without Just and due consideration to

more than one. THE Dazzler" started
on it's career two years ago in New York,
and achieved such a positive triumph
that il played no less than seven metro
politan ENGAGEMENTS in one season It's
two successive tours of the country made
such an enviable record Of success that

UP A STRIKE.

The Company Succeeds in Running the
Fist Car in Forty-eight Hours After
Much TroubIe-Public Sympathy with
the strikers-A Bitter struggle Prom
ised.
IBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
COLUMBUS, Nov. 0.-The war between
the city street railroad company aud it's
employees is now on in full force and
promises to be one of the bitterest labor
wars this city has seen for a long time.
The men remain immovable and the com
pany is no less firm in its position.
Since the failure Of Mayor Karb to
bring about a settlement affairs have
steadily become worse and worse, until
the whole truth has resolved itself into
a question of which is the more power
fll. The directors met last night and
decided to attempt to run cars today
uuder police protection.
For two days and two nights not a
wheel on the consolidated road has been
turned. The residents who live any dis
tance from the center Of the city have
been greatly Inconvenience by the tie
up, especially so since the heavy snow
storms that pre- allied all day yesterday
and last night.
At this morning on policeman were
taken to the Long street line and dis
tributed at various points, Another
large squad of policeman were taken Ia
the Long street barns. At Z O'Clock
everything was Ia readiness to start d
car, and manned by non-union motor
man and conductor and dozen police
men the car slowly pulled out Of the
barn.
The strikers surged around and refused
to get of the track Another squa'
of policemen were called into service an'
after considerable trouble the track wa
cleared, and it took but a moment 70
the car to be beyond any interference
from tbs strikers at the barn.
No more trouble was .ncounterel
until the car reached Long and Higl
streets, distance of about four mile
from the barn. although all along tn
line crowds hooted and jeered as
passed. At Long and High another i'm
mense crowd met the car and took pos
session of the track. A patrol wagO
load of police soon arrived and eleare
the way, but before the car had pre-
ceeded half dozen blocks further i
was met by a large crowd of striker
and sympathizers at the corner of big
and Main. Here one of the striker
mounted a heavily loaded coal vago
and drove it on the track. He was i'm
mediately placed under arrest and hun
ried away in patrol wagon.
The police succeeded in running th
car to the court house, three block
further, where it was turned and starte
back to the barns. Little interference
was shown on the return trip.
No attemps have as yet been made
run cars over any of the er line
The strikers have been promised. the SUI
