that the strikers arc guilty in must

Point to Law on Marshals
In connection with the appointment
during the last two days of marshals
and deputies, the following statute was
cited by officials of the Department Of
Justice, being Section 1888:
"The marshals and their deputies
shall have in each state the same
powers in executing tho laws of the
United States as sheriffs and their
deputies in such state may have by law
in executing the laws thereof"
Still further explaining the power Of
the Chief Executive, Federal officials
quoted decision by the Supreme
Court as follows:
$50 if the President or the Postmas-
ter General is advised that the mails
of the United States, possibly carry
ing treasure, are liable to be robbed
and the mail carriers assaulted and
murdered in any particular region of
the country, who can doubt the author
ity of the President or Of one of the
executive departments to provide a
sufficient guard, whether it be by sol
diers of the army or by marshals Of
the United States?"
