stopped to listen, peering through the mist
toward the head of the street. Behind the
murk something was moving. The murmur
grew louder and became the sound of the
hoofs of many horses Gathering and slipping
on the wet cobbles Then the mist gave birth
to a double file of cavalrymen of it's own neu-
trail hue.
Out of the dawn they seemed to come, rid
ing slowly two by two into the sleeping town.
Gray slouch hats, sheepskin coats buttoned
over gray uniforms, were dark with rain.
Revolvers were strapped about lean waists
From the saddles riot sticks were slung
Police Headquarters

They passed in clamor of hoofs and
squeaking of leather, and the fog swallowed
them again. The State Troopers, New
e. Yorks rural mounted police, had come to the
aid of the stricken capital and the laws

''The troopers have been sent in" was the
word that came to Police Headquarters.
Bruised and weary men there grinned skepti-
cally.
"There's 232 of them, all told," they said
needed They'll last about an hour and
half"
Guard officers shrugged their shoulders
when they learned Of Governor Miler's de-
cison.
"It's just postponed" they predicted
Better keep regiment ready. 1t will take
at least that number to get this thing under
control again.
Estate troopers?" said the strike leaders
"Y-a-ah, the cossacks! Well hand it to them
too. Damned tin cops. They're against the
workingmen.''
All this happened more than two months
age One hundred and sixty gray riders are
still keeping order in ten towns where the
strike famed up into violence. There are no
more riots. There will be no more
The strikers still snarl at the mention of
the "cossacks." That is one of the tenets of
unionism, but privately they hail the "paid
thugs of plutocracy" as "Bill" and "Jim" and
invite them to dinner.
The troopers-"the dirty bums"- made riot
ing so uncomfortable pastime that the en-

were at work on the wire. The street was
narrow and the houses on either side were
high All at once from their roofs barrage
of cobbestones fell Upon the truck and it's
guards.
The crew of the truck scutted to shelter.
Several of the troopers horses were struck
and reared and bucked, while the crowd
howled it's delight.
Wrathful orders shouted by McGarvey to
the men on the roofs were met with yelps of
derision. Straight into the storm of stones he
rode his horse and halting, drew his revolver.
"Stop!' he yelled "Stop or I'll shoot"
"Gwan, ye dirty cossack!" one of the throw
ers howled derisvely. "Shoot and be damned.
Ye can't hit nothing"
The double bang of .45 answered the scot
fer. A foot to the right, foot to the left Of
where he was standing chips flew from the
coping.
McGarvey shook the smoke out Of his eyes
and lifted his gun muzzle in readiness.
''I'm going to shoot at the next man who
throws a stone," he beloved. "Now, go ahead
Throw em!"
The strikers on the roof tops looked at eachs
other, at their mate who stood dazed, per-
fecty "brac<eted" by the sergeant's two shots,
and at the horseman in the street below, pistol
in hand.
In an atmosphere Of almost Sabbath calm
the repair men came out from hiding and
mended the break.
Crowd Yearns for Action,
And Gets 1t
But the crowd about the car barns had
yearning for action. Opportunity was offered
them when the repair truck and it's escort
started back Prodded into fury by three
leaders, the mob swarmed out to meet the
horsemen, shouting to them to turn back
When the men in gray continued to come on
another shower of stones fell upon them
This time the gray riders wasted no time
in parley. They charged. A minute later
the rioters were scattering and the ringlead-
ers, who had wasted too much breath on
eloquence to have any in reserve for running,
were overtaken and captured. They were
arraigned and held without bail
There was no more rioting about the car

EFORE daybreak on February 9 the
~ latest of Albany's series of riots had
AA boiled away Even the most enthusi-
astic of the striking streetcar en-
ployees and their allies had run out of missiles
and invective. They had gone home to bed
with the consciousness of having had their
best day so far to dream of further. victories
later on in the morning.
For week Albany had considered each
day of the strike it's climax, only to be dis
abused by the still gaudier events Of the sue
ceeding twenty-four hours. The trouble had
begun January %, when the employees
of the United Traction Company, operating
trolley lines in the capital and nearby towns,
had quit in body.
For few days the strike had been orderly.
Then the inevitable friction between strikers
and their sympathizers on one side and the
police, company detectives and strike breakers
on the other had burst into open violence.
Trouble began in Albany While the fire
blazed higher and higher there it gradually
extended to neighboring towns served by the
traction company-Troy, Rensselaer,, Cohoes,
Watervliet and Waterford.

force leaking dixie No sooner was troubla
quelled in one place than it broke out else
where. There seemed to be no end to it. To
every one save Major Chandler and the men
serving under him it was evident that the
troopers eventually would be forced to call
for outside aid.
They have not called yet. Nor will they.
BY horse, by automobile, by rail- the men
were shifted from one town to another where
riots were raging. No sooner was order re-
stored in this community than trouble began
IN another Gradually one hundred and
sixty men through sheer strength of spirit
prevailed against many thousands of rioters in
ten widely separated towns The fires of in
dustrial warfare that had threatened TO set
all of northern New York ablaze were beaten
out. The men Of the states service have re-
stored order in ten communities with total
population of more than 100000.

