88 Wytet Btetew.

WASHINGTON* August 21.—Ins structions were iuued by tiie wax department today to the commander of the central department of tile United States army at Chicago to have troops in readiness to send to Hammond to preserve order in the event that the Indiana militia is unable to

preserve order there.

The InrirucUons were lacued. it is understod. after Secretary of War Baker and General March, chief of staff, had conferred with Senator New, of Indiana. Senator New to understood to have carried a message to the army chiefs from Oovranor Goodrich, of Indiana, who talked to Senator New on the long distance telephone earlier in toe day.

In Event of Interference.

It la the understanding of tho war department that Governor Goodrich and Harry B. Smith, adjutant-general of Indiana, believe that the ten companies of militia that they ordered to Ilammoad to restore order, will be able to handle the eltuation growing out of toe strike of 8,000 employee o# the Standard Steel Car Company, unless there ahould be interferanoe on the

part of Chicago aglUtors.

In that event the Indiana offk^to are skeptical ps to whether their mtlltlamen will be sufficient in number. There are only about 800 mep In the eleven companies. It to presumed here that the federal troop*, when sent, wlU go from Camp Grant, Btockfdrd, 111., whefti It to undenitqod, several thousand regulars ^ ROW obcaramNl. However, to* place from which the troops will be sent is to be decided by the department

commander. — ^ Govsmor to Give Word.

Secretary - Baker has sent word to Governor Goodrich that the troops wta not be moved until toe Governor notjfles him that the state troope will be unable to control the situation. In tost event the foderal troops will be In position to move in a_few hours' notice. Governor Goodrich had a long distance telephone conversation today with Senator New, member of the committee on mtlltaiy affairs, in which Senator New notified tho Qovomor that If he found the state mllitta unable to cope with the Hammond situation the war department wouW rush troops immediately to

the scene of action.

There is no indtoation at present, however, that the Governor will find the situation beyond control of state troops.
