AN EFFECTIVE TIE-UP.
Strike of street Railway Employees at
Scranton. Pa. ParaisZes the Roads
Business superintendent Is Assault


ed.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 24.-Every one
of the 300 car and barn employees of
the Scranton Railway Co. obeyed the
strike order which went into effect at
o'clock Sunday morning and as a
consequence only two cars were rum
in all of the Lackawanna valley yes
terday These two cars were manned
by Superintendent Patterson and dis
patchers, foremen and clerks. No at
tempt was made to molest them, and
although rain fell a greater part Of
the day the two cars seldom had a
passenger.
The tied-up region extends from
Pittston to Forest City, distance of
30 miles. and includes 60 miles of
tracks, on which are run ordinarily
so cars. The men of the Wyoming
Valley Traction CO., operating all the
lines south of Pittston as far as Nan
ticoke, threaten to go on strike
Thursday. With both companies tied
up there would be total cessation of
street car traffic in busy stretch of
country. so miles north, including the
cities of Scranton, Wilkesbarre, Pitts
ton and Carbondale.
The men demand 20 cents an hour
for old employees and from 10 to ~.
cents for new men. At present the
new men receive an average Of
Is $40 cents an hour and after four
years service this is raised tC 17A
cents. They also demand a ten-hour
day instead of II as at present.
The company in its answer to the
grievance committees demands says
it is not in a position to give IN adj
vance at present.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 2S.-The first
blow struck in the street car mems
strike was received last evening by
William Patterson, the new superin-
tendent of the Scranton Railway Co.
Teamsters blocked the car he was
running and breaker boys and street
urchins assaulted it with potatoes,
stolen from an adjacent freight car.
When the trolley car reached strike
headquarters the strikers boarded it
and attempted to take off the crew.
Some one pulled Patterson from the
car and he was dealt blow on the
head, with fist or club, that
knocked off his hat and caused him
to reel
Two strikers, Edward and Joseph
Pentley, brothers, rushed the super
intendent into saloon, protecting
him from the crowd with great diff
Guilty and then barring the entrance
to give the superintendent time to
escape by the rear door.
The other strikers helped three
police officers disperse the crowd and
also helped the company's officials
take the stalled car to the barn.
Eleven cars were moved Thursday,
but not more than six at one time
As far as is known not single pas
senger was carried. Some strangers
who boarded a car at Lackawanna
avenue were induced to get off and
accepted free ride in one of the
busseS which the strikers maintain
for just such a purpose.
Provisions for the imported men
have arrived from Philadelphia. The
local business men refuse to sell the
company any supplies. The letter
carriers have hired busses at their
own expense and will not ride on the
cars hereafter.

Proposed German Duty on Wheat.

The agrarian party, after having
succeeded during the last session of
the reichstag in enacting a law pro
hibiting, in effect, the importation of
American corned beef and canned
meats and sausages. is now using its
powerful political influence to bring
about the enactment of a law that will
vastly increase the import duties on
all grains entering the German en-
pire, notably on wheat.
In this connection, it may be of in
terest to note the following table. show
ing the duties imposed by various ma
tions on the two leading grains for
breadstuffs:

Organizing for IA Struggle.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The vast in
dustrial forces of Germany are or
ganlzing for a tremendous struggle
with the agrarian and commercial in
terests. according to report to the
state department from Consul Schu-
mann at Mainz. He says that the
manufacturing interests of Germany
will demand the passage of protec-
tive tariff during the present session
of the reichstag. The imperial gov
ernment apparently is in sympathy
with the movement and while the eff"
forts so far have failed they are not
to be abandoned.

MRS FLAGLER's ALLOWANCE.
The Supreme Court Orders S25, 900 Year Set
Aside For Her
(By the Associated Press. J

New York, Nov. 20.-Dr. Charles e.
Mcdonald was today awarded $25, 900 a
year by Justice Clarke, in the Supreme
court, for the proper maint tenance and
care of Mrs. Ida M. Flagler, who has for
a considerable period been patient in
the doctors sanitarium. He was also
allowed S., 200 for his services as commit
tee of Mrs. Flaglers person. This was
done upon the recommendation of Dr. Nc
Donald that Mrs. Flagler should be placed
in a position which, in accordance with
her income and the manner in which she
was accustomed to live, she could main
tain her own establishment. Mrs. Flag
Ter was until recently the wife of Henry
M. Flagler
Justice Clarke, upon the application OF
Charles f. Shourdes, Stephen c. Shourdes,
and Mrs. Matte A, Johnson, the two
brothers and sister of Mrs Flagler, al
lowed them $4,000 a year each to be
paid them out of her income.
The reason given for making this al
lowance is that Mrs. Flagler was in the
habit of making valuable presents to her
brothers and sister, who are not in affiu-
ent circumstances, and that they, to whom
the estate will revert upon Mrs. Fag-
ler's death, are in need of an allowance
from her estate.

Colon. The latter official said that Colon

While all business is suspended, transit is
not interrupted and American life and
property are safe and not likely to be in

AS a. result of the consultation today
Secretary Hill cabled Consul General Gud-

with free transit across the Isthmus that
such interference must cease. He also
was directed to consult freely with Cap
tain Perry, the commander of the United
States battleship Iowa, now lying at Pan

Then Captain Perry was cabled by Sec
retary Long to land marines if necessary
for the protection of free transit across
the Isthmus in accordance of the treaty
