New York, Nov. 2.-The prospect Federal troops in control of every mail wagon in New York City, devel- oped, today. Valentine Hoffman, first vice-president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, announced that if a general teamsters strike is called, tomorrow night, the mail wag- on drivers will also be called out This would mean, Hoffman declared, that the government would call upon Federal troops to man the mail wag- Ons.
 '"The mail wagon drivers are union ized to a man." Hoffman said, and will respond to the call to strike.
 Hoffman and William H. Ashton are the committee named by the str1k- ing teamsters to decide upon the ad- visibility of a general strike. Ashton, who is general manager of the Inter- national Teamsters' Union, said:
 we want to settle this strike peace ably and immediately, if we can. We do not want to extend it. But the arrogant manner in which the of ficials of the express companies re- fuse to treat with thels employees may make it necessary for us to tie up every wheel in this city. We will try today, and tomorrow, to settle the strike. If we can, we'll and good. If not, we will report to the general meeting of all of the union locals, tomorrow night, that a general strike should be ordered forthwith. And 1t
