CAR men
STRIKE
$500 GO OUT, AND
SMALL RIOT STARTS
THIS MORNING
tunlted press Leased wlre.l

J Philadelphia, Pa, May 29.-Riot-
! ing and disorders throughout the city
greeted the citizens today when they
arose to find that a general strike of
! motormen and conductors went into
effect at 4 O'Clock this morning, and
that two-thirds of the surface lines
of the entire city we're tied up.
A mob attacked a car on Girard
avenne at Fifty-first street and stoned
the passengers and crew. The win
dows OF the car we're smashed, and
the car was badly damaged, but no
one was seriously hurt. The motor
man and conductor, who were the
main objects of the missiles, succeed
ed in escaping.
Police reserves were rushed to the
scene, and after a half hour of ex-
citement, order was restored.
There are 1900 trolley employees In
Philadelphia, and the union claims
that 3300 belong to the organization.
The men now receive 81 cents an
hour. They demand 20 cents an
hous, and the privilege OF buying
their uniforms in the open market.
II is understood that the company
will fight the strike in every way,
though an effort has been made to
bring about a meeting between the
company offlcials and the union leal-
ers.
Following a number of small riots
the police took under consideration
the closing OF every saloon I'm the
city. This action will undoubtedly be
taken II there is any more trouble.
One arrest was made when a mob
OF 5000 persons attacked a car at
Girard avenue and Fifty-fifth street.
The crew was stoned and an attempt.
made 10 wreck the car. but the po-
lice dispersed the mob, taking into
custody the ringleader.
Service throughout the city is ir-
regular this afternoon and most OF
the central lines are stalled.
Rioting continued throughout the
morning, one clash taking place at
Sixteenth and Market streets, where
so strikers drove the crew from a
car.

THE CHERRY FAIR
IS NOW ASSURED

A cherry fair for this year is un.
oouDtedly assured. A preliminary
skirmish has been made by the pro.
vtsional finance committee, and dona.
tions are being made very literally.
IL Is proposed to have a big three
days fair, rs weil as street enter
tainment, sports, games and all man
ner OF amusements for the visitors.
Since the Fourth OF July PROPOSE
tion Is eliminated, the contributions
are coming literally. Not only the
business men and property owners In
town are subscribing for the fair,
but many of the fruit growers are
literally disposed. and the feeling
among the committeeman is that a
great fair can be held. Further
meetings will be called early In the
week, to put in motion the various
details that go to make for the sue
cess of the fair.
The cherry fair proposition has
given Salem more free advertising all
over the U. s. than any other enter
prise entered into by our city. The
Dalles will not have a cherry fair this
year, and IL is more than ever con-
ceded that Salem Is the strongest
cherry center In oregon.
The cherry crop is not onite as
heavy as last year, although, with
the increased acreage, the value will
probably be as large as ever. The
lateness OF the season may make Il
ditficult to set the date for this years
fair, but II Is now hoped that II can
De held about the middle of July.
