Pittsburg, Kansas. Dec. 15.--Na-
tional guardsmen, mostly cavalry
troops, entered the Kansas coal fields
today TO protect union miners who
wish TO work and who have been pre-
vented from doing so by the activities
Of large crowds of women, wives, rela-
tives and sweethearts of striking
miners.
Approximately 800 men were includ-
ed in the force ordered on duty, but
the entire guard. about 5000 strong,
was under instructions TO be ready
for immediate duty should their pres
ence be required.
In the event of further disorders,
II was said, the troops might make
wholesale arrests of women, whom
the officials accuse of responsibility for
most of the disturbances, but, as one
officer said. that would not meet the
situation should there be a concerted
action against the troops on the part
OF the rioters.
