GROuNDLESS FEARS.
USE OF THE JOINT BUILDING HALL,
FOR DRILL.
Not the Slightest Danger of any
Damage Being Done to the
Observation-Disclosures Young Inter-
viewed,

That portion of the grand jury's re-
port condemning the action of the
city council and county selectmen in
granting the National Guard permits
sion to use rooms in the joint building
for drill purposes has been the subject
Of much comment The general
opinion of those familiar with the con-
struction of the building seemed to be
that the jury's criticisms were totally
unWarranted, some even characterize
ing them as ridiculous.
City Engineer Young was seen by a
Herald representative yesterday and
asked if. in his opinion, the marching
of troops on the upper floors would al
feet the structure.
You may quote me as saying that
the fears expressed by the grand jury
are groundless, and that the city and
county are taking no chances by al
lowing the boys to drill he replied.
Captain Young declined to speak
on the details of the construction OF
the building, not having the plans at
hand, but asserted most positively that
the effect of squad marching on the
floor in the largest room in the build
ing could result in no damage to the
structure. During the course Of its
construction he had visited the build
ing and was impressed with the
solidity of its floors and build in gem
eral; hence, he considered it abso-
lutely safe.
Captain Young has attended several
drills of the militia and again was
present at the drill last night for the
particular purpose of determining the
effect of a company marching on the
floor The vibration was scarcely per-
ceptible, he said, the floors being al
most rigid. He caused a squad Of the
men to march heavily in the center of
the room, but not the slightest Vibra-
ton could be felt.
To satisfy the public that there is
no cause for alarm and that the
authorities were entirely justified in
granting the use of the upper floor for
the boys, the matter will in all prob
ability be taken up at the meeting of
the council tonight. and referred 10
the city engineer for investigation
1t may be stated in this connection
that before the permission to drill was
granted, the opinions of the engineer
and others entirely familiar with the
construction of the building were OBJ
tanned. so that the city and county
authorities did not go into the matter
blindly. but were fully Informed and
justified in the action taken.

Every Street Car Line In PhiladeI-

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.-Every

tied UP by strike that will be in
augurated at o'clock tomorrow MORN
ing The conductors and motormen
are waging war for better wages,
shorter hours and the privilege of be-

ton of Street Railway Employees. Fol
| lowing the recent consolidation of all
the city lines into one company-the
Union Traction-there were numerous
discharges from the conlpany's services
! of men belonging to the amalgamated
association.
Since that time committees from the
union have repeatedly asked for con-
ferences with the officials of the COM
pany but all their overtures have been
rejected by President Welsh.
The beginning of the crisis came last
week when T. D. MaIhon, president of
the national organization came here
and took charge of the affairs of the
union. The result was an ultimatum
sent by the union this morning to
| President Welsh. Mr.. Welsh informed
the bearer of the message that there
would be no answer and that no per-
son representing the labor organization
would be recognized.
Then a number of subcommittee

Tonight the employees of the COM
pany held a big meeting at Harmonic
hall and there the strike was formally
ordered. 1t was agreed to take out no
cars tomorrow morning. a delegation
of citizens, headed by Ex-Governor Pat
tison, appeared at the hall and asked
for a private conference. They were
admitted, and it is reported, urged the
men not to precipitate a strike.
Though they were respectfully listened

to keep away from the rum shops.
At a later hour tonight the union
executive committee issued a procIa-
nation to the people of Philadelphia,
setting forth their grievances. First,
they demanded that ten consecutive
hours shall constitute a. days work,
with not less than thirty minutes for
meals, and that 81 shall be the wages

adjustment of several minor grievances.

WHO IS TO BLAME.
Difficulty Between the Union Pacific
and the Western Considered.

CHICAGO, Dec ia meeting of the
Chicago connections of the Chica
Utah lines was held today to consider
the fight between the Union Pacific
and the Denver & Rio Grande over
tickets on the former on the markets
IN those two states. Nothing was done
at the meeting, but another meeting
will be held on Friday of this week.
The disposition to blame the Union Pa
chic has weakened very materially
and there is a strong opinion that the
western connections of the Denver &
Rlo Grande are as much to blame for
the situation as anybody The lines
today put in as much time discussing
means of keeping the decentralization
out of their own territory as anything
else.
