NOT WILLING

President Taft Unable to See
His Way Clear to Take a
Hand in the Great Struggle
Now On in Philadelphia.

the four mediums through which
PhiIadelphia hoped q strike set

~ AlLADAc1sFHiAs March 1.-TWO Of
the feur mediums through which
Philadelphia hoped strike set
Element might be reached were today
practically eliminated
Yesterday it was hoped that either
President Taft, the bankers of PhiIadeI-
phia, the National Civic Federation or
the local cOuncilmanic bodies would
find way 40 lend a hand to stop the
strife.
Today word came from Washington,
unOfficially, but on seemingly good au-
thOritN, that the President, through the
department of commerce aud labor,
could not see his way clear 10 inter
Yene.
The reason siver fas tAat the trou-
BILE Il purely of a local cb, racter.
Bankers declared hat the financial
interests probably would keep hands
off the fight Frank b. Reeves. presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Clearing
House association, took a strong stand
on the question of exclusive recogni-
ton Of its organization. Mr.. Reeves
said today;
q cannot see how our financial in
stttutions can bring their powers to
bear in any way that will help to- solve
the problem"
Whether the National Civic Fedora
ton viii take up the strike settlement
and the councilmen can be forced to
take action, remains to be seen: An
other telegram was sent today to Seth
that that body offer mediation. Mr.
Low replied the federation would do
so if he could be assured the offer
would be acceptable to both sides.
There was no change today in the
general strike situation. Employers
predict that Monday will see the be-
ginning of a general break among the
sympathetic strikers, and dozens of To-
cal unions held meetings today and
tonight to lay plans to hold the men
together.
Union bakers employed by a big de-
partment store have gone on strike
and seriously crippled the supply of
bread sold at that store.
There was the usual number of dis
turbanees in the Kensington district
late this afternoon. Many cars were
stoned, but at only one place did the
police have trouble.
It was noticed today that the police
refrained from using their clubs in
dispensing crowds.

BROTHERHOOD VOTED
IN FAVOR OF TROUBLE
Managers Have Definitely Re-
fused the Demands of the
Men and Nothing Remains
But Order to Cease Working.
HOPE is FOR ARBITRATION

HICAG0, March Admissions
we've made on both sides tonight
that the controversy between $4,000
firemen operating on 100, 900 miles Of
railroad west, northwest and south
west of Chicago, and the railroad
managers, had become critical, and
that the question of a strike, tying
up practically all the systems be-
tween here and the Pacific coast,
would be settled within 48 hours.
President w s. Carter OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive F1remen and En-
ginemen, on behalf of the firemen, today
sent to the general managers committee
of the railroads request for clear
statement of the employers position. The
brotherhood asfed for information on
three points, viz:
Increased wage scale, which the rail-
roads say would amount to an Increase
of 221A per cent. but which the firemen
insist would only equal 121s per cent
The right of the union to represent the
firemen after they have been prom ted
either TO be engiHemen or to any other
capacity.
The right OF the union to have author
ity in questions of seniority or the pro-
motion of old-time employees.
. N previous H6EOflhtlOuS the UtOtnEI-
hood said 1t was willing to submit the
wage question TO arbitration under the
Erdman act. provided the other two.
points were settled without the aid of
third party.
Reply of the Managers.

ayers committee tor light that an an
sWer was ordered semi 10 President Car
ter denying this request, and leaving II

10 take what future course they think

said the recent vote showing moro than
80 per cent of the men 20 be sgainst ac-
eepting the offer OF the railroads would
enable the national officers TO call
strike at any time.
Negotiations have been on for six
weeks. About forty-seven western rail-
roads are involved. If strike were
called, II is said 25.O00 other employees
would be forced to quit work
Situation Critical.
At today's meeting ten general man
ayers were present. At the close of the
session, a member of the committee said:
Although we confidently hope to reach
an agreement on arbitration, the silva
lion is most critical In the face of the
so-called strike vote, We have told the
men we will not grant the two points
they ask before submitting the wage dis
pute TO arbitration.
"A strike at this time certainly would
not be wise We do not wish to alarm
the business interests of the country, ami
we shall exert every influence TO induce
the brotherhood TO continue to act in 2
friendly spirit. We trust the whole mat
ter will he settled by Monday"

Joint conference of miners and opera
tors to agree upon new wage scale,

This was the explanation offered TO-
night by 7. L. Lewis, president of the

a statement credited to him earlier,
to the effect that strike was sure
to follow the refusal of the coal mine
owners of the central competitive
field to meet the demands of the men.
President Lewis declared that his re-
marks had been misconstrued and that
there was little foundation for the pre-
vious report.

uation concerning the demands of the
miners of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana remains unchanged.
