WHAT STRIKE AvA1LED.

are prolonged, and the idea L. we'll
Illustrated in the closing situation in
Phiiadelphia. where . strike Of the
carmen has been in force since early
In February. The strike there is end
|ed-but not settled. The men are
going back to work as fast e places
can be provided for them. and even
tho company has shown Q most decid-
|edly generous spirit in paying the
men s. per day until they can be put
to work.
What brought the strike on, 1t is
admitted In Philadelphia, was the ef-
fort Of the union to make Its organ
Iisation the dominating factor in the
affairs Of the employees OF the COM
pany. This the company declined to
permit the union to do, and set out
at once to destroy the influence OF the
union or make it impossible for the
influence Of the union to become a
factor with the company's employees.
The rupture was precipitated on the
part of the company, when it dis
charged one hundred and seventy
four men without a hearing as pro-
vided for in the agreement the union
had with the company.
BY the terms which the men re-
sumed work it is said that they have
gained absolutely nothing for which
they were contending, except, posi-
bly,, that one hundred and seventy
four men are to have their cases ar
bitrated.
The three partles to the contro-
versy are the company, the union and
the public. Each has been a very
heavy loser as a result of the strike.
The company has lost millions in be-
ing unable to operate its cars to the
full capacity, and the expense Of con-
duc.ing the fight, which has been
waged relentlessly since early in Feb
ruary. The carmen have lost nine
weeks pay. and those who held posi-
tons of seniority with the company
are forced to begin over again after
their long years of service had
brought them in high standing. The.
public is the third factor which has
suffered much in money. much in the
shedding Of blood, for the riots at
times yer of a character as to bring

DISCIPLINE FOR 100
N4V4L OFFICERS DID

May Be Tried by Court Mar

of Order.
COASTERS IN CENTRAL PARK.
From The Tribune Bureau.


Washington. Jan. 15.-The prospect Of
disciplininG. perhaps in some cases to the
extent Of trial by court martial, about
one hundred commissioned officers con-
fronts the naval authorities The final
returns of the officers who were required
by Presidential order to ride or walk
prescribed distance in a specified time IN
the calendar year 1909 show that about
two hundred officers have failed to take.
or have failed in taking, what is known
as the annual physical test. In every
case where the test was not undertaken
or completed the Navy Department has
called on the officer for an explanation
In few cases which have come to the
attention of the department the officers
are regarded as furnishing no valid ex-
cuse. and in at least one instance an
officer has been reprimanded in an Off
cial letter and required to complete the
test without delay. It will be placed 10
his credit for the last year. and he must
take another test in 1910.
In about half of the cases reported to
the department the excuses are accept
able. They show that officers were ad
vised against taking the test by the
naval surgeons, or that they attempted
to complete the test and were prevented
for one reason or another, sometimes by
the weather, as in the case of those in
Philadelphia and New York, who put off
their test until the last few days of the
year. and then encountered a severe
snowstorm- In a few cases officers were
injured in the walk or ride, and in others
officers have been pronounced in need Of
slight surgical operations or special
treatment in hospitals before they took
the test
This leaves, however, about one hun
dred officers who did not take the test at
all, and many Of whom apparently made
no effort to comply with the executive
order. What action shall be taken in
these cases has become a serious ques-
ton Officers who promptly complied
with the requirements are awaiting the
result with keen interest The naval
authorities understand that something
must be done as an example To those
who may be regarded as in the attitude
CT defying or disobeying orders. II is
realized that this situation cannot be
lightly passed over, but it is out of the
question of course to court martial so
many, and ii is presumed that every
has some sort OF excuse which he can
present TO IL court, leaving doubt as TO
the exact extent of his culpability.
