COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. 2A-rhere were
rumors last night Of q pending strike of
the street railway employees, but they were
first Of mysterious and elusive nature.
At 2:3O this morning w. d. Mahon an
nounced that the advisory committee Of the
union had decided to declare a strike
If the cars run out of the barns this
morning there will be no union men on
Them" he said. The committee was then
engaged in making the final preparations
for the movement
At l O'Clock this morning ". d. Mahon
president Of the national rganization OF
street railway employees, stated that the
clared. The advisory board Of the union
were then In private session, he said max
ing preparations for action ut the baras In
the morning.
Mr.. Mahon said the last three nights the
men had been holding meetings The prin.
cipal grievances were the discharge OF
two OF the street car mems advisory board
and the alleged abuses in the syst en- OF
shortage slips In use by the company. The
two members of the advisory board were
Cassius Moore and John SweetDan. both
motormen. who were discharged about a
week ago. The street car men claimed the
men were discharged because they were
union men.
This action. together with the system Of
shortage slips adopted by the company
was said to have precipitated a general
clamor for a settlement
President Mahon further stated that
though the men were determined they were
not willing to act without having conferred
again with the company. Accordingly they
drew up proposition to the company ask.
Ing that the two discharged members of
the advisory board be reinstated at once

that the company had not received any
protest or communication from the men,

discharged men. but he did not appear as
representative of the men, nor did he have
much to say on the subject. Mr. Stewart

THE NIGHT SCHOOLS
Opened Last Night With nm Unusually
Large Attendance.

The night schools of the city were opened
last evening In the various school buildings.
and what is believed will prove a successful
year Of work was begun. The attendance
at all the buildings was much larger II is
said, than 1t was last year. The school
rooms In the Franklin building were lust
as much crowded as those in the Jefferson
or the Wallach buildings. which goes to
show that the advantages OF these schools
is appreciated by citizens in all sections of
the city. The teachers will have larger
classes than they had last year, but it is
thought that this Will not be a detriment
to the efficiency of the schools. The teach.
ers will be able to do Justice to a larger
number of scholars, and even II that was
not the case there would be no remedy, for
the amount of the appropriation was not
fixed with the view of any increase in the
numbers
However, those who avail themselves of
the privileges of these schools will find that
they are well equipped to give an education
1t is not known why there is such a large
attendance this year. The schools are open
three nights each week.

port recently loaded with allies and pro-
visions. but especially ammunition. for

The other reason current for the suspen

Ifradentes yesterday to come outside and
