Columbus, O., July 25. Columbus
is In the throes of another streetcar
strike, following a decision by tho
state board of arbitration which was
construed by both parties to the con
troversy as a victory for their
side. The decision stated that tho
Columbus Railway and Light com
pany had violated its agreement of
May 4 by discriminating against tho
union men in Its employ, although a
number of the coses reported by tho
union were slightly exaggerated. Tho
board held, however, that the differ
ences between the company and the
men were not of such a serious na
ture that they could not bo settled by
arbitration if each side would Bhow
a disposition to yield a few minor
points.
Neither the company nor tho men
would make any concessions and tho
men voted to walk out. The com
pany was fully prepared for the
emergency and Mayor Marshall was
not caught napping as in the April
strike, when a dozen cars had been
reduced to kindling wood before tho
city administration was fully awake
to the fact that a strike was In prog
ress. Strikebreakers Run Cars.
Strikebreakers were on hand to
man tho cars, and police wero sta
tioned at each barn to see that they
were not molested when they rtartod
on their runs, while auto oatrola
whizzed up and down the streets on
which cars were operated. There
were no outbreaks In any part of the
city, the uulon sympathizers showing
their displeasure by refusing to pat

not deemed safe to operate the cars
after dark.
Mayor Marshall Issued a proclama

to remain off the streets In case of
rioting and forbidding men to ongre

would do his best to maintain order
