Against the Street Car Company by The
Kansas City Labor Council.

the Matter shortly.
THO CARS WERE RUN BY NEW Me

Kansas City, Mo-, May i3.--Every street
car line in this city and in Kansas City,
Kan. was in full operation today and no
show of violence was offered by the slrik-
eis. The injunction OF the Federal court
enjoining the union men from interfering
with the running OF the cars and the added
fact that it was Sunday combined to have
salutary effect on the strikers. EARLY
in the day groups OF strikers gathered at
the different power houses and quietly
urged the crews not to go out.
The strikers interviewed declared they
were sill hopeful and that tomorrow would
show different results During the after
noon the industrial council held an en-
thusiastic meeting and resolutions sympa-
thlzlng with the street car men and order
ing boycott Of the railroad company were
adopted.
Tue industrial council is composed of
Atty three different unions outside of the
building trades. Each OF these unions was
represented at today's meeting by two
delegates.
Ia addition to the resolutions ot symps-
thy the industrial council unanimously
adopted the following appeal TO the Mis-
been precipitated by organized labor by
the action OF the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company in discharging sixty -tiye of
lis employees because these men saw fit
TO connect themselves with others of their
craft; thai when the employees attempted
to exercise their manhood by requesting
other employees 10 become members, the
company resorted to the United States for
a blanket injunction restraining each and
every one from interfering ia the matter
with the men in heir employ at n tiue
when not single unlawful act could he
charged up 10 organized labor. therefore,
we appeal to you in the name Of humanity
TO use your best endeavors to have con.
gress pass an act limiting the power of
United States judges in issuing injunctlons
and in this connection we favor the cleo
ton of United States judges by direct vote
of the people,"
This appeal. which was adopted unanl-
mously by the council, was ordered sent
to each Missouri member in congress.
1t was occasioned of course by the re-
straining order issued against the strik-
ers last night by United States judge
Hook.
A mass meeting of strikers has been
called for tomorrow morning at 60: 80 when
ii is believed determined action will be
decided upon.

Manila, May 13-The iatest rumor Of
any outbreak in Manila among the natives.
which was in circulation last week, was
seriously discussed by some OF the local
papers and attracted more general at
tention than has usually been the case
with this sort of thing. As a matter of
fact, many Filipinos did leave their Amer
lean employers with the apparent intcn-
tion OF joining some such movement. Their
action, taken IN connection with the ar
rest of several natives for carrying con-
cealed weapons and the dispersion OF sew
eral suspicious gatherings, gave color to
the reports.
The officials have been active in the
matter, but are not Inclined 10 think any
uprising will be attempted. They believe
the Filiplnos, lacking In the necessary
courage, especially In View OF the fact
that the natives feared to attempt the
demonstration at the time OF General Law
toms funeral. although they made careful
preparations and many insurgents had
come to Manila for this express purpose.
