Compared with events or the hrSt
two days of the strike the morning
hours were quiet. There was the usual
stoning of cars in several parts of the
city, but no person was dangerously

CURED in the northeast section, when
two boys were shot by policemen, it
Is alleged. One of the youths was
struck in the chest by a bullet and
seriously wounded.
No hand has yet been raised in an
effort to bring about a peaceful settle
ment of the strike. The Transit COM
pany says: 1T is fight to the bitter
end" Such is also the declaration of
the union. The company is running
cars on the principal lines, but the
service is not regular and few people
venture to ride.
Battle With Strikebreakers.
Mutiny, which broke out among
what are declared to be nearly 800
strikebreakers, kept by the Rapid
Transit company in the trolley barn
at Forty-third street and Lancaster
avenue, resulted in a pitched battle
between a squad of fifty Fairmont
Park guards doing police duty and the
strikebreakers. The disturbance was
caused, 1t is said, because most of the
strikebreakers wanted positions as
conductors and were dissatisfied when
ordered to do 1uty as motormen.
Oscar Hamr. .erstein announced that
the Philadelphia Opera House, where
he gives four performances of grand
opera each week, will be closed until
after the strike is ended and the car
service is normal Mr.. Hammerstein
says he does not care to risk produc-
ing opera to empty benches.
All of the theaters keenly feel the
effect of the stoppage of street rail.
way traffic. With no cars at night
the people remain at home and the
theaters are not even half full

PLOT IN POSTAL
BANK MEASURE: I:
Alleged That Illegal Bill
Will Be Passed.
SITUATION IS PECULl(

Declared That Western Senators,
Firm Believers in the Idea of Gov
ernment Banks, Will Be Compelled
to Vote Against the Legislation on
That Subject Supported by Senator
Adrich and His Friends.
Chicago, Feb. 2S.-A special dis
patch to local paper from Washing
ton says:
With practical assurance given the
president that four of his administra-
tion measures are to be passed by
congress peculiar situation has de-
veloped, full of danger to the ultimate
success of these laws.
"It is asserted on excellent author
ity that congress is prepared to pass
postal savings bank bill which will
not be constitutional, In the hope that
it will be knocked out at an early date
by the supreme court. Such a deter
mination rests not with the men who
have, up to this time, been favorable
to postal savings legislation, but with
the new supporters who have been
swung into line by demands of the
president that such law be passed.
This latter element includes, first
of all, Senator Aldrich and those asso-
ciates of his In the senate who are
Epoup IN . ha fboro,,UhIv oppocad IN
postal savings bank systems as part
of the country's financial structure.
Aldrich has given the president assur-
ances that the postal savings bank
bill will be passed and it is known
now that this legislation will be en-
acted at no distant date.
Insurgents May Oppose Bill.
sit may be one of the anomalies of
the situation, however, that Western
senator's, including the strongest of
insurgents, will be compelled in the
end to vote against the bill which the
Aldrich and Cannon forces are deter.
mined to pass.

into which the presidents measures
have drifted. From a programme
more ambitious than any advocate OF
progressive legislation dared to hope
could be carried out the president has
concentrated upon Quartette Of bills
which he hopes to have enacted.
Opponents of those SO called Roose.
welt policies. to which Mr.. Taft has
brought vigorous support, have been
swept off their feet by the demand
from the nation that some effective
action has been taken. They have
dillydallied along, obstructing and OBJ
jecting, In the hope that they would
have to move only little in the end
But they have found the country sus
picious Of delay and wholly devoid OF
any disposition to forget the history
of the tariff bill and the tariff session.

DEPARTMENT STORE BURNS
Fire lmperils Much Other Property at
Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Feb. 23.-Fire which
started with two explosions destroyed
the structure on West Water street
occupied by the Milwaukee depart
ment store. The entire structure was
in flames before fire alarm could be
turned in and all the fire fighting ap-
paratus in the downtown district was
called to prevent the spread to other
business blocks. A new theater in
process of erection was among the
buildings imperiled, but escaped Sc
rious loss.
Kilbourne lodge, A. F. and A. NJ, oc-
cupied an upper floor of the depart
ment store building and suffered to-
tai loss of its paraphernalia, fixtures
and records. The lodge is about the
oldest Masonic organization in the
state.

No Liquor to Be Sold at Places Where

Chicago, Feb. 23.-"Permit the sale
Of no liquor after May ! in any place

This order, given by Chief of Police

to electrify the South and West Side

GENERAL STRIKE

Sympathetic Walkout Pro-

MAY AFFECT MANY UNIONS

tioHS OF tHe AuViSdpitIty OF Oroer-

Members in Retaliation for the Ar
rest of Strike Leader Pratt.
Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-As a retail
iatory measure for the arrest of Ma
tional Orgarizer G. o. Pratt of the
Carmen's union President John ].
Murphy of the Central Labor union,
which claims membership of 100000
persons, has communicated with the
presidents of all local trades unions
affiliated with the central body ask
ing them the advisability of calling
general strike in sympathy with the
street car men. Mr. Murphy earlier
In the day stated that general strike
had been ordered, but he modified this
later when he announced that the
proposition for a general conflict had
been referred to the various unions.
President Murphy, who had been
up all night in connection with the
strike, said that general strike might
be called by the presidents. Thirty
thousand men and women, he said,
had already expressed a willingness
to quit work to help the street car
men and he felt confident, he added,
that all organized labor in the city
would agree to strike.
Strike Leader Pratt was given a
hearing and held in $4,000 bail charged
with melting to riot, conspiracy and
disorderly conduct. Bail was fur
nished.
Given Power to Call Strike.
The Central Labor union last Sun
day gave the executive power to call
q general strike and whether such
shall be called. Mr.. Murphy said, rests
with the individual unions. The Gen.
trail Labor union is composed of 800
delegates, said to represent 100 unions
In all kinds of trades.
II the order for general industrial
war Is carried out to the letter it will
mean serious consequences for the
city, which probably will be felt in
other places as well.
