NUMBER OF ARRESTS ORDERED

Strike Is Settled.
NUMBER OF ARRESTS ORDERED

National guard organizations from
Wichita and Kingman were today sent
to Hoisington to patrol Missouri Pa
cific shops at that point. The guards
men were sent from home stations
late Wednesday night and were due
to arrive in Hoisington early today.
There are $50 men in the two guard
units.
Calls for mobilization of the troops
were issued from Parsons by Adju-
tant General Charles I. Martin. The
two units called to guard service are
Co. X, Wichita; and Co. L., Kingman.
Both are units of the 18th Infantry.
Several Arrests Ordered.
State officials have been carefully
watching the Hoisington situation for
sometime. Local officials apparently
have given up hopes of handling the
strike trouble without outside inter-
ference. A number of arrests have
been ordered of men alleged to have
been engaged in picketing or charged
with intimidation of workers. Threats
Of race trouble also have reached the
state house.
Efforts are to be made by the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad to resume nor
NAL operation of the Hoisington shops.
1t Is impossible, however. to insure
protection for the men without addi-
tional police service in the shops dis
Barton county and Hoisington Off
cials placed the responsibility on the
state.
May Remain Until Trouble Is Settled.
1t is likely that the Wichita ana
Kingman guardsmen will remain in
Hoisington until the strike trouble is
settled. The troops at that point will
be under command of Lieutenant
Colonel H. K. Cassidy of Wichita.
No additional troops will be called
today. Governor Allen stated. The
Pittsburg situation was declared to be
sufficiently in hand to permit its
handling for the present at least, by
local officials. If guardsmen are sent
TO protect workers in the Kansas City
Southern shops at that point they will
probably not be moved for several
