STRIKERS RESENT
USE OF SOLDIERS
Threaten Serious Consequences If They
Are Employed to Operate Trains =
Expected Buses and Tram Car oper-
ators Will Strike.

LONDON, Sept. Unemployment Of
troops to protect railroad property is
being resented by strikers at some
places apparently through the fear that
the soldiers may be used as strike
breakers. Speakers at a meeting at
Nueaton warned the government that
serious consequences would follow the
employment of troops. Dock 1aborers
at Newport have threatened to strike
II soldiers interfere with railway men.
The Herald, a labor organ, feature.
what 1T describes as an 1sominous
movement of troops" and complains
that everything is done to give an
air of violence to what is peaceful,
lawful movements for better wages.D
Distribution .of troops to various
eenters with machine guns is reported
but there is nothing to indicate more
than precautionary measures to protect
depots and other property Attempts
to derall trains occurred Yesterday for
the first time since the strike began
Government officials have issued
regulations for price-fxing and re-
strlcting the conception of staple foods.
A strike of operators of busses and
tram cars was considered likely TODAY.
The executive committee of the union
considered the question at an an-night
session. Most of the members appar-
emily favored strike The meeting
adjourned for conference with the
| union railway leaders
The official Communique from Down

railway service was improving, more
trains having been run than called for
under the schedules prepared by the
companies yesterday.

STRIKE UNCHANGED.
Each Side Claiming Progress
May Call Troops in Illinois.

The inclusion of the Bethlehem
Steel company's plant in the
strike area has so far only served
to broaden the scope of the con
flicting claims of the opposing
sides. The ninth day of the
great struggle opened wit
mill officials issuing their Gus
tomary statement that more men
were returning to work and the
union leaders eountering with
the customary assertion that the
strike was spreading and victory
certain.
No definite developments We're
reported from the Pittsburgh dis
trict while the only positive item
from the Chicago field was the
statement from the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Co. that its
plant employing 1000 men would
be closed down within the week
for repairs.
Several minor disturbances in
the Chicago district during the
night lead to fear of serious
disorder and threat that state
or federal troops might be sum-
moned. In Cleveland picketing
was resumed and in Buffalo
few hundred men returned to
work in the Lackawanna plant.
