fOR GENERAL STRIKE
Sympathetic Strike Will Take
Place Saturday.
MOBS CONTINUE TO DO VIOLENCE.
Cars Are Stoned, Motormen and Con-
ductors Beaten, and the Police Make
Many Arrests.

Phlladelphla, Ia, specialization
fraught with possible momentous
consequences to Philadelphia was
taken by the Central Labor Union
Saturday night when that body, rep
resenting lao unions with member
ship of l25,O0O, it is claimed, voted
to begin a sympathetic strike next
Saturday in aid OF the striking street
railway employees.
This action came at the end OF a
secret session of about 700 delegates
in labor lyceum hall which lasted
more than six hours. There was ap-
parently no question but that the del
egates would vote to strike, the split
being on the question of whether it
would be started Immediately. The
more conservative element prevailed,
however, and the walkout was put off
until next Saturday.
Meanwhile there is hope that the
street railway strike will be arbitrat-
ed, despite the repeated declarations
of the Transit Company, controlling
all the lines in the city, that "there
is nothing to arbitrate.
Following the publication of a
statement that was made by John j.
to have been made by John j.
Murphy, president of the Central
Labor union, that "a general strike
should be CALLED Immediately and
there are men in the Northeast who
can shoot as straight as any trooper
who ever drew breath,' warrant
was issued Saturday night for the
labor leader, charging him with in
citing to riot.
Riots in West Philadelphia and in
the southern part of the city follow
, ed the running of ears Saturday.
, Three cars were held up by an OBJ
struction of the east end of the draw
bridge over the Schulylkill river. A
crowd of men showered bricks.
stones and pieces of wood at the
motorman, conductors and policemen,
who were guarding the ears. A
policeman. with drawn revolver,
forced his way through the crowd and
dragged the injured TO power house.
At the meeting of the board Of di-
rectors of the company Saturday it
was decided that any striker whose
previous record was good would be
taken back, providing he applied for

was sent to the committee of clergy
men politely refusing to submit to
the proposed arbitration. This atti-
tude of the company caused re-
newal of the plans for general
strike.
c. o. Pratt. the organizer Of the
carmen, who has been opposing this
plan. said:
"A general strike will positively
be declared unless the company comes
to terms. We are prepared to fight
for weeks or months. We are not
whipped and the company vii! have to
treat with u.s.
f. T.. Greenwalt. president of the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor,
enid:
"The street car strike has ceased
to he local issue. 1t is now a
national one. The State and Ameri-
| can Federation stand by to give
whatever support is deemed neces-
.sary. The strike will be won.'

President Taft's decision in the
liquor controversy that "whiskey is
whiskey" whether it be blended or
straight, has been formulated in a
set of regulations prepared by the

WASHINGTON NEWS HAPP[N|NGS|

While the boys in the East are
leaving the farms and seeking employ
uent elsewhere there is room for op-
tlmism as to farm life in some parts
of the country, said Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson Tuesday in dis
eussiRg the protection of National
Grange of West Virginia against the
figures in his annual report relative
to the value of the wealth of Ameri-
can farms.
The Secretary said the figures, $8,-
760, 0,000,00O, mentioned in his report
as the value of farm products last
year, merely represented the visible
wealth of the farms of the country,
including stock, cattle, grain, ETC., and
had nothing to do with the cost of
making the crops. He added that
the department had not reached the
point where it was able to give the
net profits of the American farms.
81 KNOW he said ,"that some far.
mers claim that the corn and grain
should not be counted in, along with
the stock, as the grain is fed to the
stock. But doesn't that make the
stock more valuable7"
The grange complained that the fg-
ures were misleading and represented
the farmer rolling in wealth, giving
no data as to the comparatively small
profit he made after the hardest sort
Of work.
Last year, he stated, 1880 boys on
Southern farms raised an acre Of corn
each, and some of them did splendid
work. This year the department is
giving instruction to the young men
in hog raising. "We are trying to
reach the old people through the
young ones,V he said.

On account of the slippery condition

Mrs. Pryale was assisted to a cab and
was taken to her home. where an exam

1t was discovered that her left hip was
broken. Her condition is not thought to
be serious, although it willAoe several

In some places in Gary--especially on
Broadway-the sidewalks are being
badly neglected, and several people have

In this matter. it is for the good of the

doubt about the matter 1t would be
a wise move on the part of the cities

termine just what the effect will be.
Sewers costing hundreds of thou
