Cars Ruu-Arbitration Rumors.
Philadelphia. Dec. 1s-The third day
OF the great strike OF the Motormen
and Conductors' union against the
Traction company finds the lines still
tied up and the backbone of the strike
has not been broken. Yesterday 81
cars were run out of a total of more
than 200. To-day probably 100 are rum
ming. All these carry more policemen
than passengers. The Traction compa-
ny appears to be concentrating it's ef-
forts to-day on the Market street
branch. AS this thoroughfare Is one Of
the widest In the city and double
tracked. IL offers advantages for run
ming cars and handling unruly crowds.
The cars run only at long intervals.
and each has a guard OF policemen.
The office of the United States mar
shall was a busy place to-day. a notice
that deputies were wanted having at
tracted hundreds of men anxious to
join the service. The marshal, pend
ing definite instructions from WASH
ington. is only taking the address Of
applicants. Trolley mail cars were not
interfered with this morning. 1t Is
probable the presence In each of one or
more men armed with rifles had a de-
terring effect on the strikers and SYM
pathizers. The Amalgamation associa-
tion leaders are in high spirits and
claim victory. Railway officials declare
they will never accede to the demands
made through this organization nor
recognize IL. Strike leaders are making
every effort to preserve the peace and
induce strikers to refrain from a rio
tous demonstration. An official of the
Traction company estimates the strik-
ers are losing $1,000 a day in wages.
and the company not less than $50. 900.
The electricians OF the Second and
Third street branches struck to-day
and the entire machinery OF the road
was stopped. Electricians at the power
house at Delaware avenue and Beach
street also went out The electricians
have been offered increased pay to re-
turn TO work.
A crowd which blocked Market street
near the postofiice and threatened to
attack street cars. was charged by
mounted police and dispersed after a
number of heads had been bruised with
the officers batons. A boy was so badly
injured he may die, and a woman was
also seriously hurt.
The traction strike situation tonight
is practically unchanged. Cars were
running on some lines during the day
under heavy police guard. but at dusk
were all withdrawn Thereswere fewer
outbreaks during the day. and none
of consequence. This was due TO rigid
police regulations. All day rumors OF

were willing TO submit their grievances
