Philadelphia, Pa. March 6.-The
calm Of the quietest day Philadelphia
began more than two weeks ago, was
broken tonight by series of distur-
Dances, in which three persons were
shot, one a girl. fatally, many unruly
persons were severely dubbed by the
police, and more than a score of ar
rests were made.
TIL turbulence of the night came as
an unwelcome shock to the hopes of
the authorities that a Sunday was 70
pass by without serious disorders. This
hope had been fostered by the days
pacific aspect, which in itself had been
surprising, in view of the fact that in
creased trouble was anticipated with
the starting yesterday of the general
sympathetic strike called by the union
leaders in support of the striking en-
ployees of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company.
The committee of ten in charge of
the organized strike movement claims
tonight that $4,000 persons in the
various branches of thiladelphia's
widely diversified industry have left
their employment to demonstrate
mer's cause, and help them win their
fight. Figures gathered by the police
department, however. are cited by
Director Of Public Safety Clay to sup
port his previous claim that not more
than 10000 men struck.
