rAL.LAS Texas July 14 No or-
ders h?.i. bom issued early Friday for
movement of Texas National Guards-
men for strike duty In connection
with the shopmen's strike.
Governor Tat M. Neff. who was In
Pallas Thursday n'.a-ht en route to Ty-
ler to fiTl a sp-ak-.ng date. Mid he was
not geine to-order out tioops at this
time. Ai'ter reading press reports of i
message sent hv t-e.-retarT of War
" Weeks to railroad exe-utlves In Texas.
In answer to requests for federal aid.
the governor said:
"! am not in position at this time
to discuss the matter further. In view
of the stAte n ent of the sheriff of
Grayson county (I.onisonl and all
other things concerned. 1 am not prlr.g
to order troops out at this time."
Sheriff Boyd of Grayson county tele-
graphed Neff that State troops were
not needod at Penison.
Further than scattering reports of
beatings given two or three railroad
guards at different shop centers and
spiriting of some from towns and in-
stiu'tions g'.ven not to return by al-
leged strik? sympathizers the situ-
ation over the State was quiet during
the past 12 hours Penison reported
over long distance telephone early to-
day that everything was quiet there.
Union men continued to picket en-
trances to the shops and deputy United
States marshals arriving late yester-
day to guard railroad property were
Jeered by crowds at union station but
no violence occurred. One deputy Is
alleged to have discarded his' badge
and extended his hand to strikers
telling thc-m if given protection he was
ready to return to his home in Dallas.
Two men employed by the Houston
and Texss Central railroad to do
guard duty at Sherman were kid-
naped on their arrival there taken to
the country and beaten. They re-
turned to Dallas fcr medical treat-
ment. A shop foreman was reported as
missing from his home at Temple hut
due to no word fro-n him It was not
known if he had suffered violence.
Bie Four brotherhood members met
at Denison late yesterday snd al-
though no official announcement was
made It wag reliably reported that
telegrams were sent to their national
officers protesting ngainst the pres-
ence of United States marshals on rail-
road property th're and use by rail-
noads ol what they are said to have
termed defective equipment.
Railroad! executives and some com-
mercial organizations have flooded
Governor Neff's office with requests
for Stat aid during. th past few days).
Many citizens of Denlsorv -however
have counseled the governor agarnsw
such a move. .
With etate elections to be held a
week frem tomorrow. It Is generally
felt In- political circles that no action
will be taken by State officials in
connection with the strike until after
the first primary at least.
Shopmen's leaders at Denison were
said to be contemplating a mass meet-
ing to advise Washington and State
officials against sending troors there.
Apprehension was felt If troops are
sent to Penison due to the large num-
ber of men doing picket duty there.
The town Is practically supported by
the shopworkers and their welfare Is
aald to hold the sympathy of a major-
ity of the citiier.s.
