In anticipation of possible trouble
today when the mill gates open, the
police and militia have been order
ed to report for duty at S o'clock.
The strikers had planned parade

Four new companies of militia
arrived yesterday, and seven COM

about two weeks were dismissed.

Washington D. sCsrsJan. 2s.r-Sec'
rotary OF War Stimson, acting upor
an exhaustive report from the gen.
eral stan. has decided that no les
than sixteen. and probably eighteen
existing army, posts should at once
be abandoned Tin order to put an
end to the extravaganza and ineffic-
iency resulting from improper dis
tribution Of the mobile army u
The posts condemned are Apache,
Ariz.; Boise Barracks, Ida; Brady,
Mich; Clark, Tex; George Wright,
Wash; Jay, N. Y; Lincoln. N. D.;
Logan H. Roots, Ark. Mcintosh,
Tex; Mackenzie, Wyo.; Madison

OF Fort Apache 1t is said a posi-
bility of Indian trouble near this
post still exists, and that Fort Jay
might be retained as headquarters
of the eastern division, and as the
site Of the eastern military prison
There Is another formidable list
of posts, which while not recon-
mended for immediate abandon
ment, are declared not to be located
with view of securing economy Of
administration and supply, or a full
measure Of military effectiveness.
Consequently their garrisons will
not be increased and ultimately will
be withdrawn to such concentration
centers as congress may authorize;
these posts are Ethan Allen, VT;
Barracks. N. Y; Robin
son, Neb.; Missoula, Mont; Logan,
Colo; Douglas. Ut; and D. A. Rus
sell, Wyo.
The latter post is shown to have
cost to date $4,925,4S6. It is said
lot to be located with view to
economy or strategic ef-
ectiveness.
Secretary Stimson's report is
made in answer to a house resolu-
lon by Representative Buckley of
ohio, and inquiry has developed In
eresting information regarding the
'lans of the military stategists for
he future disposition of the army
nd its improvement.
By the concentration of the army
q eight posts, it is asserted. the
