Tonight, but there has been no trouble
since their arrival The troops marched
through the town this afternoon, equipped

Sary' but there was no demonstration by
either strikers or ympathizers.
-Four hundred union men in the Fort Ed
ward plant of the company voted in mass
meeting tonight to strike at O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon.
A delegation OF strikers left here late to-
night to intercept a party of strike break
ers en route from Wilton.
Nearly twelve hundred men are now out
in this Yicinity-sIx hundred here, three
hundred at Glens Falls and two hundred at
South Glens Falls. II is expected in addi-
tion that a strike in sympathy will be de-

Fails The men demand a 10 per cent in
crease in wages. recognition of the union
and no Sunday work.
Nine armed strike breakers, brought here
by the International Paper Company in the
express car OF a regular passenger train,
were arrested tonight by the village police,
charged with carrying concealed weapons,
and locked up. There is a general belief
that any attempt TO import strike breakers
on large scale will be bitterly resented
and is sure to provoke trouble
Twice this afternoon dynamite cartridges
were exploded under a railroad bridge over
which strike breakers must pass 20 enter
Corinth The damage was slight owing to
scanty knowledge of how to handle dyna-
mite, and tonight the damage has been
repaired and the bridge is under guard by
militia. Company l.. I'd Regiment N Y

the mills TO suppress disorder in case strikers
or sympathizers resist an attempt tc snug

Several small parties of strike breakers
nave been despatched from Saratoga to
the mills at South Glens Falls. but none
are being brought here tonight, and the
main body Of strike breakers is still held
there for orders
Glens Falls, \. Y, March 9-Three hun
dred union mon walked out of the South
Clens Falls mills Of the International
Paper Company this afternoon. and less
than five minutes later fifty strike
breakers walked in. They we're admitted
singly. through the company's office. and
not until they were safely inside did the
strikers fathom the trick, but thev showed
no open anger and made no demonstration.
Provisions and bedding are being taken
INTO me mills and officers of the company
say they will either run the business on
'heH own terms or not a all. even if the
mills never turn another wheel. Every
hour brings its small batch of strike break
ers from Troy and Saratoga by trolley
but they have not been molested or de-
tanned thus far nor has il been thought
necessary to mobilize the local national
guard.
Against the resolute and energetic stand
of the company is the united front of the
men. in the last paper strike two years
ago, the International Brotherhood of
Paper Makers did not support the Inter
national brotherhood of Pulp Sulphite and
Paper Mil Workers when the latter walked
out, and in the long strike that followed
the Sulphlte Workers lost. Now both
unions have Joined hands.
At a union meeting held here late this
afternoon President Cary OF the Paper
Makers and President Malin of the Sui

tive committee of ten to direct the local
situation. This arrangement follows that
