The strike situation to-day is chaotic,
none Of the union men seeming to know
from whom to take orders. II is this
chaotic situation that the street car Of
hcials are endeavoring to foster, believing
that in dissension among the unions them
selves can be found a means for breaking
the strike quickly
The arrest Of Pratt has put the striS-
ers and their sympathzers in an ugly
mood.
Favor General Strike.
Pratt was arrested last night as he
was dining with Murphy and Driscol in
restaurant in Ninth street. He took his
arrest calmly. but Murphy was incensed
and declared a general strike was sure TO
follow. 1t is declared union men all over
the city are In favor of the strike and
that If Gompers and Mitchell will sane
tion il every union man here will lay
down his tools completely paralyzing
business.
The arrest of Pratt has done more than
anything else to anger the unionists, and
they are threatening civil and criminal
suits as a result
While the specific cause that led to the
arrest Of Pratt is kept secret II is under
stood to have resulted from a riot in the
afternoon. when several hundred strik-

NO GENERAL STRIKE
IN PHILADELPHIA
Conservative Union Men Say Such Action Will MOI
be Taken---Incensed by Arrest of Praff---
Another Riot in Kensingf0n

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 22.-Although
President John ]. Murphy. of tho Central
abor Union declared he would call gen
eral strike of all the thousands of union
men in Philadelphia, no such action has
been taken officially and the more cool
headed union men declare such action will
not be taken
Murphy made the statement about the
general strike after the arrest and inn
prsonment of c. o. Pratt the leader of
the street car strike. who was to-day held
in 5000 bail on the charge of melting to
riot
Murphy announced carly this morning
that he intended going to Washington to
confer with President Samuel Gompers Of
the American oderation of Labor and
Vice President John Mitchell regarding
the call for a general strike. Later he an
nounced that he had called a general
strike but the various union headquar-
ters announced that they had received no
such official action. Az least 100000 men
would be affected If such strike were
calrct Murphy was greatly excited when
he made his talk about the general strike.
In union circles it Is declared Murphy
has no authority to issue call for a
general strike which would have to come
from the highest officials in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and then only
after conference of the members Of the
executive committee Such meeting has
not been called. It is said, and little cred
ence is given to the statement that a gen.
cra strike will be called, at least for sew
cra days.
Murphy's visit to Washington did not
materialize and it was reported currently
that he had been arrested on warrant
charging him with melting a riot. Infor-
nation as to Murphy's whereabouts was
refused at police headquarters and he
could not be found at union headquarters
Murphy's excited statement that he haC
called general strike was used as q
basis for the story that such strike hat
been called and the newspaper extras
carrying this fact, created great excite
ment throughout the city
Telephone communication with all th'
leading trades unions in Philadelphia re
veaied the fact that no general STRIKE
could be called save in writing, and NJ

TUCSON HAS TWO ROUTES
 ID OFFER FOR RAILROAD

TUCSON. Oct. 25.--(Special)- --Op- tons on tw1 rights of way and two depot sites in Tucson for the Fl Paso q Southwestern. to Dc utilized by the railroad company in case it decides to extend it's line to this city, have been secured by the railriad committee of the Chamber of Com merce consisting of George F. Kilt. president of that organization; c. H. Bayless, chairman of the board of supervisors; Fred Ronstadt, of the F. Ronstadt company; N. E. Plumer. president of the Southern Arizona Bank and Trust company and Hugo Donau, manager of the Albert Stein field company. The right of way and terminal facilities involved in either option will cost approximately $150,- 900.
 Two routes into the city were chosen in order that the Fl Paso & Southwestern might have its choice The first enters the city on the east side, traversing the arroyo. It is planned that the arroyo will be filled with concrete, allowing for a sewer underneath. If this route is chosen the railroad tracks VII thus be on top of the arroyo. Depot and yard facilities, comprising about two acres. were secured at Sixth avenue be- tween the arroyo and the Southern Pacific reservation. The right of way Is 100 feet in width.
 The second route enters the city limits from the south just west of Main street and follows north to proposed depot and yards on Con gress street in the flat pasture used as the camping ground by visiting troops. The line then continues near ly straight north and out of the city. This northward projection contem- plates the extension of the railroad from Tucson to Phoenix.

PROPOSE ID FINISH
 BY NOVEMBER Is

SANTA FEE, x. NJ. Oct. 25.-Al though the convention does not con. vene until late this afternoon, it is certain that the legislative initiative and referendum reports will not be taken up until Wednesday.
 Tonight the most important repub- ican caucus of the session will be held, at which it will probably be determined to adjourn on Noyem- Der Is.
 The ground was cleared for the convention to go into committee of the whole today to take up propo- sition after proposition without delay, so that final adjournment can be taken before the middle of Noyem- Der.
 That all members are determined to get the constitution to Washington by early next February was manifest from the unanimous adoption of a resolution limiting the debate on the initiative and referendum to three hours and the debate on the entire re- port of the committee on legislative t8SuI ing the three hours to be given the initiative and referendum.
 The committee submitted it's en- tire report. It declared against the initiative and provides for a modified, much circumscribed referendum on laws passed by the legislature An- other resolution unanimously adopted was that all committees must make full reports by Wednesday. The committe on corporations has de- cided in favor of an appointive state corporation commission to be bi-par. tisan, each commissioner to serve six years and to be paid 5000 an- nuaily. The commission shall have rate making powers for common car riers and full inquisitory powers as 10 books and records of corporations
