A. despatch from Montreal, mays :-- Two -' wo companies of the 5th Royal Sonde were loa•lled out for motive service at Valleyfield to -day, and left by special train: about two o'clock. The gall to arms came; in the usual way. The Mayor; of Valleyfield wrote to Lieut. - Gal Roy, 13.0.0„ at Montreal, stating that the strike in the Montreal Cotton Company's mills had assumed such proportions pad the actions of the etrfkcrs were such( as to warrant mili- tary intervention. He stated that the strikers interfered with those work - leg, and refused to allow teal to be taken' to the boilers, and that the police of the town could not cope with the rioters, Elb therefore asked for two companies of militia, with, fall power to quell the slisturbamoe by arrest or otherwise, The request was duly signed by the Mayor of Valleyfield and two justices of• the peace, in accordance with the requirements of the Militia Act, Lt, - Col, Roy, on the receipt of the letter put himself in communication with Lieut: Col, Ibbotson, commanding the Royal Scots, whose turn for duty it was. Dae hundred men were called out. 7 t WITH FIXED BAYONETS. The situation at Valleyfield is very serious to -night. The town seems to be in .the hands of the cob, and;the sit- uation became so threatening that a message was sent to Montreal asking for the despatch of more soldiers. The arrival of the first detachment of mili- tia' from Montreal this afternoon ap- pears, to have infuriated the strikers, and a big mob of them gathered out- side the mills and started in to smash the windows. The Royal Scots, under command of Colonel Ibbotson, charged the strikers with the bayonet, The mob retaliated, and in the melee several of the soldiers and a number of the riot- ers were injured. It is feared tbatsev- eral, of the soldiers have been fatally injured. It is feared that the rioters will set the mills on lire, and grave trouble ;anticipated, MORD SOLDIERS DESPATCHED In response to the demand for s liars, whlala was receivedhere elec. 11 o'olook an urgent requisition w sent out, and arrangements have be made to despatoh several hundred m by special about midnight to the se of the trouble, The Montreal Cotton Company le building a new mill there, and the la- bourers employed in the preparation work for its construction asked for an of wages from a dollar to a dollar and a quarter per day. The company refused to accede to the de- mand because the men aocompanied it with threats of violence. They have succeeded in preventing any further work going on outside, and they are attempting to prevent the run- ning of the mills where there are some 9,000 employes who are not on strike. Last night the supply of coal for the working; of the mill was nearly ex- hausted, and during the night an en- deavour was made to get in more coal, The strikers, however, succeed- ed in preventing this. There are some 250 men around the mill this morning p;eventing anything going in or out. The result is, that being unable to gat the coal to the portion of the works known as the bleaobery has been entirely closed, and the employes are consequently throaam out. • DON'T WANT WORK. The Tower Council of Valleyfield made an offer to employ the strikers on the drainage works which are now in progress there, but the men declin- ed to accept employment from the C<.uncil. A meeting was held last night, at which the strikers still in- sisted upon being employed by the company at a dollar and a quarter a day, and they repeated their previous declaration that they would prevent the mill running until their demands were complied with. It was then de- cided to coal out the rattan. MARKETS OF TIP WORLD eelees of Cattle, Cheese, Grua, er0 In the Leading 1l arkete. THE ' STREET i#IARICAT.
