All the Lines In the Quaker City VIII Be
Tied Up--The Police Are Making Every
Preparation to Guard the Traction
Company's Enormous Property.

PHILADELPHIA, April 80. "A strike
has been again ordered upon the lines
of the Union Traction Co. by the Anal
gamated Association of Street Railway
Employees, to go into effect at four
o'clock Thursday morning. After, the
refusal of the president to submit the
questions to arbitration the central
committee of the association held q
meeting Wednesday evening. The re-
suit of the deliberations was the or
dering of the strike. The committee
considered that the refusal of Mr..
Walsh to arbitrate settled any show by
peaceable methods any adjustments of
the grievances of the men and they now
propose to fight for what was refused
them. The committee claims that a
majority of the six thousand men on
the company's system will obey the or
der to quit, and that all the lines will
be tied up. With a lively recollection
of disorders attending the strike last
December, the police are making every
preparation to guard the company's
property and to prevent violence.
No disorder was reported Tuesday
morning, and cars are running regu-
larry on all the lines. There is no out
ward appearance that a strike is in
progreSSs.
