WEEKS AWAITS REPLY
FROM SCHAFF BEFORE
ORDERING OUT TROOPS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 14-Pending
receipt of a reply to his telegram OF
yesterday to c. E. Scheff, of St. Louis,
receiver for the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad, advising that he again
call on the Texas governor for pro-
lection for the roads property and
employees against attacks of striking
shopmen, Secretary Weeks was with
holding further orders today regard
ing preparations for the use Of federal
troops for that purpose.
Press reports from Dallas, however,
quoting Governor Neff as stating that
state troops would not be ordered out
to protect the roads property "at this
time" appeared to increase the
chances that President Harding would
direct the use of federal troops. In
structions to prepare a sufficient force
of troops to give adequate protection
to the lines of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, particularly at Denison.
Texas, were forwarded at the presi.
dents direction to Major John L
Hines, commanding the eighth army
corps area at San Antonio, Texas.
They followed receipt of a telegram
from Mr.. Scheff reporting that ap-
pealS to the state executive hdO Deen
unheeded, and requesting the dispatch
of federal troops.
Government Stands Ready
Secretary Weeks in replying to Mr..
Schaff, who was appointed receiver
for the railroad by a United States
court, thus placing it under federal
supervision, declared that 'in case the
state authorities are unable or unwill-
ing to maintain law and order, the
federal government is ready to afford
protection and will take action if nee
essary as soon as you have reply fror,
the governor"
1t was emphasized today that the
action of the government in this In
stance was taken because of its re-
sponsibilities in connection with the
railroad involved, and there was nc
official indication that it was to be
regarded as a precedent determining
the policy to be followed in other
cases of violence interfering with the
movement of mails and interstate
commerce, against which President
Harding gave warning in his procla
nation.
