FEDERATION BALKS
At GENERAL STRIKE
Philadelphia Carmen Left to
Shift for Themselves.

Philadelphia, Pc. March 23-The strik-
ing carmen have been left to shift for
themselves by the State Federation Of
Labor and the local unions that main
tained a sympathetic strike for two
weeks
There will be no Statewide strike and
the general strike here is over. More
than $4,000 men returned to work to-day.
II required all OF the influence that c.
o. Pratt could exert to keep the carmen
intact.
In the past twenty-four hours the car
men have come to a realization Of the
hopelessness OF their position. When
they permitted their leaders to throw
down the agreement that Senator Pen
rose forced from the Rapid Transit Com
pany, they alienated practically all of
the labor influences that has given force
TO their strike.
The Kensington Textile and Hosiery
workers passed up the carmen as a bad
proposition. To-day the news came that
the State Federation of Labor was unani-
mously against a Statewide strike.

BATTERY DAN" DEAD.
Police Magistrate of New York Is
Widely Mourned.

New York. March 2S.-The women OF
the streets and the plain drunks had little
10 fear. whenever Police Magistrate Daniel
Z. Finn-he was known better as Battery
Dan"-was serving his two weeks on the
Night Court bench. and so there were ex-
pressions of regret to-day from these
classes all over the city and from almost
all classes IN the First Assembly district,
OF which Battery Dan" long had been the
Tammany leader, when It was learned
that he was dead.
Battery Dam died from a general
breakdown, which began with an attack
of neuresthenia.
He was a fisherman and baseball fan,
booster of New York and its govern
ment. but a "Snocker" of the police.
Battery Dan was one Of the last OF
the old time Tammany leaders of Irish
birth who control great sections of Man
haitian not so much by brain as by brawn.
He was born In Dublin on July IL, 1856 and
was brought to this country while still a
baby in arms. Therefore, all the life that
he remembered was spent in the First
district.
For twenty-five years or more Battery
Dan" had been the most imposing po-
litical figure In that region of shops and
tenaments, warehouses, and Turkish and
Armenian settlements. with an overflow
of Little Italy. He had not been the leader
there officially always during this period,
but he had virtually controlled the region.

This and the fact that the majority of

PHONE GIRLS ANGRY.
Attempt to Interfere with Liberties
Brings On Strike.

Portland. Ind. March 2S.-Because, 1t Is
said, the company sought TO prescribe
rules and regulations not only for their
mode of dress. but also their conduct
both on and or duty, eighteen girls en-
ployed by the Home Telephone Company,
of this city. are on strike.
1t is said the company has undertaken
10 pus ban on low-necked dresses, worn
either on or of duty, and has told the
girls that they must no longer attend
parties or other entertainments which
demand any considerable portion of their
time at night.
The company's position in the matter
is that the wearing of low-necked apparel
gives the girls colds, interfering with
their general efficiency. and that a like
result is also produced by staying up too
late
