The presence all along the line Of
the Portsmouth, O., street railroad
of police and 100 deputy sheriffs sworn
In by Sheriff Gillen. warnings that ali
violations will meet with prompt ar
rests. the pleas OF striking -aotormen
and conductors themselves for peace
and the fact that no attempts were
made to operate cars have combined
to improve the strike situation.
But when twenty state constables
from Cincinntai arrived at the COM
pany's Office Saturday night the street
fairly swarmed with persons who
hooted and jeered them. These men,
heavily armed, are guarding the street
railway property.
President Levi ID. York in his first
public utterance since the strike be-
gan bitterly attacked the city and
county officials for falling to provide
protection, declaring that If such had
been given cars would now be running
on schedule time. The demands of
the men. he says, were put up to the
company peremptorily and no time
was allowed for a decision. The COM
pany will sue the county for $4,000
damages because Of the burning of o
car Friday night.
