FAR FROM A SETTLEMENT.

OHIO.
| FAR FROM A SETTLEMENT.
specfot Dispatch to The Tribune.
NEwARK, O., July 21.-1t was thought las
night that this morning would decide the quea
tion OF the strike in this city. The Railroad
Company have been obliged to acknowledge
that the strikers arc still masters Of the situa
| tion. -Four companies OF militia arrived durin'
the night, and were quartcrcd in the Company
car shops. About noon to-day one compan,
! marched out into the frcight-yard for the pNT
pose Of testing the disposition Of the strikers
1t was believed by the railroad officials that th'
! presence OF the troops would cause TIL
men to depart, out in this they wcr'
sadly disappointed. The officer in command
advised the men to quietly withdraw, and leave
the Company to manage its own affairs. Ths
men declined to leave, claiming they had
! COMMITTED NO ACT OF VIOLENCE,
and could not be driven away. Tho striker:
appealed to the soldiers sympathics by re-
hcarsng the wrongs they had suffered at tht
| hands Of the Railroad Company. That they
made friends with them is clearly evident. The
troops were soon withdrawn, and returned tt
their quarters.
The four companies here do not exceed Isl
| men, and 1t was not deemed expedicnt to ut
tempt the clearing Of the yard with the force al
| hand.
Gov. Yonng, becoming satisfied that any at
tempt to move trains with the small force here
| would be futile, at once ordered four companies
from Cincinnati aud two from Dayton 1t is
expected these will reach here some time dur
J ing the night With this addition to the force
! now here It is proposed to attempt the moving
OF trains at u O'Clock tomorrow morning.
| Orders have been issued to prevent all persons
| from entering the yards after that hour.
Whether they will be able to drive out tile
strikers who will remain there all night with
| out the elfusion Of blood is
VERY DOUBTFUL
The men arc cool and determined, and will
not he driven without resisting, and the opinion
Is general among all classes of citizens that the
militia will not fire on the men so long as they
arc not attacked by them. This belief gains
crcdenee from the fact that the men and militia
are mingling together in the most friendly
manner. Many of the troops have friends and
relatives in the movement, and it is not be-
1icved they can be made to fight unless attacked.
The County Commissioners were in session
to-day, and refused to make any arrangement
whatever for the feeding OF the troops here.
The strikers, hearing OF tho fact, sent conf
mittce around the city for the purpose Of rails
ing money to
DUY THE TROOPS THEIR SUPPER.
This was quickly done, merchants and business
men subscribing literally. Thus the militia
became the guests of the strikers
If the proposed attempt to start trims in
the morning is carried out, each train will have
an escort to insure its safety.
4 large crowd of citizens are around the Amer
ican Hotel Tonight, discussing the situation, all
OF which arc in warsn sympathy with the strik-
ers. Tic general tenor Of their discussion is
that, should the Railroad Company be able to
move their trains from here, it will be necessary
to guard every mile Of road from here to the
Ohio River. At every station on the road the
sympathy Of tue people is
WITH THE MEN,
which, with wages reduced to S1.35 per day,
with only three OF four days work a week, aud
total expenses each day Of work averaging 75
cents to 81, has caused men who are ordinarily
quiet and good citizens to become desperate,
and they firmly stand by their demands, quietly
SO far, but with f1rmncss Of purpose never be-
fore shown In troubles Of this character. If de-
feated here, they say
THE RoAD'1s LONG ONE,
and cannot oe enasaco ps alt Tue militia IN ohlo.
1t Is very evident that the strikers arc stronger
and moro hrm IN Their demands than yesterday.
On the Panhandle Road all is quiet thus lar;
but how soon the strike may reach that line is
not known. But that there will be trouble is
generally oeiicFcd- All freight trains are run
through here without stopping This Is done In
order 10 keep the traln-hauds from coming in
contact with tile strikers who, 1t is feared,
would induce theuh to leave their trains
