TIRED EAAGGARD CANNON HAS BACK TO WAL
P4|LADELP LPHAS RULERS AND POLICE REVEL IN DEBAUCH Of
BLOOD WOMENS SHR|EKS AND VIOLATED PROPERTY RIGHTS

PHILADELPHIA, March 1S.-A
clash between property rights has
been witnessed in the streets of
Philadelphia during the strike. in
which a crowd of human beings
were caught and mangled.
To begin with, the Philadelphia
baseball club owns it's parks.
The trolley trust dominates the
mayor.
The director of police owns troll
ley stock.
Some $4,000 people, forbidden to
occupy the streets occupied by the
street railway Tor any other
streets) wanted to have a meeting.
The ball park officials gave the
use Of the park which it owned.
But the mayor, dominated by the
trolley and the director of police
owning some trolley stock, didn't
want that meeting held and denied
the right to the baseball people to
do as they please with the park
they own.
So 1900 police barred the gates of
the park and, you see. conflicting
proDerty rights were at grips.
The police wouldn't let the strik-
ers and their friends into the park,
so some one shouted, "On to city
hall" meaning that these voters
would go to the seat of their gov
ernment and find out whether they
had any rights.
1T was not shout of defiance or
a call to arms" as the Philadelphia
North American says.
So the great army of sober. well
dressed men, women and children
moved in line toward the center of
the city. These people were leader
less and entirely unorganized. Some
carried American flags, some sang
popular airs. but most of them
moved along like men do leaving

a ragged laceration and 1t required
about 10 sutures to hold the flesh

Anderson was so dazed that he
