TROOPS PASS THROUGH CITY

Several companies of state militia passed through Rensselaer Thursday over the Monon, enroute to Hammond to protect the Standard Steel Car, Co. plant and those of its employes who desired to work. The strike, which it was thought would be settled at a conference' early in the week, is still on, the strikers refusing the offers of the company, and trouble was feared because a large part of the strikers are ignorant foreigners.
