Wsyot warwick and Director OF Pub
"a, as,ety Beitler, who spent tue night
IN the City hall ready for any emergen-
~ which might arise, reported TINS
9orning with m evident air OF relief
,sst r,uofts from all sections Of the city
s,s IN the effect that everything 10
uulst today. This condition is without
','nbl due in large extent to the do
tstmined stand taken by the mayor
isst might, when he served notice that
n was no longer a fight between the
traction company aud the strikers, but
a rattle between The city and mob vio-
ltnee. , - Ill.
were sworn In. These WIN regulars
constituted an army VI over 2ioOO men,
and all are on duty today. The big
car sheds and power houses were vigil
nntly guarded all night, but no al
tempt al violence was made.
ON Market street the authorities have
stationed two mounted policemen on
each corner IN addition to two OF more
men on foot. This street end Chestnut,
which were the scenes VI most Of yes
tsfiAyIs noting, arc most carefully
guarded today, but the disordetly ele'
msnt teem either cowed or inditieren nj,
fgf there has 30 far been no tiEn OF u
dls,urbance. Every other man wears
\ card bearing tbs wordf:
III will walk" stuck In the hat band
OF pinned TO the coat, and many women
ale wearing them too.
Officials OF tue company declare
they have plenty OF men to run the
ears, II they can get protection. Or
the other hand, the strikers declare
that enough skilled men to take their
places cannot be obtained.
The strike has proved a windfnll TO
the single indepeL dent line In this
city, which resisted the pressure whom
the big consolidation was effected
Every car on this limo is packed TO the
roof.
A crowd Of over 800 armed men
with DToons and hags undertook "a
march around the city hall, but wal
dl,peuei by ths police.
Director BETTER subsequently said:
"rhe situation 10 ~ grave that
parAdes OF any kind are dangerous "a
the peace OF the community, and
demonstrations, especially OF strikers,
will be stopped. Any group OF person.
numbering nyu will be looked upon nj
crowd snd DO Dispersed.
AIS pun. the strike situation has IN
no way improved. The populace Il
nervous and excited aud such Sigh
occurrence as n man running on thc
street Is sufficient TO start u mob In pur
suit, hunting for trouble. Not one ca
has yet made the circuit, that did no
have strong eEcOrt Of police.
