U. S. ORDERS TROOPS
READY IN RAIL CRISIS
Eighth Corps Preparing to Pro-
tect M, K. & T., if Texas
GuardSmen Are Unable.

hington.-President Harding or
dered Federal troops be held in readi-
ness TO handle the railroad strike stu
alton.
This action showed plainly the de-
termination of the administration to
back up the Presidential proclamation
warning against Interference with the
mails and movement of interstate COM
merce.
The troop mobilization came fol-
lowing a conference at the White
House between the President and Sec
rotary of War Weeks. Secretary
Weeks had just received a lengthy
telegram from c. L. Schaff, receiver
for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
lines, detailing the killing of a round
house foreman and other acts of vio-
lence by mob of strikers at Denison,
Tex.
Receiving from President Harding
full sanction for his action, Secretary
Weeks returned to the War Depart
ment and sent the following telegram
to Mai. Gen. John L. Hines, commapd-
ing the Eighth Corps Area at San An
tonic, Tex:
The employment Of Federal troops
agreed upon at the White House con-
ference followed the receipt by Presi-
dent Harding of a telegram from the
executive council of the shopcrafts
union In Chicago, reciting the griey-
ances of the striking shopmen.
In some quarters the order to mo-
Billie Federal troops was construed US
direct answer TO the striking shop
men and a warning that the full power
OF the government would be used to
prevent the strike interfering with
train movement.
