GENERAL GOBLIN
TELLS Of STRIKE
Declares That an Excited
State of LaWIeSsneSS
Prevailed.
SAYS VIOLENCE WAS COMMON
Head Of Pennsylvania National Guard
Informs Attorney barrow That His
"shoot to XIII" Order Meant Just
What IL Said.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE
nonunion miners closed their case be
fore the anthracite strike commits
sion, having presented $50 witnesse,
in the eight days, each of whom tok
of violence during the strike. Tho
lawyers for the nonunion men made
no reference to their demand for q
per cent increase in wages.
The principal witness was Lieut..
Gov. ]. p. C. Goblin, brigadier general
of the National guard of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Goblin was in command of the
Third brigade during the strike. He
was on duty from July 80 until Nov. 1
He said an excited state of lawless-
ness existed in the regions, that dis
turbances were numerous, that the
presence Of the troops was absolutely
necessary to preserve law and order
and that 1t was difficult to maintain
the law even after all the troops in
the state had been placed in the dis
turbed territory.
Conditions During Strike.
During direct and cross examina-
ton Gen. Goblin had several Tits with
Clarence s. Darrow, counsel for the
miners. The witness said when he
first went into the coal region with
his men, as a result of riot at Shen.
andoah, he was unable for q time to
get vehicles to carry his supplies,
teamsters refusing to furnish them.
In Shenandoah and in the Panther
Creek valley, he said, there was no
civil authority at times. Committees
of the union called upon him and as.
sured him the strikers would give him
all the assistance they could, but as
far as he could remember they never
gave him any help, nor did he ask
them for any.
After his entire brigade had been
called out, Gen. Goblin said. the situa
ton became extremely serious. and he
feared he could not cope with the
situation II It grew worse. He SO In
formed the governor.
"shoot to Kill"
The Shoot to kill" order issued by
him, the general said, meant every
word II said, and that the issuance OF
the order had a most salutary effect
upon the communities which his sol
diers covered. 1t had such q good
effect that 1t was not necessary to fire
one shot.
The order. he said, did not include
the shooting Of women and children
Mr.. Darrow called his attention to the
fact that the order did not except
them, and the witness replied that his
men were not engaged In fighting
women and children.
Right to Fire.
There was considerable cross fire
between Mr.. barrow and the general
over the right of sentry to fire upor
man skulking about the camp of sol
diers after dark. The witness finally
gave 1t as his Judgment that a sentry
has a right to shoot in guarding the
men in camp.
Mr.. barrow wanted to know IL Gen.
Goblin ever met certain coal operators
He was asked by Commissioner Wat
kins the object of his questions, and
Mr.. barrow replied: ITO show that
his relations with the coal companies
were much more friendly to the oper.
ators than to the workers."
THAT is not true" warmly replied
the general.
