COACH CREWS RtTT. Train and*Yard Master* Keep Lines Open at Colnwbne, O. COLUMBUS, O., April 13.—Passenger train service through Columbus experienced only slight delay today as a result of a coach crew’s leaving their work, assistant trainmasters and yard masters working overtime to koop the trains running, but railroad officials predictfd a breakdown of passenger service at any moment. Rallrosd yardmasters and assistant trainmasters of the various railroad# reported practically no .improvement in the •trike situation, with none of the strikers returning to work. Movement of freight and express is practically at a standstill Machinist# of the Pennsylvania shops have voted not to go out on •trike in sympathy with th* trainman. it was said today. Company officials said they were still waiting for the Brotherhood of
Mere Attend Meetings. It was notceable that attendance at meetings of loyal workers in the brotherhood’s headquarters was improved and particularly the older m#n were giving more thought to the prospects of losing their seniority rights by remaining with the striking forces. More of the workers were beginning to understand the vi#w of the brotherhood officials, who are heartily in favor of increased wages, but who believed the method adopted to win this point is certain to fall. Resolutions, recommending patience On the part of shippers during the strike of switchmen and pledging co-operation with railroad managers, were Adopted at a meeting of shippers and business men in the Riley room of the Clsypool hotel Monday night. The meeting was attended by about 300 persons. Charles Martindale presided. Representatives of railroads said the strike situation ia gradually improving. Moveaaeat to Obtain Mea.

J. W. Coneys, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad, said that if the brotherhoods can not induce the switchmen to return to work men must he obtained from other industries to take their places. He suggested that a survey of the industries be made to find out how many men are available. M. V. Hynes, superintendent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis A Western; D. F. Schaff. superintendent of the -Big Four; William Ward, agent of th# Illinois Centrbl and P. J. Landers, superintendent of the Indiana Union Railroad Company, also spoke. Charles F. Coffin, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said that as the time came to show a nation that it is unsafe and unwise to regard a contract a* a scrap of paper so the time has come to teach a group of individuals the same lesson. He said that it is th* duty of all men who believe in taw and order to help relieve
