Vice President In Role of a Guide

such places of interest as usually are
pointed out by the regular guides An
interesting sight was that of Vice
President Sherman going about Statu-
ary hall and picking out the whisper
ing stones,' upon which the girls were
told to stand, while Sunny Jim ar
ranged that they should enjoy the
echo features of that part of the cap
itol. The party went into the house
Of representatives, where Sherman
served for more than twenty years,
and the notables of that body were
pointed out to Miss Taft and her
school girl friends. Kennedy has been
known for years as the king of the
Capitol Guides" because he is so glib
and entertaining. He was told after
the ce-president had made his trip
about the capitol that Sherman could
easily put him out Of the guide busi-
ness if he should engage in that occu-
patton.

10000 ON STRIKE
Sympathetic Walk-0ut of Organ

STRIKERS ARE RIOTOUS

Union Men of All Trades Rally
Around Union Labor Standard to
Eack Up Fight of Trolley Men
Against Philadelphia Car Company.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Disorder in many
parts of the city marked the first day
of Philadelphia's great sympathetic
walk-out CT organized labor to back
up the fight of the trolley men against
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany Nearly every section of the
city had it's tale to tell of cars at
tackled, of men assaulted by strikers,
or sympathizers, or of clashes with
police when the latter tried to dis.
perse the crowds
The scene of the most general dis
turbances was in the very center Of
the city The greatest trouble was
experienced by the police at Indepen.
dence Square, where, despite the an
nouncement by Major Reyburn that
no demonstration could be held on
that historic ground, a crowd esti-
mated at $4,000 persons gathered to
participate in or watch the demon
stration of organized labor.
Policemen, mounted and afoot, were
there by the score with strict orders
to keep the crowd moving This was
accomplished, and it is due to the pa
tience, carefulness and steadiness OF
the police that no serious outbreaks
occurred. A great crowd of strikers
paraded through the square and were
not molested by the police.
There was wide difference of opin.
ion as to the extent of the strike. The
committee of ten of the Central La
Dor Union, which is conducting the
strike, in a statement made, an
nounced that reports show that TO-
eco union men are out and that the
walk-out has affected 10000 other
workers.

Washington.-A sweeping attack on

railroad bill was made in the minority
report from the senate interstate
commerce committee, submitted by
Senator Cummins and Senator Clapp
Not alone is the minority report i'm
portant for the objections it sets forth,
but it will be the basis of the fight
which will be waged in the senate

more stringent.
President Taft and senate leaders
have joined hands to prevent any
amendment Of the bill, except such
as may come from themselves.
For this reason the minority report
and the whole impending fight over
the railroad bill takes on great po-
litical importance. The insurgents
have the backing of shippers in many
sections of the country. Especially
have the Western and Southwestern
cattl growers and shippers shown
