Governor Considers Calling Out
Militia to Quell Riot
ing Strikers.

Indianapolis, Ind, November An
enort TO resume street ear traffic,
which has been tied UP since Friday
night by strike. resulted to-day in
tho serious injury Of seven strike
breakers and two policemen and the
destruction Of a car. y crowd OF sew
eral thousand persons. many Of them
armed with bricks. surrounded the car
and prevented progress, while a down
pour OF missiles from the roofs and
windows and buildings along the route
threatened the lives Of the strike-
breakers and police.
Indications tonight were that the
militia would be called out to-m morrow.
y committee Of commercial and civic
organizations presented a request TO
Governor Ralston. asking for troops
share the responsibility for tile action.
While Governor R;tlston would not
state what action he might take. he
animated that his reason for not call
ing the troops at once WAS that they
could not be modified before to-mor-
row morning. and he feared that the
announcement that tho militia had
been called for tomorrow might result
in a night of lawlessness.
\ new proposition from the striking
motormen ana conductors, in which
they waive recognition OF the newly
formed union, WAS submitted to Gov
ernor RalSton by w. q. Beatty. prcsi
dent Of the Central Labor Union rep
