INDIANAPOLIS lud.. FEB. S0.-Iho
street car strike situation has not yet

appear to be ~ determined as on tho

continues to make its daily effort TO
run cars. and To fail on account OF the
refusal Of the city authorities 10 DIS
perse the crowds which gather 1t the
barns and take possession OF the cars
the moment they are started out. This
morning the crowd OF idlers at the
Louisiana street barn was much larger
than on any previous morning and
promptly took possession OF the mule
car that was started out. Police Sup
erintendent Colbert was again appealed
to, and again reiterated that he had
nothing to say. The company claims
to have plenty OF men to run cars
whenever police protection 10 fur
nished. The business of the city 10
paralyzed. and the public is nearing
the point where patience will no longer
endure. The sentiment that the thing
must end is gaining ground hourly.
