McCLOUD, Cal, May 31.-At the
conclusion of a meeting here today Of
500 italian lumber workers about 200
of them boarded the mail train for
Bartle, thirty-six miles east, to force
the few loggers still at work in the
woods to join in the strike, or at least
to quit work. All these strikers paid
their fares and the company was
Obliged to carry them.
In McCloud not a wheel is turning
and the saWmills, planning mn, poA
factory. and machine shops all are
silent.
Eleven locomotives stand idle in the
roundhouse and only two trains are
moving, those carrying the mails To
Sisson and Bartle.
Few acts of violence have been re-
ported, though strikers armed with
clubs have forced number OF men to
quit work.
six hundred out on strike and as
MANY more who desire TO work are idle
through fear of the consequences OF
continuing at their post. 1t is believed
that by tonight no men Will be at work
in the woods.
Sheriff Howard, who is still here
has sworn in fifty deputies TO guard
against fires and prevent violence. Nc
arrests, however, have yet been made.
The directors of the McCloud River
Lumber company held u meeting in
Chicago on Saturday 10 consider the
demands Of the strikers, but whether
any action has been taken has not
been learned here. The local manage
ment of the company remains firm in
its refusal of the strikers demands
and the Italians are as determined as
ever not to yield. A feeling of UNI
easiness prevails.

PHILADELPHIA. May 81. - AL
though the Philadelphia Rapid Tran

yesterday and during the night to take
the places of its motormen and con-
ductors who went on strike Saturday,
the street car service is worse today
than at any time since the trouble

only about one-quarter of the regu-
lar number of cars operated by the
company, which controls every line IN
the city, are running today, day
when the equipment of the big cor

The Market street subway and eie-

the strike, the employees on these lines
receiving higher pay than the surface
workers.
The strike has seriously interfere1
with the observance of Memorial day,
thousands of persons being forced to
give up their visits to cemeteries or
forego their pleasure trips to parks
and other places On some of the
lines service is practically suspended.
Automobiles are being hired at high
figures and thousands of teamsters are
carrying people at five and ten cents
a ride.
The strikers have a sympathetic fol-

action of the traction company in adj

zEPPELIN'S SHIP
ALMOST WRECKED
DlRIGlBLE BALLOON ALlGHTS
ON TREE
Count Covers Distance of $50 Miles in
Thirty-seven Hours Before Dis
astrous Landing Is
Made
rBy Associated Press.l

GOEPPINGEN, May Slater COW
ering a distance of about $50 miles in
thirty-seven hours Count Zeppelin
airship in it's return this afternoon
from Bitterfield to Professionalism
came to grief in an open field near
here.
In maneuvering for a landing the
airship came in contact with tree.
The damage to the ship is much more
serious than at first believed.
A cursory examination directly after
the accident showed that the envelope
had been torn and it was thought that
the injury could be repaired and that
the vessel would proceed tonight.
A more careful examination, how
ever. disclosed that the PROV was
broken and that considerable time
must elapse before the journey can be
continued.
The position Of the craft tonight was
considered extremely unfavorable, the
ground being very hilly. The bow
rested on the ground, with the stern
sixty-fiVe feet in the air. A strong
breeze sprang up toward evening
causing no little anxiety for the satety
of the airship, which would be
wrecked if a storm would come up dur
ing the night.
After considerable labor and with
the assistance of some of those who
had gathered at the scene of the acct
dent Count Zepplin was able to shift
the position of his airship a little and
thus give better protection from the
wind.
That the collision was heavy is in
dictated by the broken and bent strips
of aluminium lying about the ground
and the half split branches dangling
from the trunk of the tree
Zeppelin Depressed
a-.-.t-4s. -1.1v, ogeay,1 E1Ied and
it became almost impossible for We
hicles to pass along the public high
ways.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose
of replenishing his supply of benzine,
which was nearly exhausted. The
motors already had stopped and the
airship was nearing the ground on a
meadow when a sudden strong puff Of
wind drove the Prov out of its course
and against q pear tree 1t struck with
a crash, smashing the aluminium stays
into q shapeless mass, which became
inextricably enmeshed in the branches.
Nearly 100 feet of the envelope and
frame were destroyed.
Count Zeppelin Immediately came to
Goeppingen in an automobile and tel
egraphed to Friederichshafen for
worlnen to make repairs. After rest
ing for several hours at a hotel he
returned in the evening to the scene
of the accident, proceeding thence by
automobile to Friederichshafen. He
will return here tomorrow morning.
Permanent repairs will require six
weeks in order to get the ship to Man
zell. A new prov, much shorter than
the original, will be constructed with
out the vertical steering planes. No
one was injured in the accident, but it
greatly depressed Count Zeppelin.
