"The men are deserters," declared
Governor Coolidge. "This is not a
strike. These men were public off
cials. We cannot think of arbitrat-
ing government or form of law
"There can be no opportunity for
any compromise in respect to either,
My personal opinion is that they
they would not be taken back if they
yielded to my view"
With the exception of the presence
of troops and the sight of many
boarded windows the streets appear
to be in normal condition today.
Governor Coolidge is commander
in-chief of the armed force of the
State, and is now head of the police
supervision of the city. Mayor Pc
ters of Boston has issuedsa statement
offering his entire support to the
Governor.
The Governor has notified the
Army and Navy departments that
Federal troops may be requisitioned
at any moment. The total number
of dead from the result of the strike
has reached six persons.
Plenty of young toughs circulated
about the city last night but the
State Guardsmen were so thick along
the streets that no disturbances were
allowed to gain headway.
Boston papers all are out of SYM
pathy with the striking policemen
and have issued warnings to the la
Dor leaders to go slow as they have
issued serious challenge to the en-
tire community.

HEARD AND SEEN
By EARL GOODWIN.

1t Is hoped that there is truth in
the intimation that whatever relief is
granted to the Washington Railway
and Electric Company by the Public
Utilities Commission it will not be
in the form OF a two-zone plan Of
double fares.
That sort Of a thing would do no
good for the development Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and it would be
manifestly unfair to suburban peo-
pie or those living in the second
zone, which would really include
some Of the largely populated por-
tons OF the District.
The Washington times., 1919-05-18

1t should be borne in mind that
the suburban dweller is, in a small
way pioneer Of development, as
we're the first Americans who went
far into the West and helped make
that a part of this glorious country.
In his way the suburbanite puts IN
with many Inconvenience and dis
comforts that he may enjoy reason
able freedom and health.

It's distressing to read Of so many
dead cats around the streets. Of

heart failure. Most Of them prob
ably were starved. lost, or injured.

In re the perambulating cat: Is
there any record being kept as to

the hope that they may catch him
before he has run the gamut of all
his nine lives. A persistent cat of
this ealiber deserves a better fate
than to reach the last and final fatal
hole. Might / suggest that when
found again that the finder notify
