A LITTLE UNPLEAsANTNEss YET IN coLUM-
BUS, OHIO.
The strikers have complete control OF
the G.. C. and l. G.. yards. They appointed
a ward master of their own and prevented
all trains from leaving. When the $3.50
mail and passenger train was about to
leave, the strikers told the conductor to
step down and out, as they had a man of
their own to take the train out. When
superintendent Miller discovered this he
ordered the discontinuance OF the train,
and sent mail coach around by way of
Xenia. The strikers made up freight
| trains and furnished crews to take them
out, but abandoned the enterprise. The
soldiers who were here Saturday went
home yesterday, and there was no
military or police about, the strikers
had everything their own way. They are
apparently good natured, and seem bent
upon no mischief beyond interference
with trains. The leaders of the strikers
were strangers believed to be rioters driven
out of Pittsburgh and other places, who
have come here TO stir up similar trouble.
| But very few of the strikers who have
been engaged in obstructing trains were
recognized as employees of the company.
1t is believed there would be no interior
ence with the companies property II the
meddling interlOpers were taken away.
There is no interference with the Little
Miami nor any other road The Baltimore s.
Ohio is not receiving freight for shipment
from this point, and no freight trains have
yet gone out Manager Caldwell made
application to Mayor Heilman for
police this afternoon, but the mayor de-
clined to detail men until riot occurred.
Gov Young was also replied to and re-
sponded by ordering tWenty-l hree COM
panies of militia. They will arrive to-
morrow when it is believed
