Wtlkesbarre, Penn. oct 9-Numerous out

OF ten thousand troops in the region. nave con-
Vlnced the operators that the National Guard is
not sufhcient TO protect the coIIieries and guard
the men who want TO work Tomorrow, it is
said, request viii be made for federal troops.
The government will be asked for enough men
10 protect the houses of the workmen and to
escort the men TO and from the mines What
action Governor Stone will take on such a re-
quest is mere conjecture now but the operators
believe that having started TO stop violence. he
will not hesitate to ask for the federal troops as
the lawlessness continues. The operators, it is
understood, will use the list of outbursts to-day
as their best argument.
The most important of these are the shooting
of striker who refused TO obey sentry's order
at Shenandoah, the dynamting of a train
the Lehigh Valley road near this city, the
wrecking of train near Lattimer. the dyna-
miting of the bridge at Tuscarora. and attacks

ton coreries. in which they were severely
beaten Strikers bearing thousand rounds
Of ammunition were arrested at Jessup. and it is
known that strikers have rifles hidden in that
vicinity. Anarchistie notices were posted at
Duryea suggesting murder, and threats were
made by strikers at Shamokin against men who

the roads indicated the general condition OF rest
Iessness and readiness for lawless deeds.
