CAPPER WILL ACT
Governor Promises Troops for
Kansas City Strike.
Home Guard May Be Called
Into Action Soon.

Governor Capper will appeal to the
war department for troops if the
strike situation in Kansas CITY. Kan,
cannot be controlled by local peace
officers. In his office today the gov
ernor said he would not act except on
appeal from the mayor or sheriff, but
that action would be taken promptly
if troops were needed.
Home guard organizations will
probably be placed in action by the
governor Immediately following an
appeal from Kansas City and Wyan-
dotte county officials. Following the
calling of the home guards. an appeal
will doubtless be made to the war de-
partment for a detachment of troops
from Fort Riley or Fort Leavenworth
Thousands of troops accessible in this
state today gave little uneasiness to
state officials concerning the handling
of the Kansas City situation.
The Kansas City home guard or
ganization includes several hundred
men. These men. however, have not
been provided with arms by the gov
eminent. In an emergency tho, the
men might be given deputy sheriff
commissions and used in Quelling
rioting in the Kansas City packing
house district The adjutant generals
office was in touch with conditions in
Kansas City today and plans were
under discussion for immediate use
of troops in an emergency.
All national guard organizations
are now in federal service. For that
reason troops must be provided by
the government 1t is believed. how
ever, that an immediate order to
transport troops will be made if Wy
andotte officials lose control of the
situation.
