BARRE, Vt., May 8—Two companies of Vermont Nationa! Guardsmen moved into Barre yesterday to assume patrol duty today, when seven granite sheds will reopen for the first time since & labor “holiday” began on April 1. The soldlers were ordered here by | Gov. Stanley C. Wilson, who, however, said at Montpelier martial law would not be declared unless serious trouble made the move necessary. A third company of Guardsmen will be sent to Barre if conditions warrant, | the Governor said. In a statement last - | night he made it plain the military units were subject to the orders of Sheriff Henry C. Lawson. “Sheriff Lawson has asked for assist- ance from the National Guard and I am granting his request” the statement said. “His written application states facts that supplement several weeks of controversy and shows the reason for this action. “There has been a long record of intimidations, assaults and riots during the past few weeks. These events have occurred largely while no granite sheds were attempting to operate in the City of Barre, the center of the controversy. I deem the sheriff’s request is reason- able in view of the reopening of numer- ous sheds in Barre this week.” Girl Scouts Form Patrols.
