various lines with Increased number
Of cars The members of the idle Sunday
throngs mad been once more transformer
into hard working citizens or were stu
resting from yesterdays exciting expert
ences for little difficulty was experienced
in the operation of any line in the early
part of the day.
Yesterdays record of nearly LOCO cars
operated promised 10 be eclipsed before
tonight Through the central sections
of the city many of the conveyances
were being run without even a single po-
liceman aboard. but in the outlying sec
tions mounted escorts were the rule.
More important than the ability of the
transit company to operate cars is the
possible effect of the sympathetic strike
decided upon by the leaders of every Ia
Dor organization at a meeting held yes
terday. Thiswalkout of 10000 union work
ers is scheduled for next Saturday. I'M
less the differences between the Rapid
Transit company and former employees
have been amicably adjusted before that

lowing unions affiliated with the Central
Labor union have already voted in favor
of the strike:

NOW UP TO CITY
Organized labor having spoken and the
company having stated that there is
nothing to arbitrate, the subject is now
up to the city administration. The de-
cision for a general strike is conditional
on the city of Philadelphia making a
bona fide effort to arbitrate the differ
ence between the company and the men,
The city is a partner in the Philadelphia
, Rapid Transit company, having three
representatives on the board of directors.
The present members are Mayor Rey-
bern, George Ii. Earle, Jr, and William
G. Capter.
Mayor Reyburn's opinion that the prob
abilities of a general strike are very re-
mote vas unchanged by the action of
Central Labor union. The mayor has
questioned whether the labor unions con-
trolled 5000. men or even much more
than a third of that number.
Yesterdays rioting resulted in the
death of a man and a boy, the injury of
two boys from bullets and the wounding
of half a hundred of other persons from
flying missiles and policemens clubs.
More than 100 arrests were made.
At 45th and Lancaster avenues today
the stoning of a car resulted in the cali
ing out OF the police reserves. One man
was badly beaten by the police and sent
TO a hospital
