Ottawa Plans Militia Aid to Halt Striker Marchers
At a conference in Ottawa the emphasis was on preventing strikers from moving between provinces and stopping a potential Ottawa march. Provincial authorities would handle interprovincial movement, while Ottawa would request federal militia not as a show of force but to protect citizens and property. City police would be augmented from reserve lists, not civilians, to ensure discipline. Ottawa stressed it was not prepared for thousands rushing the capital and favored small delegations presenting grievances.
