Mr.. Kahn was tesufying in the gov
eminent suit to dissolve the Union Pa
cific-Southern Pacific merger. Hartman
he said, had not bought the Southern
Pacific to extend his influence, but Tath-
er to conserve what powers he had and
to safeguard his strategic position. The
Union Pacific then reached the Pacific
coast over the tracks Of the Southern
Pacific and there had been rumors after
interests hostile to the Hartman roads
were negotiating for the purchase Of the
Southern Pacific
What Hartman Wanted.
Among the interests were understood
to be the GOulds. What the Hartman
lines wanted was not the Sunset route,
but the gateway of San Francisco 10 the
Orient.

the government, that if you could have

continued the easiest way would have
been to buy the Atchison and the Rock

Listened to Advice.
Mr.. Hartman, Mr.. Kahn went on, had
come to his bankers with such a pro-
posal They believed in Harriman's ge-
MUS and Mr. Hartman believed in him
self. but Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had advised
against such a proposal and Mr. Harri-
man had hardened. 1t was too big an
undertaking, they thought, for one man
to swing After Harriman's death, the
Union Pacific had bought an additional

The day was the ouietest since the call
ing of the general strike. Tonight there
was absolute quiet up to late hour, ac7
cording TO police reports, and every indi-
cation that the night would pass without
serious outbreaks.
Mayor Reyburn late today said that the
sympathetic strike was over. so far as
the city administration was concerned,
adding that the aftermath could safely
be left to the police TO handle. Word
that the order for federal troops had been
cancelled indicated that the authorities
believed the worst of the trouble was over
The transit conditions, to every appear
ance, showed continued Improvement TO-
day and tonight. There was less neces-
Sity for the presence of the police on the
cars. and even timid people are begin
ming to show disposition to eide
Less Than 10000 Out.
The police made careful canvass today
of the citys industries to ascertain the
number of men on strike. The returns
tabulated by Director Clay showed that
IS. 407 persons had responded to the general
strike cab.
The police did not attempt to explain
the discrepancy between these figures and
those of labor leaders. who say 100000 or
$780, 600 men are on strike. The labor lead
ers scoffed at the police figures.
According to the police, establishments
affected by the sympathetic strike en-
ploy 54,954 hands. There are 12l,5S9 EN-
plOyes in other establishments not al
fected by the strike, and this gives by
the police figures, a total of 1888 en-
plOyes, of which only ,407 are out.
Many have quit work, Ii is declared, not
from sympathy for the car men. but be-
cause they have been forced by the action
of certain branches of their trades.
For instance, it is said, at a carpet MILL
800 Overs quit work. and this compelled
the closing of the plant and the enforced
idieness Of $500 other employees.
Measure of Precaution.
The commandment of the Philadelphia
navy yard today issued an order forbid
ding leave of absence to men on any YES
sci az the yard during the strike troubles.
Secretary Neil Bonner of the Retail
LIQUOR Dealers association announced
that the association has requested its
members, as well as other cafe proprie-
tors. to close their bars should disorder
occur in the vicinity and keep them closed
until the trouble subsidies. A willingness
on the part of the proprietors to comply
with the request was indicated.
One of the incidents of the day was q
parade of small band of men. which
was broken up by the police, without just
cause. the men claim. As the marchers
passed hosiery mill, they attempted TO
persuade the factory employees to join the
| sympathetic strik.
police claim that the marchers became
disorderly. Clubs were used freely, and
1 two arrests We're made.
