Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 27.-Acton
fraught with possible momentous
consequence to Philadelphia was
taken today by the Central Labor
Union tonight when that body, repre-
senting lao unions with a claimed
membership of 125,O00, voted to begin
a sympathetic strike next Saturday
to aid the striking street railway EN-
ployes.
This action came at the end of a
secret session of 700 delegates, which
lasted for six hours. There was ap-
parently no question but that the
delegates would vote on strike, the
split being on the question of whether
it would be started Immediately, The
more conservative element prevailed,
however. and the walkout was put Off
until next Saturday. Meanwhile there
is hope that the street railway strike
will be arbitrated.
Nobody doubts that tonight's action
of the Central Labor Union makes the
situation very grave. There is strong
feeling, especially among the business
people, that the strike should be set
tied speedily as all lines of business
win suffer because of the stagnation
resulting from the interference with
trafiic.
Must Fight For Union.
There is much surprise at the
unani.nity of the vote in favor Of a
general sympathetic strike. For sew
eral days the meeting today had been
discussed and there has been mixed
sentiment as TO the wisdom of calling
out all classes of workmen. The lead
ers OF the various trades unions said
today they opposed a general strike
because it involved matter Of
broken trade agreements. Others
doubted the ability to order all work.
men to lay down their tools and have
the order obeyed. There is no doubt,
however, OF the strength of feeling
that unionism is at stake, and con
sequent feeling that a fight to pre-
serve the union Is necessary.
This sentiment, without doubt, pre-
vailed at todays meeting. AS the
gathering was secret little of any
authoritative nature can be learned of
what transpired behind the barred
doors.
Great crowds Of working people
gathered outside. Every labor union
in Philadelphia in any way connected
with the American Federation Of
Labor participated in the conference
today.
Two separate meetings were held.

Washington, Feb. 27.--Taft and
Wickersham insist that the admins

shall be enacted substantially at in
Toduced, including the provision
creating an interstate lcommerce
court.
Wickersham for three hours today
was piled with questions by the
house committee on commerce and
on Monday will continue calculating
the administration precise position.
The indications are that the bill viii
be reported practically as introduced.
1t was reported that Chairman Mann
and Attorney Ge>rra Wickersham
had a serious disagreement today
but several members fthe commit
tee denied the story Mann declared
1t was false.
Wickersham urged the adminis-
trations attitude as to the essential
ity OF the commerce court feature.
Upon this Mann and others of the
committee will take issue He said
that only four members Of the com
mittee are now in favor of establish
ing the court, but may yield to the
administration view.
Mann's opposition Is based on the
contention that such tribunal is abb
solutely unnecessary, that the duties
proposed to be assigned to it could
just as effectively and speedily be at
tended to by the interstate commerce
commission and circuit courts.
There is conciliatory attitude in
the committee, however and a dispo,

ton of peaches that had to be packed
before the following day.
There seems TO be a great dissatis-

price paid them for their peaches. For
liberia peaches the grower only gets
so cents bushel. The man who has
no facilities for hauling his peaches
