WELSH MAKES A STATEMENT
John Lowber Welsh, president of the Union
Traction Company, VINO has been reported
as being the man " no has stood in the way
or all attempts at arbitration. through his
absolute refusal 10 recognize the Amalga-
mated Association OF Street Railway En-
pioyes, issued statement last night to
the pubic, giving hIs version or the trouble.
He claimed that there was Dodissatisfaction
among his employees until labor agitators
stirred them up TO strike.
Mr. Welsh practically says in his state
meDt That his company VIII never recognize
the Amaigamated Association, and this
may be the rock upon which tonights
negotiations for settlement may split
upon. AS settlement was not reached
last night, the company proposes TO oper-
ate iis Market ana Chestnut streets and
Lancaster avenue branches today at all
hazards.
In anticipation of further trouble to-
day the mayor last night swore in 500
more policemen and these Will give him u
force OF 5000 men at mis- command. Mayor
Warwick said today:
MAYOR wARWICK'S VIEWS.
"As matters stand today my duty as
chief executive officer is to preserve the
peace and order OF this city. ana / will
do this with ali the force at my command.
and, If necessary, ! Will bring 10 my
sistaDce all the force that can be brought
into requisition under the law, be it State
or national.
Life and property shall be protected
by the strong arm OF the law. Law!essness
is anarchy, ana that will not be permitted
under any circunsta nceS."
a settlement was not reached last night
and greater Trouble IS expected today.
The spirit OF bitterness against tne TraC-
ton Company has Increased and the i'm
portation or men from other cities has
intensified this feeling
1t is the earnest hope OF the majority
OF the citizens of Philadelphia that n
compromise OF some sort shall be reached
at once. as the strike has already cost
the city indirectly hundreds of thousands OF
dollars, as de from the direct expenses CT
the strike, the retail holiday trade has
been practically killed, ard the merchants
of the city are clamoring for an end.
