are beaten now. The town is peace
ful and orderly, the militia are in
ull control, and they can be kept on
duty until new force can be re-
cruited and trained. AS pointed out
yesterday since this new force would
be recruited almost entirely from war
veterans it might be whipped into
shape very quickly
Thus the police themselves are
helpless unless organized labor gen
orally backs them up with general
strike.
Last night such a situation was re-
garded as inevitable and the whole
city felt grave fear of complete dis
ruption of it's ordinary functions. To
night such an issue seems much less
probable. The failure of the Central
Labor Union after last nights meet
ing to announce general strike is
regarded as proof that the majority OF
the delegates refused to vote for such
a strike,
