PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Philadel-
phia is today In the tangie Of street
car strike. The order of the executive
committe Of the Garments Union was
not generally obeyed, but sufficient men
quit work to seriously interfere with
the service In all parts of the city.
The order to strike was issued at an
carly hour today. ana went into effect
at 4 a. m. At 9 a. m. cars were rum
ming on all but two of the lines Of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
which operates the entire street railway
system, but II was apparent that the
company was having difficulty.
Paradoxical as 1t may seem, the strike
was hastened through the action OF the
company in raising the wages of the
men one cent an hour, from 21 to 20
cents. Prior to the announcement of
the increase in wages the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company became the
storm-centre of general protest by
abolishfng six for a quarter tickets and
adopting a straight f1ve-cent fare rate.
Demands of Men.
AS the move to change the rate of
fare was unpopular among the street
car riders, the union leaders of the
street car men took advantage of the
situation and began agitating an in
crease in wages. The local leaders of
the union called upon John B. Parsons,
president of the company, but he re-
fused to see them. The committee
wanted to lay before him demands
which included a request for twenty
five cents an hour. nine or ten hours
straight work, instead of splitting up
the day, privilege Of buying uniforms
in the open market and the adjustment
Of minor grievances.
The company having already In
creased the wages, the union men met
with no success, and began strenthen-
ing the organization
The traction company employs ap-
proximately $500 motormen and con-
ductors. and 1t is claimed by the COM
pany that not more than one-sixth of
these are affiliated with the orsaniza-
ton. On the other hand the union lead
ers say that the union has member
ship of $500.
The arbitration feature Of the Georgia
railroad strike was simplined today. It
was announced that General Manager
Scott. OF the railroad. now has full
power to say whether or not there shall
be arbitration for every milo of track
covered by Georgia trains.

Interstate Commerce Chief to
Make Final Effort to Reach
a Compromise.

ATLANTA. Ca. May 2e.-The stats
of Georgia officials viii today instruct
that the sheriff in Lithonia summon
posse of sufficient size to protect and
insure the movement Of the stalled
freight cars from Lithonia to Atlanta
This is the first interference by the
State in the strike and it applies only
to the Lithonia situation.
With a tenseness indesoribable. the
arrival is awaited today from WASH
ington of Chairman Knapp. OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart, who come at the direct in
stance of President Taft to investigate
the strike situation on the Georgia
railroad, with view to aiding In
bringing about settlement. 1t is not
known along what lines these men will
proceed in considering the situation.
but there is general feeling that since
they come as the direct agents OF the
President, and at his earnest solicita-
ton. something definite and satisfao-
tory will be accomplished
Negro firemen will today occupy
seats opposite the white engineers on
the different mail trains that are oper-
ated over the Georgia railroad Il the
engineers have objected to these men
because of their color there has not
been the slightest Indication Of It. But
out on the line the feeling II unu1n-
taxable, and it is decidedly adverse to
the presence OF the blaclzA In uomo
quarters IT Is declared that the St1ko q

AUGUSTA. Ca, May 2s.--IntenDe ex-
Union Point, on the Georgia raffroad
and there is a firm determination that
no trains other than those Carrying
mails solely will be allowed to pass
these points The action Of the rail-
road in sending the mail trains out
with negro firemen is bitterly resented
1t is feared that these trains are not
safe from attack.
There are many negroes residing iu
these towns along the Georgia railroad
and to the great majority Of them the
manifestation of excitement upon the
part of the whites is not understood. II
that race trouble has broken out In At
lanta and that several hundred negroes
have been killed.
There is no denying the fact that It h
imperative that something IN the way
of settling the strike be done without
delay, as there Will be. bloodshed.

Eow Country Editors ext Rich.

alter a good deal study and
work We have at last figured ou,
why so many country editors get
rich. Here is the secret Of sue
cess: a child is born in the
neishborhood. the attending
physician gets S25, the editor
gives the oud-lunged younsster
and the happy parentSa send OFF
and gets 800. 1t is christened:
the minister gets so and the
edi:,r gets 800. It grows up and
marries: the editor publishes
another long winded, fowery
article and tells 4 dozen lies
about the beautiful and accom-
plished bride, the minister gets
$40 and a piece of cake. the edi.
tor gets $o0S. In the course of
time it dies, and the doctor gets
from $25 to 500, the minister,
perhaps, gets another SIS. The
undertaken gets from $50 to 500:
the editor publishes notice of
the death and an obituary two
columns long, lodge and society
resolutions. a lot OF poetry and
free card Of thanks. and gets
$O,O0O. No wonder so many
country editors get rich.-Ex.
