Won't Send Troops
to Suppress Strike.

OMAHA. Neb., May 6.-Appeals
have been made by business men to
the governor for troops to aid in sup
pressing the labor troubles here. But
the executive stands firm on his
declination to dispatch militia until
the state of the public peace de-
mands it.
Employers fixed today as the time
to break the strike and the refusal
of the governor to send troops, 1t is
feared, will give the union teamsters
courage to repeat their acts of vio-
lence.
At noon 500 freight handlers in the
wholesale houses were called out.
Those in the freight houses may fol-
