acted-POlice POwerless.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 9.-Tho consolidated
street railroad succeeded in getting the first ear
out at noon. Police had massed at one barn
where an effort was to be made and where 1000
people, including strikers. had congregated.
New men, sixty or more in number. were taken
to the barns. The strikers first tried persuasion,
and succeeded in getting large number OF new
men, especially Grand Army members, to re-
fuse to take cars out. As the first pulled
out it was boarded by police, strikers and
general crowd. Its course was down
Long street three miles to the principal
thoroughfare. The car was loaded down with
strikers on top, and was derailed after running
mile. The driver was pursued through alleys
and finally escaped. The second car was taken
to High street and was there thrown across the
track by the strikers and their friends, with
windows broken and otherwise damaged. The
driver and conductor escaped, one of them being
stoned. Police were unable to do anything with
the excited thousands who had gathered. En-
ployes of many of the largest factories lin the
city are laying off to aid the strikers. The COM
pany contemplates asking for militia through
the sheriff anu governor. meeting OF the city
council will be held tonight when some steps
will be taken toward revokiHg the charter of the
company. It is not believed another effort will
be made to run cars to-day, as it cannot be done
with the present police protection.
