PHILADELPHIA STRIKE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 12-Al-
though advices were received to-day to
the effect that Dr. Charles p. Neill,
United States Labor Commissioner.
who acted as mediator in the dispute
between the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and its trainmen, would be asked
to settle the general strike which is
now at it's height in the Quaker City,
when seen to-day by "A representative
Of the United Press. Dr. Neill declared
that he had not been informed of this
fact, and that he would have no auth
ority to intervene even though an ap-
peal was made TO him.
"There is no law which would give
MS the necessary right to intervene
where the Philadelphia strike Is con-
cerned," said DIR. Neill "As / have
before explained, we could not act as
mediators under the Erdman act, for
this act simply relates TO interstate dis
putes, and the Philadelphia troubles
are purely local."

Especial to THE T1xEs)

Indiana Harbor. April THAT re-
duced fare rate question for the school
children between Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago, is stirring up more cor
respondence than anything that has
come to a head in this locality for a
long time.
1t has now been proposed that the
Commercial Club enter into a friendly
suit with the city council, to compel
that body to force the railway COM
pany to live up to the letter OF its
franchise, in order to bring the alter
to time regarding the agreemen to
give the school children the much
fought for reduced fare.
The question has agitated three diff
ferent bodies, beginning with the East
Chicago city council. winding up with
the Interstate commerce commission in
Washington. and taking in the state
Railroad Commission in Indianapolis.
Incidentally the question has stirred
the Commercial club of Indiana Har-
Dor and East Chicago from center to
circumference, and has gotten the en-
tire legal department of the Chicago.
Lake Shore and South Bend interur-
ban line by the ears.
Has the street railway company the
right. or has it not the right to permit
school children attending the high
school in East Chicago and who live
in Indiana Harbor, to ride for less than
the customary rate of five cents per
ride? J. G. Lewis Meyers, the general
council for the railroad declares that
If the reduced rate is permitted the
practice will be an infringement OF
the Inter State Commerce laws. The
IT,
futes the charge and puts the matter
up to the state board of railway COM
missioner in Indianapolis and the
State Railway Commission declares IT
