8 PAGES THE DAILY LAST EDITION i a DECATUR, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1907. No. 131 GOVERNOR WILL WATCH ACTIONS OF 'FRISCO STRIKERS 3OO More Strikebreakers Arrive Today--Will Be Fight To a Finish San Francisco, May to run cars today through the burned district will furnish an additional attraction in having Governor Gillette, Ad- a General Lauck and Brigadier General' Wankowski present as eye witnesses of the behavior of the men. The police will assemble in force and their ability to cope i any riotous demonstration will be closely watched by the governor and then he will be in a position to decide whether assistance of the state soldiers will be re- i to supplement the oC the local a i i to a i a i peace. The outlook for peace is any- i but bright and the defiant atti- assumed on bnth sides suggests a i to the finish.

SOO Arrive. This i a special train carying son strike breakers for the United railroads reached the city and were escorted under guard to the car barns. MUD? An assistant of President Mullally said yesterday he had several strikebreakers, motormen and conduc- tors, quartered in the company's barns, and that are competent to operate practically the entire street-car system. Mayor Schmitz said the police department is competent to cope with the situation. Chief of police Tinan said his men will preserve order.

Meantime the population of San Franclsc is deprived of a street-car service, subjected to the alternative ot walking or paying five prices for an execrable wagon service. Reduced to an arithmetical aspect, the problem is simply this: If fifty police arc required to afford safe conduct to two street cars daily over six miles of tracks, when no passengers are carried, how shall 200 cars be operated in passenger traffic over 250 miles of tracks i a total of only 700 police, not more than half of whom can be on duty continuously. That the i of two or three cars a day may constitute the ntlre street car service for a city of SOO.000 people for an idefinite time is perfectly apparent unless an adequate protective force is supplied.
