ROB PASSENGERS IN OMAHA

Nonunion Men on Street Cars Make Them Pay Two Fares. Omaha, Neb., Oct. I.—All efforts to settle the stret car strike by arbitration have failed. A riot call came from the Ames avenue car barn and a sheriff’s posse was sent in answer. It was found the crew of a car had refused to carrypassengers after collecting fares. The passengers drove away the crew and ran the car themselves. The crew of another car used similar tactics, and succeeded in collecting a second fare from the passengers before proceeding with them.
