PHILADELPHIA TRANSIT COM
PANY APPEARS TO HAVE CON.
FlDENcE IN SITUATION.
CARS IN OPERATION ON
FORMERLY IDLE LINES
Strike Leaders Signify Willingness to
Arbitrate But Company Has Ignored
Offers Of clereymen to Attempt
settIement-sympathetic Strike in
Abeyanee.

Philadelphia, Feb. 25-The transit
company this morning started street
cars on some of the lines that had been
closed since the strike began, and in
creased the number Of cars already in
operation. The cars were not very well
patronized, as people still fear an at
tack may come at any moment. The
strike leaders have signified their
willingness to arbitrate, but the COM
pany as yet has made no definite reply
to the proposition Of the clergymen in
this direction.
Sympathetic Strikes in Allegiance.
Plans for the proposed sympathetic
strike have been deferred for the pres
ent. The striking car men at their
meeting today adopted resolution re-
questing that the strike of other union
men be held in allegiance. AS a result
of this request members Of the central
labor union and the allied building
trades council, which have been busy
planning the proposed strike of all
trades, decided tonight to postpone fur
ther action until the regular meeting
Of their bodies on next Sunday. At that
time it is proposed to appoint commit
tees to prepare to make the strike ef-
fective whenever such action is decided
upon.
Plans for Gripping the service of the
company by a strike at the power
houses were discussed at a meeting of
the stationary engineers and fremen's
union last night. These men were in
executive session until midnight.
Reports that the power houses of the
company would be attacked resulted
in the detailing Of the State Fencibles
to guard these structures. The orders
that they were not to fire having been
withdrawn, these young soldiers say
they will redeem themselves for the in
glorious fasco they made in the Ken
sington district, when they were de-
moralized by being separated and
without the power to open fire on their

Opposition in Senate Hopes to Defeat
Measure.


Washington Feb. 25. All set
speeches on the postal savings bank
bill will be made today, and it Is ex-
pected that the bill will reach a vote
on its final passage in the senate by
| Friday or Saturday. Whether 1t Will
pass is an open question, depending on
what can be done in the way of a sat-
isfactory change in the Smoot amend
ment. With this amendment in It's
present form, the consttutionality of
the bill is questioned by President Taft,
Senator Root and others, the point be-
ing that the amendment repels the idea
that any government function is to
be served by the legislature.
The republican insurgents and demo-
Gratis generally of the senate are not
disposed to yield to the Smoot amend
ment, and If the amendment should re-
main in the bill, it is serious ques-
tion in the minds OF friends of the
bill whether it can muster enough
votes to pass the senate. On the other
hand. if the Smoot amendment should
be stricken out. the passage Of the bill
will also be endangered.
There is talk today of a comblna-
ton of senators opposed to the bill
and friends of the Root amendment.
If successful, such a combination would
attach the Root amendment to the
bill and so put the measure in such
shape as to prevent its real friends
from supporting it.
The combination referred to may
also undertake for the same purpose
to hold the Smoot amendment in the
bill. The purpose of all these maneu-
vers and of the opposition generally is
to divide the supporters of the bill
anu thus prevent the bills passage.
Senator Carter of Montana, who has
charge of the bill on the floor OF the
senate, is busy today seeking to secure
an agreement on the part of senators
to amend the Smoot amendment by n
provision making funds to be collected
under the postal law available for the
purchase of government bonds in time
of war, the funds meanwhile to remain
lected This suggestion of Senator Car
ter's would meet the point of President
Taft, Senator Root and others that the
law, to be constitutional, must provide
that the funds collected shall serve
some federal purpose.
Several insurgent senator's, among
them Dolliver, look with some favor on
the Carter proposition. Should the bill
be passed without meeting this consti-
tutional point, the courts would at once
be appealed to for a. decision. The
enemies of the legislation would rely
on the legal judgment Of such men as
the president and Senator Root, and go
to the supreme court, feeling quite sure
of victory.
