 Tn certain portions of the counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Lacka- wanna, Susquehanna, Northumberland and Columbia, tumults and riots fre- quently occur, and mob law reigns. Men who desire to work have been beaten and driven away and their fam lilies threatened. Railroad trains have | been delayed, stoned and the tracks | torn up, the civil authorities are unable to maintain order and have called upon | the governor and commander-in-chief of the national guard for troops. The situation grows more serious each day. The territory involved is so extensive that the troops now on duty are insuf- ficient to prevent all disorder. The presence of the entire division National Guard of Pennsylvania is necessary in these counties to maintain the public peace.
 "The major general commanding will place the entire division on duty dis tributing them in such localities as will render them most effective for pre- serving the public peace.
 "As tumults, riots, mobs and disor- der usually occur when men attempt to lwork in and about coal mines, he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have military pro-
 tection. He will protect all trains and
 other property from unlawful interfer-
 ence and will arrest all persons engag- ing in acts of violence and intimidation
 and hold them under guard until theii
 release will not endanger the public
 peace: will see that threats, intimida'
 tions&and all acts of violence cease al
 once The public peace and good order
 will be preserved upon all occasions
 and throughout the several counties
 and no interference whatever will b'
 permitted with officers and men in th'