VERY MUCH LIKE DUTY

thousand gathered in Franklin Square, Troy,
armed with clubs and stones and hummng
like an angry hive While they were being
harangued by their leaders platoon of gray
uniformed cavalry trotted quietly to the head
of the square and formed in line there.
From their ranks Lieutenant Nagell forced
his horse a few rods into the mob. About
him men and women ragged and threatened
He waited quite self possessed and motion
less until the .uproar slackened Then he
spoke:
"This square is going to be cleared in ten
minutes. You do it or we will"
He turned his back on the crowd and rode
back to his command The rioters exhausted
their vocabularies and lungs in hurting def
ance at the quiet horsemen waiting in line
along one side of the square. Only once did
their tapnts and predictions of impending ex-
tinction bring any reply.
In one minute" Nagel shouted at length,
"were going to charge if you don't disperse."
"Bo-o-oh!' the mob howled You don't
dare, you dirty
They charged
The rank of horsemen struck the mob like

rotersy before it. 1t broke them up, harried
them, chased them to cover In ten minutes.
save for broken hats and other litter of the
flight, the square was occupied only by few
men in gray, red-eyed for lack Of sleep, walk
ing their sweating horses up and down.

Troopers Save State
Their Board and Keep

The 100 men Of the state police who have
been brought in from rural patrol to the
strlke-rdden towns have cost New York car
fare from barracks and little else The troop
ers required this year an outlay of little moro
than $50O,000 for the entire department.
They have saved the state more than this in
the strike alone.
They have handled great labor crisis, in
which one slip might have spelled disaster,
carefully, firmly and tactfully. There were
100 horsemen, and the unruly element in ten

The troopers won because they were the
picked men of a great service, skilled in DO

last to the three great tenets of their COM

law.
These were the ideals that had been ham,

For several hours Albany dwelt in such
peace as its citizens had almost forgotten ex-
listed. The strikers were puzzled and little
awed by these strange men in gray who
grinned and replied. pleasantly when addressed
and who when hooted at paid no heed what
ever.
The crowd that had gathered daily for
week about the car barns to bait the police and
beat up loyal employees mied about uncer
tainly and gave way readily enough when the
horsemen ordered them back. By afternoon
the novelty of the troopers presence had worn
off and the strikers were ready to take up the
serious business of rioting again.
They found opportunity at 2:45 o'clock, when
a repair truck, guarded by half dozen gray
riders under Sergeant McGarvey set out
through the drizzle to patch up a break in the
overhead wire some two block away.
Hows and threats arose from the crowd as
the troop horses pushed their way through,

would have amounted to at least $15, 900

A Contrast With the
Old Way ef Doing 1t

The conflicts into which they have been
sent have been the dirty fights of industrial
warfare. They have killed no one and hurt
extremely few. Many of their own number
have been injured more or less seriously
They have taken no side in the controversy.
They have accepted favors from neither
party Their job has been to uphold tbs
law.
twenty years ago this May Albany had
car strike, smaller and less widespread than
the present. To handle this the state called
out two regiments of infantry. the q ard
23d; the home battalion of Albany and the
Sd Signal Corps
For days Albany was a terror-ridden town.
Street fights grew more and more furious,
until it was not safe for citizens to venture
out Twice the men of the Guard were
forced to pour volleys into the rioters. Two
men were killed and innumerable wounded
Terrible as was the effect of the voey,"
one of the Albany papers said of fight be-
tween Guard and strikers that had occurred
the day before, ''the soldiers represented the
only thing the people have to insure them
against crime and violence"
That was before 100 horsemen in gray for
almost three months on end kept down vic.

Troops Asked to Fill

In forty eight hours the handful of horse
men that the Albany police had predicted
would be eaten up by the mob had brought
order back to two cities and were keeping it
there. The troopers had accomplished the i'm
probable. They We're to be called upon to do
the impossible. The fires that had been
stamped out in Albany and Troy were still
blazing violently in other towns. WatervIiet
called for aid. Cohoes, Waterford and Rens-
selaer were unable to handle riots that burst
out there. In addition, sympathetic strikes
in Ogdensburg, East Syracuse, Tonawanda and
other far away towns created trouble

A Strange NerU Element
In Street Riofing

Day by day the street fights and the num-
ber of putative strikers taking part therein
increased. The riots were not of the old pre-
war type, faring up quickly and as rapidly
dispersed There new element of per
sistent savagery in them,. injected possibly
by prophets of strange new gospels from
Russia or elsewhere. Officials of Albany and
nearby towns watched the spread of violence,
first with concern, and then with downright
fear
Voices raised in Albany for the Ma
tional Guard. Regiments in New York City
received information that they might be need
ed in the strike zone. On February 8, while
the fiercest rioting Albany had yet seen was
raging in the Streets Mayor James Watt ap-
peaed to Governor Miller for aid.
So in the fading darkness of the morning
of the 9th the city lay waiting. Wet roofs
glinmered family in the light from the quick
ening east. A cold fog seemed to have spread
a great silencing blanket over the town.
All at once the footballs seemed to have
