TODAY IN HISTORY

One Of the most notable events of
today in history was the beginning
Of the celebrated impeachment trial
of Warren Hastings. Hastings was
an English statesman who had been
Governor General Of India. He en-
tered upon the duties at the begin
Oing Of 1874. He vas charged with
u~nscrupuloua ~eXpadients to raise
money almost at the beginning Of his
Governor s~eneralsllip. This VAS but
one Of numerous grave charges. His
rial, which began on February 10.
17SS, lasted until April %, 1875. and
finally after seNeral long years, dur
ing which time were made some of
the greatest speeches cver delivered
in the British House OF Commons.
Hastings was acquitted.
Hastings was undoubtedly a man
of great industry. and lah0rnd nm

WHAT RADICALS HAVE GAINED
Do Not Expect Representation on
New Rules Committee, But As

Principle and Can Administer

ever They See Fit..-Attitude Of
Democrats.

Washington. March 21.-The insur.
gents as a body are not inclined to
/ fight for representation on the reor-
/ ganized house committee on rules.
There is a general understanding
among them at present that they will
enter the Republican caucus to be
held within a few days as individuals
and not as members of the insurgent
band.
This moderation of the insurgents
after their notable victory over the
Cannon organization is working
strongly for a better understanding
among the Republican forces in
Washington. The organization lead
ers themselves, with possible excep-
tion of Speaker Cannon, are inclined
to be conciliatory, and they are say
ing that no attempt will be made to
nominate committee Objectionable
to the radicals.
The regulars have already received
assurance from many OF the insur-
gents that DalZell of Pennsylvania
and Smith of Iowa. who served with
Speaker Cannon on the old commit
tee. will be acceptable on the new.
The regulars have made no attempt
as yet to get together on the remain
ing four members to be nominated by
the Republican caucus, but 1t is pretty
generally admitted that Representa-
tive Mccall of Massachusetts, will be
one of them. The Pacific coast states
will get one representative on the
committee, and the choice seems to
lie now among Allis or Hawley of Or
egon and Kahn of California. For the
remaining two places the names Of
Stevens of Minnesota and DENLY or
Townsend OF Michigan are being men,
toned more frequently than any
others.
There is method in the decision of
the insurgents not to force q fight on
the personnel question. They want
their struggle in the house to go be,
fore the country as one that has been
waged entirely on principle, and they
fear that any attempt to carry the
struggle On in regard to the person.

Philadelphia. March 21. - United
States Senator Penrose broke the
strike. One by one lie called before
him the reluctant directors Of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
and forced them to accept the terms
that were outlined last Friday night
by powerful interests. President Kru-
ger of the p r. T. halted and pro-
tested. Clarence Wolf. the vice pres
ident, hailed from Atlantic City by a
telegram from Penrose, argued un-
availingly. Ballard, the chief counsel,
tried to smooth the retreat of the P.
r. T. Nothing served to move the
man who had become the boss Of the
situation.
Penrose brought his hand down on
the big table in his office with bang
that shook the chandeliers. He said
that he would break the company into
smash and scatter the pieces over the
streets If they continued TO hold out
another hour. He told them that he
would use every ounce of power ne
had to smash the company if they
continued to back and fill

ed at a receivership. He spoke as a

men dance when the right strings are
pulled. He dared The directors to risk
action by the common and select
councils.
Kruger, Wolf and Ballard played
for delay. They wanted the man who
had been their friend through all the
trouble, Mayor Reyburn, to get the
credit for settling the strike. Senator
Penrose waived all suggestions aside.
There were two hours of pleading on
one side and flat-footed dictation on
the other.
The Rapid Transit officials caved
in. They agreed to everything that
Senator Penross demanded, guaran.
teeing terms that give the carmen's
union nine-tenths of everything they
demanded. Even recognition of the
union, through a griey.

pitulation. First of all the company

agrees to take back all of the men on
strike and to restore them to their
old runs and their priority on the
wage and promotion lists. The pro.
viso is made that If the company is
unable at once TO restore all of the
old men to their jobs il shall pay SO
q day to all that are kept waiting,
and that these shall receive their for.
mer jobs within two months.
The status of the 173 motormen and
conductors who were discharged for

for the good of the service-the act
which precipitated the strike-is to
be left to a board of arbitration of
three men. The company is to name

ger, no doubt; the union is to name
the second, Timothy Driscoll, in all
probability, and these are to select
the third. In agreeing to this the
company knuckles down to the prin-
ciple of arbitration, which it had un-
compromisingly held out against up
to the last hours of the fight
The company must, according to
the terms, deal with its employees
through a grievance committee of 19
men, one from each barn. In this the
strikers lose sole recognition of their
own union. They are entitled TO a
representative from every barn they
control. This grievance committee OF
10 is to select subcommittee, the
number OF which has not been settled
yet, which Is to deal directly with the
p. r. T.. officials whenever differences
arise.
The strikers won point in the
matter of wages. By their old agree
ment they were to receive 23 cents
an hour, beginning June /, 1910. They
were getting 22 cents when they
struck. BY the agreement forced by
Senator Penrose the" go back to work
at % cents an hour and they will be
raised to 231a cents on June next

pany and for whom places may be
found are to receive 22 cents an hour.
