CONDITIONS BETTER 2. ; N PHILADELPHIA
 i;; 3 : BUT CARS ARE ONLY OPERATED WITH POLICE PROTECTION. A New and Dangerous Method of in- tsrferring With Traffic.

Philadelphia. Feb. 24-Surface cars were operated on the principal streets until midnight for the first time since the beginning of the strike. Guarded by state police the cars continued to run, even through the turbulent mill districts of Remington and Erankford. Although the company reported that elghty-four cars had been stoned to- day. no disturbance was permitted to reach serious proportions All out breaks were quickly quelled by the po- lice and not a riot call was sent in.
 The officials of the company refused to comment on the request of the com mittee of churchmen that the griev- ances of the strikers be submitted to arbitration.
 - Only one-third as many arrests were made today as yesterday. A new and dangerous method of showing antipa- thy to the company was adopted by the crowds of boys in the uptown dis trict late this afternoon when soap was used on the rails. The crowd soaped down grade. The next car slipped down the slippery rails, but came to a halt before crashing into the preced ing car. and the mob was driven away. Plans for crippling the service of the company by strikers and powerhouse employees were discussed at a meeting of the stationary engineers and the firemen's union today. The session lasted until after midnight
 Reports that the power houses will be attacked resulted in detailing fem cibles to guard the structures.
 At the offices of the company long line of unemployed are seeking places as conductors and motormen. The company is advertising for 2.000 at 22H cents per hour and guarantee of an early increase. Many boy rioters arrested the last few days were talk en into the juvenile court today, a penitent lot and the majority paid dearly for the fun of attacking the cars. All promised to be good, but their promises have no weight with the court Some will stay thirty days in the house of detention and others until the strike is over.
 There is no delay in the mails.
 Late tonight a pile of tubs and bar rels were placed on the tracks. some distance above the territory patrolled by the state police. When a car reached the obstruction it was showered with bricks. The police hurried to the scene and fired at the rioters. A youth was shot in the back and locked up.
