Philadelphia. March 9.-There was
great Indignation todau over the
shooting OF innocent bystsnders in a
riot last night. one OF whom was n
young girl. Noncombatants suffered
more than the opposing parties. There
are many charges today that the
strtkebreakers and the policemen are
responsible for the majority OF the
riots. II Is declared today that the
general strike is Unsuccessful because
Of a lack of concerted action by
unions and indlvidual union men.
All Philadelphia hopes that the
city-wide movement begun yesterday
by the United Business Mems asso-
clation 10 bring quick end to the
great labor conflict that has kept the

moll for more than two weeks. will
meet with greater success than the
efort made last week by the same
body. This organization asked the
Philadelphia RAPID Transit company
and Mayor Reyburn to arbitrate the
differences existing between the COM
pany and the mon, but was given no
satisfaction.
The association, which includes
practically every business maQ OF ans,
standing In Philadelphia, will now on
large the movement by taking In
other organizations that stand for the
progress OF the city. Thus reinforced.
tho members expect TO make a united
endeavor in the interest OF peace and
general welfare.

part OF the city. has suffered to an
extent not known In years. and II is
feared the heavy spring and Easter
trade will he seriously disturbed n
