PREPARE TO COPE WITH STRIKE MOBS Policemen Placed at Strategic Points Along N. Y. Trolley System New York, Sept. 22. Repeated threats of a great general strike to help the striking street car employes caused all branches of the city govern ment charged with enforcing the laws *to prepare to-day for outbreaks of mob violence. Mayor Mitchel's notice that he stood ready to invoke all the civil and military power at his com mand to suppress disorder was fol lowed by greater police activity and a. warning that persons convicted of engaging ln strike riots would re ceive heavy punishment. The police department told the trac tion companies that they could re establish night service as soon as they were ready under assurance of ade quate protection. Thus far 6,700 po licemen have been disposed at strategic points. This police guard includes a patrol of fifty automobiles and 100 motorcyclists along the most exposed car routes. Vote on Generul Strike Trade union leaders representing about 700,000 workers will meet this afternoon to decide whether to issue a call for a general strike. Some of the labor leaders said such a strike, if ordered, would begin Monday or Tues day. The call, they said, would be based on the ground that organized wage-earners should not ride in cars manned by strikebreakers. The early morning bombardments of elevated trains were resumed however, strike sympathizers lurking on rooftops throwing bricks and bottles which shattered car windows. Several pas sengers were injured in sixteen attacks by the police. The plan announced yesterday by M. J. Regan, of the State Board of Arbi tration and Mediation, to enforce arbi tration was temporarily abandoned to day and the hearings which he an nounced would be held Monday have been postponed. The question will be taken up, it was announced, at a meet ing of the State Industrial Commission Tuesday. Believe Businessmen Will Be Able to Stand Shock of European Competition New York, Sept. 22.
