DEMAND TROOPS IN CHICAGO.
EMPLOYERS INSIST on MORE PRO-
LECTION FROM STRIKERS.

Governor Expected 20 Order Out the
Mnitia-DecreAss In violence, but
Many WaEcnj weren't Sent Out BeCause
Of Lack OF Pollce-Can't Move Mayor.
CHICAGO, May Am imperative de-
mand for troops TO protect life and property
In Chicago was made by the Employer
Association following a protraoted meeting
Of the board OF directors held Tonight.
Whether the appeal has been made direct
10 Gov. Deneen or through Sheriff Barrett,
the employers refused TO say tonight II
Is known, however, that Sheriff Barrett
will not attempt TO swear In deputies should
he be asked by the Mayor 10 do 30, but VIII
60 direct TO the Governor.
Commanding officers Of the various
regiments located here expressed them
selves tonight as believing that Gov. De-
neen will order out the State troops. Regi-
mental commissioned and non-commis'
stoned officers have been notified 70 Do
ready for service at a moments notice.
Some Of the troops last night and to-
night held regimentAl formations and
drills at their armories Both officers
and men express themselves as ready and
talk Of calling the Federal troops, declaring
that the State militia is abundantly able
to cope with the situation II given an OPP
portunity.
There was a marked decrease In the
number OF riots and acts OF violence
committed to-day. No wagons guarded
by uniformed policemen were interfered
with and the number Of those protected
by private detectives and Of negroes who
were attacked was small compared with the
previous day.
At the same time the big merchants
assert that the police protection Is entirely
inadequate to meet the situation, as they
we're forced to abandon their plans for
sending out many Of their wagons because
they could not get police to protect their
non-union drivers,
Realizing that the arming Of negro drivers
Is arousing public opinion, the employers
are replacing them with white men as fast
as possible Some Of the State street
merchants refused 10 have negroes drive
their teams, and those driven by white
men met with little interference.
In the afternoon Carson, Prize Co.
asked Mayor Dunno for 100 more police
men to guard their wagons. In their
note to the Mayor they said that the police
assigned 10 them were doing their duty
as far as lay in their power, but that 1t was
manifest that at least 100 more men were
needed 20 allow the firm to mako the
number Of deliveries It desired.
The note was referred TO Chief o'Nefl
as were several other communications Of @
similar character received by the Mayor
- NhoN ha AFV,a col
all the men necessary TO permit OF CON
| Quoting their business.
Mayor Dunno Is strongly opposed 70 the
idea Of bringing troops to the city and
says he has not yet exhausted his resources
He says he has the right to call upon ever
male citizen over IS years Of age to preserve
order should such a step become nsces'
sary.
Noappeal has been made 10 Sheriff Barrett
by the Mayor, which would be the first steI
taken should the city executive determine
that the strike had got beyond control Of
the police. Sheriff Barrett has intmsted
that should such a call be made on rim
he would not attempt to swear in deputies
! to preserve the peace, as he has a right tC
| do under the law, but instead he will put
! the question up TO Gov. Deneen.
A committee from the Chicago Fedora
ton Of Labor left for Springfield tonight &c
| lay the strikers' case before the Governor
! They will insist that the employers violated
contracts in the first place by locking out
! the garment workers and also that they have
persistently refused to submit to arbitration
The committee will urge that troops be mol
| sent here.
| At the same time a committee Of business
| E,en is said TO have gone to Springfield
/ to-day TO demand troops Of the Governor
| The plan Of the labor men adopted at the
| meeting OF the Chicago Federation Of Labor
| last Sunday, TO have union men sworn In al
! deputies, got a severe jolt to-day. dele
/ CATION Of labor men waited on Sheriff Barrett
/ and presented list OF about sixty names
whom they desired to have sworn in as
| deputies.
Barrett informed them that he would mol
swear in any one in who could not furnish
a bond Of $50 900 as he said he would be hello
| responsible for his conduct.
