Street Car Strike at Philadel-
phia as Far From Settle-
ment as Ever.
Several Conferences Between
Opposing Factions With
out Result.
Strikers Get Public Sympathy
and Large Cash Con-
tributiOnS.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The strike
situation is apparently unchanged, but
the air is full of all kinds of rumors.
No attempt was made to run cars dur
ing the day. Many conferences were
held on both sides, but no statements
were given out The strikers had uni
formed men in all parts of the city
soliciting subscriptions from door to
door, and it is said that the aggregate
collections run into high figures.
At the West Philadelphia station of
the Market street line small army of
new men are confined. They were
brought here from Boston and other
New England cities to take the places
of the strikers Soon after their arrival
one man
Became Dissatisfied and Left.
To the strikers he said all the men
would leave but they were practically
prisoners. They claim they were led
to believe they were to open new
trolley line here and upon learning the
truth became disguised and wanted to
leave but were not permitted.
President Welch has issued state
ment to the public. 1t reiterates the
company's determination to ignore any
outside organization and lays the blame
Of the strike and it's consequences upon
parties who had no connection with the
company Mr.. WEIGH rehearses the
events of the past few days deploring
the violence and explaining the inabil-
ity of the company to discharge the
1000 new men they have taken on
since the strike began.
Contributions for Strikers.
The strike leaders assert that fully
200, 900 people have promised not to
ride ON the cars of the company and
have contributed to the funds solicited.
Between $1,000 and $4,000 had been
realized up to midnight and contribu-
lions were still coming in.
The conference with General Man
ager Beetem lasted four hours. Then
the committee of employees returned to
headquarters and went into session
with the executive committee of the
Amalgamated association and President
