Federal Intervention Is
Only Method Left
For Settlement.
WHOLE STATE TO
GO OUT MONDAY
Strikers Issue Another
Ultimatum to the
Employers.

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.-Fed-
eral Intervention in the street car and
general strike is considered the only
hope of peace. Every effort to have
the question settled amicably appear
to have failed. Charles p Neill COM
missioner of labor, is expected to ar
rive soon to investigate and report to
Washington.
Strike leaders last night sent out
an ultimatu that unless the street
car company consents to arbitration
in 4S hours, every union man in Penn
sylvania will be called out.
Strike leaders have announced that
"a number of men at the Disston saw
works at Tacony went out today. 1t is
claimed the plant will be closed by
night
Minor disorders occurred through
out the day and some cars were stoned.
From all quarters of Philadelphia
the demand for mediatory measures
was voiced. Everywhere it was rec
ognized that failure to arrive at any
arbitral agreement was the only thing
that prevented a speedy ending Of the
general sympathetic strike, which has
paralyzed the industrial life of Fhila-
delphia and which, the labor leaders
say, will spread if the deadlock con-
tinues.
Banks May Take Hand.
The city's banks are requested to use
their influence for arbitration or an
equitable adjustment. Each CONNER
cial body represented was asked to
influence the councilmen to call spe-
cial meetings Of the city councils for
action to induce the company and its
men to come to terms.
The resolution took a wider scope,
however, in directing that a telegram
be sent at once to Seth Low, president
of the National Civic Federation, ask
ing that the federation offer it's SER
vices as arbitrator The traction COM
pany, many thought, would not lightly
cast aside an offer from that body to
act as mediator, and strikers already
have announced that they would well
come arbitration. A petition to Pres
ident Taft, presented by Alfred II Love-
of the Universal Peace union, was nu-
merously signed 5y the business men
men at the close Of the meeting 1t
suggested that the commission for the
promotion of industrial peace, which
has at it's disposal the funds donated
by Theodore Roosevelt, from the NoDei
peace prize, be asked to act in the cris-

Pailleti, aviators, successfully flew
across the Alps to-day.
Chavez was unable to complete
his flight to this city. He fell near
Domo d'Ossola. He was injured
and his aeroplane was damaged.
Pailleti descended at Stresa, but
went up again in a short time and
continued his flight to Milan.
Weymann made several attempts
to cross the mountains, but was
obliged each time to descend again

work properly.

Domo d'Ossola. but a gust OF wind upset
HIS machine at the moment Of allghting.
Chavez fell a distance Of thirty feet. The
motor fell on him. The aeroplsne struck
a rock and was badly smashed.
Chavez had been in the air fifty minutes
when he met with his nishap He reach
ed the point where he met with the acci-
dent at 2:l9 o'clock in the afternoon. He
crossed the simplon Kuhn.
At 1:SO this afternoon the valley was
bathed in sunshine. and there was little
wind under the shelter of the mountains.
Not for five days had there been such
good conditions for trans-Alpine flight.
As Chavez, at sundown. rose the rhythmic
roar of his motor showed that the engine
was sparkling regularly,
The aeroplane rose IN wide circles

the start We're: Whatever happens, l
shall be found on the other side Of the

As he entered the area above the Sim

Icy winds. which seem never TO rest, be-

the stations trembled as the aeroplane
was tossed about like a boat IN a sea-
