GARY, Ind, Oct. 6.-State troops
early today succeeded in suppress
ing race and strike riots, which
broke out at intervals during the
last thirty-six hours. Four companies
of Indiana militia guarded streets
leading to the steel plants. Addl-
tional guard troops were held IN re-
serve at East Chicago, where Adju-
tant General Harry B. Smith is In
command.
Adjutant General Smith announced
that he had authority from Secretary
of War Baker to call for regular
army troops if the state guard is IN IN
able to control the situation. One
thousand regular army soldies of the
fourth division are held in reserve
at Fort Sheridan for strike duty.
The first troops arrived in Gary
shortly before midnight. They were
sent by General Smith on request of
Mayor Hodges. The mayor an
nounced that local authorities couli
no longer control the situation when
great crowds of strike sympathizers
gathered before the gates of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate COM
pany and the Gary works Of the ILL.
nois Steel company.
Local police kept mobs from
storming the gates until troops ar
rived. Shortly after the troops ar
rived, the crowds dispersed.
The troops, led by Major Lauden
Hartman, pastor Of the Second Pres
byterian church of Indianapolis,
marched to the police station where
Major General Hartman reported to
Chief Forbes.
The soldiers were distributed at
strategic points to guard against re-
ported plots to storm the steel
plants and drag out strike breakers
at work within.
Eleven arrests were made Turing
the night following outbreaks in four
sections of the city. One man was
probably fatally shot. Severa, others
were injured. Automobiles carrying
citizen police were fired at from the
sidewalks. Troops were also on
guard along streets leading to the
Inland Steel company's plant ut In
diana Harbor.
Adjutant General Smith stated
early today that II there are any
further outbreaks he will declare
martial law in the entire Calumet
steel district. He said he had a
proclamation signed by Governor
Goodrich and the secretary Of state
proclaiming martial law so that he
could make it effective at any in
he thought 1t necessary.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (e. a. m.).-
President Wilson spent a comfort
able night, according to information
obtained at the white house.
His condition this morning was
little changed, according 70 unoffi-
ciaI information.
I. There were no Indications that the
slight Improvement previously re
corded had not been maintained, but
the extreme conservatism in the tone
Of statements of Or. Cary t. Gray.
son, the presidents physician, led to
the belief that the Improvement was
not great.
~ Grsyson repeated informally that
he was not yet ready to pronounce
the presidents turn for the better as
decisive, although his condition was
considered better than at any time
since his illness became acute.
Last nights official statement
said:
1.-THE president had restfuI and
fairly comfortable day."
Heat of the past three days, break
ing all records for twenty-five years
for this season of the year In Wash
ington, was not a good thing for the
president, it was learned, and the
weather Sunday afternoon seemed to
depress him, but last night he showed
no III effects from, it, and showers
during the night proved refreshing.
1t became Increasingly APPARENT to-
day from the statement of those
about the president that his improve
ment Will be slow process and that
the rebuilding Of his nervous
strength can only be accomplished
by a protracted rest.
pr. Grayson, it was learned, feels
that his patient has made some prog
ress toward recovery, and believes
IL can be maintained. At the same
time he Is not willing to announce
that this improvement Is such as to
preclude a relapse like that which
occurred when it was stated the
"president is very sick man."
Grayson is obviously more cheer
full, but on careful watch against any
possible change for the worse.
Under no condition will Dr.. Gray
son give his permission for the presi-
dent to take hand in the "round
table" Industrial conference which
opens here today, it was learned.
Tho presidents appetite continues
to improve. His diet Is not substan-
taI, 1t was stated, though food is OF
the kind a person denied exercise
can readily assimiiate.. Physical
symptoms remain favorable.
Every effort is made to keep the
presidents room as quiet as possible.
Music from the Washington hotel,
not far from the executive mansion,
seemed to annoy the president, and
the hotel management was asked to
subdue 1t, which they did.
Mrs. Wilson, according to the
white house attendants, stands the
strain Of her husbands illness we'll.
Doctors say she is a good nurse and
that her presence soothes the presi'
dent.
Occasionally she reads to him, but
this is discouraged by DR.. Grayson.
The customary consultation by Or,
Grayson and the physicians assisting
him was to be held today.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-British railway
workers were returning to their posts
today, after both the strikers and
the government had made conces-
sions yesterday which ended this
country's greatest labor walkout
On many of the railway lines
trains were in operation early today.
In some quarters fear was expressed
that agitators might cause further
trouble, but there was no evidence
Of 1t in London, where the night
shifts generally reported for work
last night.
With both sides claiming victory.
the average Briton was concerned
chiefly with the simple fact that a
settlement had been reached.
Regardless of the partisan claims
of victory, the Briton recognizes gen.
orally that both sides conceded some
points and granted some compro-
mise.
Both retained enough to save
their faces" and both were plainly
conscious Of the terrible possibilities
involved in a failure to settle the
issue.
Under the terms Of the settlement,
wages will remain at their present
level until September 80, 1920, when
they will be reviewed in the light of
existing circumstances. The govern
ment will pay the arrears in wages
which were withheld owing to the
strikers breach of contract. The
government also made the conces-
sion of reopening negotiations with
the strikers after the premier had
refused to engage in further discus
sion until the men returned to work
The strikers conceded the readjust-
ment of the wage level in Septem-
ber. 1920, and granted minor conces-
sions relating to minimum wages,
The press was markedly concil1a-
tory today, only the Daily Telegraph
and the Morning Post emphasizing
that the terms were practically iden-
tical with those rejected before the
strike. These papers point out that
the addition of an extra six months
before wages are reviewed was a
mere "saver of face" since 1t is most
improbable that the cost of living
will fall below the 10 per cent stand
ard, and the railwaymen's minimum
wage is to continue while the cost
of living Is 110 per cent above the
pre-war level.
The papers are almost unanimous
in declaring that the railwaymen s
action proved the futility of a gem
eral strike.
