Which Would Have Produced
Food Famine in City Of
Philadelphia.
Miners Go to Meeting 10
Settle Question.
THOUSANDS ARE INTERESTED.

Philadelphia, March 14.-A general
strike of grocery clerks, causing q
food shortage in the city, was pro-
posed by strikers yesterday but was
unsuccessful. Most OF such employees
are working as usual today. The
situation is quiet.
Attracted by a fire in a boxcar
filled with hay on a railway siding at
kensington, a crowd of several thou
sand persons collected late Sunday
afternoon. Small boys threw stones
at some of the police and later the
windows Of a number of cars were
broken before the reserves got the
crowd under control. Aside from this
outbreak, cars were run without mo-
lestation, and there were more cars
in operation than on any Sunday
since the strike began.
The police and company officials
agree In the statement that the situ-
alton is improving hourly. The
rough element, which the company
was compelled to hire when the
strike was suddenly sprung, is being
weeded out and better class of
men now operates the cars.
"And we are getting the fares,
too" declared an official. Where
two weeks ago 100000 fares were
collected in one day, yesterday 7b0,-
600 fares were turned in. This Is,
of course. accounted for In part by
the fact that we are running more
cars and people are using them more
freely"
The question OF the settlement of
the strike is still the uppermost
thought in the minds of the citizens
of Philadelphia. Nearly everybody
considers arbitration as the natural
method. but how to arbitrate is the
question, when the company insists
there is nothing to arbitrate.
Won't Recognize Union.
The officials and directors stick to
their original declaration that the
union will not be dealt with, and
they are apparently just as deter
mined today as they were three
weeks ago. The officials of the
AmdiB dLudtcu OdTntu UNION are
just as determined that no settle
ment will be accepted that does not
include full recognition of the un-
ion. And there the matter stands.
The company offers to take strik-
ers back and does not demand that
they shall drop their union mem
bership. but II insists that the union
shall cut no figure in any peace nego-
tiatlons. In other words, 1t Is for
the "open shop plan. 1t Is not be-
lieved any effort to secure outside
intervention or the meditation of the
civic federation, President Taft, Gov
ernor Stuart or any one else, will
bear fruit.
! The company officials are silent re-
garding the action of the Interstate
Railways company in increasing to
23 cents an hour the wages OF motor
men and conductors in Trenton.
Reading. Wilmington. Chester. Le-
banon and Norristown. The Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit company at
present pays 22 cents an hour with a
promise of an increase to 23 cents
on July 1. to men employed more
than one year.
