Government Seeks Troops amid Pennsylvania Coal Riots
In Shenandoah Pennsylvania Sheriff Knorr urged Governor Stone to deploy troops to Centralia. Stone referred the request to General Gobin who advised peacekeeping with local resources. Rioting stalkers halted three non union trolley cars and worked to prevent a strike amid guards from neighboring collieries. Soldiers later deterred rioters and a number of workers on a passenger train faced threats to quit. In Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys quiet prevailed though soldiers remained on standby to deter unrest. In Forest City soldiers’ presence discouraged violence and in Lebanon a temporary truce emerged in labor disputes with a full return to work expected.
