of bullets,
shooting in the air.
Further on pole had been sawed
in two, and falling on car delayed
