City Must Step In.
Organized labor having spoken, ana
the company having stated that there IS
i nothing to arbitrate, the subject is now
| nm To the municipal administration. The
decision for a general strike is coudi-
tionaI on the city of Philadelphia max
ing Il bona tide effort t" arbltrate the diff
ferences between the company and the
men.
The city is Il partner IN the Phlladel-
phia Rapid Transit company, having
three representatives on the board of dl-
rectors These representatives are elect
Ell by the two branches of city council
The present members are Mayor Key
burn, George IL. Earle. .Ir, and VIM.
H. Carpenter.
Mayor Rcyburn's opinion that the
probabilities of general strike are very
remote was unchanged by the. acton OF
the Central Labor union. The mayor
said that lie questioned whether the Ia
Dor unions controlled lJ,OOo men, or
/ even much more than Il third of that
number "All that | can see IN their
action is that they hope it may bring
about some settlement" he concluded.
Sundays riotug resulted in the death
of Il man and boy. the injury of TWO
boys from bullets and the woDmding of
half 4 hundred other persons from flying
missiles and pOlccmcu's clubs. More
than 100 arrests were made. At Forty
