SERVICE is RESUMED.


SERVICE Is RESUMED.
In spite of yesterdays severe riot
ing the Philadelphia Rapid Company
started their early morning schedule
without apparent interruption by the
strike sympathizers. The first cars
left the various barns at a. M.
twelve hours after the service had
been discontinued.
Refreshed BY Fest. the .motormen
and conductors who. had slept in the
barns on cots provided by the com
pany, manned the cars protected by
policemen on both the front and rear
platforms. NotEa fnissile9was thrown
on the early tripsssbut the cars were
not well filled with passengers.
Persons willing to ride"were deter
red from fear of injury.
The strike leaders, wearied by yes
terday's strenuous work, rested until
late this morning and no statements
were given out at union hearquarters.
Beyond the statement that "all lines
are in operation with the full quota of
cars" the officials of. the transit COM
pany also declined to comment on the
situation.
Conspicuous on the lapels of the
working motormen and conductors
was the insignia of the keystone
union, the rival of the Amalgamated
association, of which the strikers are
members.
The former union was founded by
men who remained loyal to the com
pany during last years struggle and
is not affiliated with any other body
The present trouble began when the
officials of the company treated with
the members of the Keystone union
against the wishes of the members
of the Amalgamated association. The
latter body made the request of the
Rapid Transit Company officials tina
no other union be recognized. This
recognition of this union was one Of
rhe main points at issue.
SWEAR IN MORE MEN.
One thousand men on the eligible
list for policemen and firemen were
sworn in yesterday and the city hal
this morning was the scene of great
activity among the police officials who
were preparing to swear in 5000 ad
ditional men at the first sign of fur
Their lawlessness.
The officials of the company start
ed their operations today with a grin
determination to run cars on all lines
where it was possible to get men.
Every one of the thousands OF
brick throwing yesterday" said an of
ficer of the company, has merely
served to strengthen the determine
ton of the company to spend every
cent the company possesses and to U.S.
every car the organization owns tC
operate the system. There will be ne
surrender"
National Organizer Pratt, of the
car mems union. said: "Our mer
are better organized and better dis
ciplined than they were in the las
strike and they stand up like sol
diers. II the company could not de
feat our raw recruits last summer
the officials will not now break the
ranks of our veterans"
Representatives of the corporation
admitted today that 1000 men re
fused to take out cars yesterday.
5000 ON STRIKE.
This statement is denied by th'
strike leaders who declare that NOR
than 5000 are on strike. One eX
PLANTATION of the discrepancy is tina
many of the trolleymen who wished
to continue work did not report al
they were in fear of being injured.
II was estimated today that ont
hundred persons were injured yeste1
day. chiefly by stones or other mis-
siles. Few people, however, were sc
riously hurt. One of the latter,
little girl who was shot while watch
ing boys attack a car, probably vii
recover.
