WASHINGTON, July 11 (Copy right).—Federal troops may have to © used by the Government to sup port the various Marshals and Depu ties who have been appointed to see that the mails are protected and in terstate commerce not interrupted. Officials of the Department of Jus tice, searching precedents to-day, ad mitted that a course of procedure similar to that followed by President Cleveland and Attorney General Olney in the famous Pullman strike of 1894 was not unlikely if the Marshals were unable to secure respect for authority. The appointment of United States, Marshals to enter the strike zones and that mail trains not inter. rupted is the first step, It is taken by the Department of Justice on the broad ground that the Federal stat- utes make it the duty of the Depart- ment of Justice to see to it that there is no combination of any kind “tin re- straint of trade."* ‘This is the language of the Inter- state Commerce Act of July, 1890, and in 4894 the Marshals and Deputy Marshals found themselves unable to cope with disorders and called upon the War Department for support Two regiments entered Chicago and thia brought an end to Interference with interstate commerce.
