There had been no trouble of any kind for days and the troops begun to fraternize in a spirit of harmony with the strikers. Everyone was pleased at the orderly method being pursued by the strike leaders in their conduct of affairs. Gen. Gobin rose on Saturday morning and issued his order which was flashed like a firebrand throughout the Shenandoah and Panther Creek Valleys, the very heart of the anthracite coal mining industry. “ILL-TREATED BY MINERS’ WIVES.” When asked to explain his extraordinary order Gen. Gobin sald his troops had been ‘‘abused’’ and “‘ill-treated” by the striking miners’ wives. That, according to Gen. Gobin, bronght forth his order. In order to ascertain exactly what sort of a man Issued the shoot to kill order an Evening World reporter went to Gen. Gobin’s headquarters and {n- terviewed him as to the necessity for the action which he took A description of this leutenant-governor commanding the militia forces is not amiss. First and last impressions of Gen. Gobin are not pleasing. They are the reverse. In manner he is something like Major-Gen. Corbin, the adjutant-genera! of the army, except that he has all the gruffness with- out the engaging personality. Gen. Gobin is distinctly forbidding.

Gobin said: “Well, rows have occurred on cars in which my officers were riding. Windows were broken. ‘These foreigners have stood up before my men calling them the most horrible names. My men could not retaliate, and it was reported to me that the practice was growing worse. That is what called forth my order. The order was issued as a warning to the strikers. To awe them and let them understand what they could expect. “I want them to know exactly what will happen to them if they do not respect my men. Make no mistake about it. They will be shot, and the man shooting at them will shoot to kill. There will be no firing in the air. That is folly and only encourages disorder. “If the strikers do not respect my men as individuals, then they must be made to understand that as soldiers wearing the uniform of the State they must and shall be respected. The foreign element is not wholly responsible for the disorder. “What is there to arbitrate?” irritably exclaimed Gen. Gobin when asked if he did not believe arbitration could end the strike. “Who are you going to arbitrate with?” he asked. When told that arbitration in the general acceptance of the term would be between the operators and the miners, he said: “Nonsense!

Trouble usually comes when you least expect ‘t. Therefore I make it a rule to take precautions. Then if anything occurs I am prepared for it. “Many uprisings have been put down in the past by my men, just by reason of the precautions taken by myself. It has worked in the past and will continuo in the future. “You can say I have not yet ‘ssued au order as to women and children who do not behavé themselves, but if they do not respect my men some of them are likely to be arrested as an example to others to be more care- ful.
