INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7. The streetcar strike here seemed all hut won this afternoon. In the wny of better conditions it was recognized that tho men inicht not cct nil they wnnt, hut it wn practically ccrnin Ihnt they would get what they asked arbitration. The traction company nssumed the linucbtic-t of attitudes nt tho begin ning of tho struggle. His men did not wnlk out. President Robert T. Todd declared, of their own will, hut becau-c tlirv were coerced info doing so bv outside agitntors. He swore lie would never accept arbitration. Within twelve hours not n wheel wns turning on his system. All efforts to tnovo cars failed, and ns n result of them four men were killed, thirty or forty injured and scores arrested. Militia Called Out Finally Governor Ralston called out the state's entire national guard. Not many more than half of the militia men answered the call. They poured into tho city on five special trains yesterday afternoon. Having called them, the governor hesitated to uso the soldiers. He delayed his procla mation of martial law, held tho out-of-town troops in tho city's outskirts and shut the local companies up in the statehouso basement. The sol diers were wild with indignation over their treatment. They sympathised openly, loo, with tho sinkers, and it was clearlv doubtful if in n clash' they couM be induced to fight tho traction com pany's battle.

Before Governor Ralston, as ref eree, the strikers rejected this offer todny without even slopping to dis cuss it. Rut they made a eounter proosition. They would waive union recognition for tho present, Ihey snid, if the company would accept tho state public servico board's ar bitration immediately. Arbitration I'rolmblo President Todd did not answer off. limul, but it wns understood from those closely associated with him that ho would neeept the proposal shortly, considering his position hopeless. Should ho accept, the strikers said, they would take the cars out wiih- out turllicr delay, lno governor, who had said from the fin.t that ho was n strike sympathiser, but must unhold the law, said that it would also bo the signal for tho troops' re- IHREE DEAD, THREE E TACOMA.
