BIG STRIKE BROKEN.
Americans Return to Work at Pressed
Steel Car Company's Plant
Quiet at Butler.

PITTSBURG. Pa, July 19.-With-
out the slightest display of violence on
the part of the striking employees, the
plant of the Pressed Steel Car company
partially resumed operations today. Five
hundred men entered the shops. The
men who were put to work are reported
to be the American working men who
walked out with the foreign strikers but
refused to stay on strike as they claimed
the foreigners had little excuse for re-
fusing to work.
BUTLER. Pa, July 19.-Following
yesterdays rioting at the Standard Steel
Car company the situation at Butler
early today presented none too promising
an aspect
According to General Manager Alt
man of the Standard company, the
American workmen on strike await only
ample protection to return to work. Alt
man asserts that threats of the foreign
ers on strike are all that hold back
hundreds of the workmen. Eighteen al
legged strike leaders were arrested today,
making thirty men now in the coun-
ty Jail here, all charged with rioting.

detective service and mortally wounded
NJ. Nugal, after which he committed
suicide, has confirmed a suspicion that

A complete burglars outfit was found,

superb enamels on copper, six sculptured

CYCLE BL0WUP FATAL
FLAMING MOTORCYCLE HURTLES
INTO CROWD.
Eleven Killed and Forty Hurt at Berlin
Botanic Gardens-Panic and
Fire Follow.

BERLIN, July 19.-At least eleven
persons were killed, between thirty and
forty seriously injured, and others hurt
when a motor cycle exploded during a
race at the Old Botanic gardens yester.
day.
The bicycle, which was the pace max,
er, became all in flames. 1t plunged into
a mass of onlookers, Jumping the barrier
with the speed of a comet.
A woman was the first victim. She
was hit by the kissing rocket as ii
leaped through the air, knocked down,
and her dress set atire. She arose, a
pillar of flame, and, half demented,
fought fercely through the throng, ignit'
ing the gowns of other women as she
struggled among them, shrieking with
pain.
The accident came during the second
event in which we'll known cyclists, in
Guiding Stellbrink, Contenet, Ryser and
Stol were competing. 1t was Ryser's
machine that blew up. After few laps
had been ridden a tire of his bicycle
burst and Ryser lost control. The ben
zine exploded Immediately and in a sec
ond the cycle was ablaZe.
Ryser was hurled from the machine
into his competitors and he and several
of them were injured, while his mount
took the fence. So terrific was it's speed
that it crashed on through the crewd be-
side the track and into the stand, where
another thrOng was seated.
Spectators were pitched right and left
as the cycle sped on it's wings of death.
Two women were killed at once and their
bodies, saturated with the flaming ben
zine, were burned to cinders.
The track where the disaster hap
pened was opened q week ago today. The
accident was due primarily to the ma
chine skidding on slippery place.

RAILROADS MUST
aid WATERWAYS
COMMISSIONER SMITH REPORTS TO
PRESIDENT TAFT THAT CO.
OPERATION IS ESSENTIAL.
TRAFFIC ON LAKES Is BULK.
But River and Canal Traffic Continually
Decrease and Their Facilities
Are Wasted.
DECREASE ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
Cooperation between railways and wat
erWays seems absolutely necessary to
insure a reasonable and efficient use of
the inland water-courses of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the re-
port of Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations, in his discussion
of transportation by water. The sec
ond part of the report was transmitted
to President Taft today.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that ''it is a public evil that the
entire transportation system of the
United States should be, as now, at odds
with itself through destructive compe-
tition, while the transportation needs of
the public suffer-"
Need Traffic Demand
''Traffic in ITSELF" the report contin-
ues. lis a necessity for the proper devel-
opment of a waterway. State and fed
eral work must be supplemented by prl-
vate initiative, especially in terminals
and equipment, and private initiative
will come in only when there is rea-
sOnable chance of enough tratfic to make
it profitable. One of the great ques-
tons. therefore, is the question of how
a reasonable share of the cOuntry's trat-
fic."
In the body of the report, Commission
err Smith points out the predominance of
bulk traffic by water, and the reasons
therefor Then he outlines the prac-
teal results to be obtained from a thor
Ough system Of waterways. The entire
transportation system of the country is
divided into three great classes: Rail,
deep water, rivers and canals.
Increase in Rail Traffic.
An enormous increase has been shown
in the rail traffic. There also has been
an increase in the coastwise traffic. On
the other hand the river and canal traffic
shows a marked decrease. Discussing
this situation Commissioner Smith, III
his report, says:
THE great mass of the coast ana
Great Lakes traffic is bulk. The enor-
nous development of the Great Lakes
business is largely due to the vast ore
and grain trade moving eastward "l!
the coal trade moving westward About
100000 tons of ore were trans
ported in 1907 eastward, and about
100000 tons of coal were moved
being all bulk and of uniform character,
received and delivered at a few central
ports, have produced there a very high
" organized system of transportation
and terminals, and consequent low
transportation cost.
THE river and canal system, on the
other hand, has been losing steadily.
The New York canals and the Missis-
sippi river system illustrate this. Up
to 1855 the traffic on the New York
canals was more than twice that OF the
railroads crossing New York state. 1t
is now less than three per cent Of that
total The situation on the Mississippi
is illustrated in the traffic history of
st. Louis. River shipments there in
1890 were over 100000 tons; in 1906,
1900. Rail shipments, Oh the other
hand, increased from 5,0OO,O00 tons i'll
1890 to 100000 tons in 1906.
