night
To Turn to Traction Strike
1t could not be learned tonight that
the city government has made any re-
quest for the use of troops. Although
the Governor and Mayor Thompson held
conference to-day, it was announced
that the Mayor believed the improve

permit him TO turn his attention to
the traction strike.

operating heartily said the Governor
at the conclusion of the conference,
"and shall continue to do so, keeping in
close touch with each other. We are
working together TO bring the forces
OF law and order into CONTROL
