ing, Vast damage tc the property

going on and others have also suf-
Tered. The fourteen saloons of the

Youngston, Ohio, January S.-Fear-
ing a new outbreak of rioting this
morning when a crowd OF strike SYM
pathizers gathered on the hill OPP
posite the YoungstOn. Sheet and Tube
company, Brigadier General John c.
Speaks, ordered the four Cleveland
militia companies of the Fifth regi-
ment to the strike scene. TWO COM
panies marched into the plant to re-
inforce one hundred strike guards,
and the other two companies patrolled
the opposite hill to prevent mob
from organizing.
Operations at the mill are entirely
suspended Three hundred office en-
ployes are marooned in the plant,
where they spent the night for safety
and to keep the fires going.
With three regiments of the Ohio
National guard patrolling the smoul-
dering ruins of the village of East

civic authorities expressed the hope
that the worst of the wild scenes of
rioting and looting which marked
last night and left the little city a
mass of embers, had passed.
One life is known to have been lost
and fully ten blocks of the town, in
GLIDING the entire business section,
was burned and several thousand
people driven from their homes The
loss is placed at no less than MIL
lion dollars The wounded are be-
lieved to number one hundred, al
though only twenty have been
brought to the hospital here. While
many have been shot, there are many
wounds from knives, bearing out the
statement that when the rioters were
driven. into the main street OF the
town they began fighting among
themselves. The trouble began late
Yesterday, when the day shift at the
sheet and tube plant quit for the
day. The laborers had struck for 25
cents a day increase in wages. AS
the day shift came. off they were at
tackled by those on strike for failure
to JON the strike.

horses and 4.665.0O0 mules. according to
figures just compiled for the War De-

Many Of these are lust horses' and
totally unfit for war service of any de-

gan 6S0.1S5 horses and lS5, 900 mules
have been exported.
There Is no way of determining how
many of those left are fit for war serv-
ice. either as saddle horses or for other
work.
Many horses offered to the department
fall below the necessary size; others
fresh from Western ranges are too wild
to be handled. even by expert horse
