Located Near Lloyd street-Gerlach

Margaret COughlin is the purchaser and the
reported price is SO, 7jO. There is large

property.
Another deal affecting property in the
same locality is about to be consummated
The site in this instance is lot 3Ox7s feet

Gently sold by c. +. Titman to the school
Board. The price in this instance is said to

Tied Up.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec II AT 4 o'clock
this morning the street car lines of this
city were tied up i'm n general strike That
step was decided upon at midnight. The
conductors and mOtormen are waging war
for living wages, shorter hours and the
privilege of belonging to the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees
Dissatisfaction has been growing for q
long time, but reached high pitch imme-
diately after the recent consolidation Of
all the local lines into one company-the
Union Traction. Then action was precip-
ltated by the numerous discharges from
the company's service of men belonging to
the AmRlgamated Association Many con
ferences have been sought by the various
committees representing Slc railway men,
but all have been rejected by President
Welsh and the company's board of di-
rectors.
A few days ago w. d. Mahon, of De
troit, president Of the street car workers

city and took charge of the affairs Of the

ceiv lst night at a meeting of the com
mittet having charge of the railway mems
affairs After long and earnest discussion
it was finally decided to declare general
strike on all the lines of the company,
which controls every car in the city.
The demands of the strikers are very
modest They ask 81 for days work of
ten hours, with thirty minutes for meals;
that cars shall be vestibuled; that sweep
ers snowplows and trippers shall be con
sidered special work, and that men who
have been discharged for organizing shall
be reinstated
