ADVOCATE NATION WIDE STRIKE
Pennsylvania Labor Leaders Would

Philadelphia.-The promise of help
from withct and development of

peared to take even the strike leaders
by surprise, injected new life into the
Philadelphia general strike movement

The labor campaign received i'm
petus from the State Federation of
Labor at Newcastle that a nation.
wide tie-up would not be too great a
price for the success of the local
cause. The movement in sympathy
with the striking employees OF the day
invaded what was supposed to be a
citadel OF the opposing forces. The
strike leaders induced over one thou
sand employees of the Baldwin Loco
motive works to walk out Tuesday
afternoon, following the early morn
ing desertion of an equal number.
To the threat of countrywide
strike II the local traction heads did
not agree to arbitration, the company
ing they had said their last word on
arbitration, and If the widespread
strike depended on their yielding, the
strike would come.
Evidences, however were given by
the employees of many classes that
they were confident national strike
would not be forced, and that the
sympathetic movement here would
wear itself out. Several firms an
nounced that their hands were re-
turning to work.

PATTEN PURSUED BY A MOB
Former Wheat King Given Rough
Reception by Enraeed 5ritons at
Manchester Cotton Exchange.

London.-James II, Patten, the Chi.
cago Spectator, was given rough re-
ception on the floor of the cotton ex-
change at Manchester on Friday.
His appearance on the floor of the
exchange was the signal for a hostile
demonstration which resulted in his
forcible election from the exchange
and fight through the streets from
a mob that was prevented only by the
police from doing him serious harm.
Patten was hidden for while in a
business office and later smuggled
into cab and driven to a more Sc.
cure refuge.
Patten was surrounded by the men,
bers of the exchange and Kissed,
hooted and cheered. He fed to the
street, hundreds following him, and
he was surrounded by bowling mob.
The mob hurled epithets and a hun
dred fists were shaken at Patten, who
turned deathly pale as the threatening
crowd pressed closely and seemed on
the point of attacking him. At a crit.
ical moment a strong force of police
arrived, and forcing their way through
the rioters, surrounded Patten, and
moment later they had hustled him
into an office and out of the back door
into a cab, in which he was hurriedly
driven to a railroad station. He took
the first train for Liverpool.

RETAIL DEALERS SAY PACKERS
AND FARMERS ARE REsPoN-
stBLE FOR HIGH PRICES.
Deny That Any Agreement on Prices
Among Retailers Exists and Will
Not Assume responsibility for
Prevailing High Prices.

Washington.-Retail meat dealers
placed upon the farmers and the pack
ers responsibility for the higher price
of meat in testimony given before the
senate committee investigating the in
creased cost of living on Tuesday.
Five retail men from New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washing
IN were heard and Walter Brown, a
Washington dealer who kills his own
1eat, was the only one who did not
admit that the price of meat had gone
up at least 10 per cent during the last
five years.
Mr.. Brown insisted that prices were
practically the same now as then.
All agreed, however, that competi-
ton among the retailers kept the
price to the consumer as low as pos
sible.
Each witness vigorously denied the
retailers were responsible for prevail
ing prices, and none would admit that
any agreement on prices existed
among them.
While no one charged that the pack
ers were in a combination, all the wit
nesses who had dealings with them
declared there seemed to be no com
petition for retail trade. When com
plant was made to the packers about
advancing prices, they said the latter
