might possess.
The passengers were ordered to
march out of the cars and line up be-

terrified at the appearance Of the
masked men, screamed and tried to
hide under the seats. The robbers,

cars and were sure they had all the
passengers under the muzzles Of their

After Careful Investigation Governor
John mickey Concludes Not to send
State Troops to the Scene of TroubIe--
Declares the City to Be safe--nringles
with Both sides.
South Omaha, Neb.- Disguised as a
laborer, Governor John Mickey, OF Me-
braska, mingled with the strikers and
strike breakers here, joined with the
crowd in a run Oh the Armour plant
ard fell back with the others when
confronted BY line of deputy aher-
ifs, and unknown in his working
mans garb personally investigated the
conditions in the great meat strike
here.
AS a result of his investigation the
Governor now refuses to send any
State troops to South Omaha for the
present He had been requested to
send company Of the National Guard
to protect the non-union workmen
who, it was alleged, were being in
terfered with when they attempted to
enter the packing plant.
The Governor, when the Sheriff and
packers had made the request for the
soldiers and stated their case, said
he would take the matter under con-
sideration. Then after having seen
the things the packers desired he
should see, he returned to his home In
Lincoln.
He donned the clothing Of laborer
and quietly returned to South Omaha,
incognito, to make an investigation of
the other side of the case. At an early
hour he was mingling with the strik-
ers, thousands of whom surrounded
the packing houses. No one recog-
nized him and he soon was hearing
the opinions of the strikers as to how
long the trouble would last, how the
plants were being run with non-union
men and what methods were consid-
cred to draw away the strike breakers.
Shortly after Governor Mickey ar
rived on the scene, the strikers sud
denly broke for Armours, where it
was reported an attempt to run in a
carload of strike breakers was being
made. The Governor stayed with the
strikers and ran to the plant Before
reaching it, however, the crowd was
halted by deputy sheriffs, and the
Governor stood in the front row and
watched the strike breakers, Of whom
there were fifty, enter the plant and
60 to work. The strikers attempted
no interference.
For three hours Governor Mickey re-
manned among the strikers and says
he received information as to how a
strike is run. Then he was recognized
by Sheriff Powers, who was amazed
at seeing the Governor in a working
mans garb. But the Governor quick
~ told his mission and then and there
announced that no troops would be
ordered to South Omaha SO long as
the strikers remained in their pres
emit state.
Things are absolutely safc In South
Omaha, and there is no reason to call
out the troops" he says. II know what
am talking about now, for have
seen and heard just about the whole
thing"
When Governor Mickey returned to
bis home in Lincoln he was still wear
ing his disguise as laborer.
