n PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 19. -
The destruction Of cars, at
= tacks on nonunion crews by
mobs of several thousand men, the
injury of number of woman pass
engers, frequent clashes between
details of armed policemen and the
Wounding of several of the blue
coats, marked the earlier hours of
the second strike Of Amalgamated
Garments union, employees of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit CON-
pany, declared here this afternoon.
FIREMEN ARMED WITH CLUBS
All the polio and firemen in the
city have been dragged into SER
vice and are armed with revolvers
and clubs. 1t is feared that out
breaks will become more frequent
later, when aided by darkness, the
infuriated crowds can descend up
on the barns and power houses OF
the company and attack them with
out seriuos danger of becoming
victims of the bullets of the blue
coats.
The strike today was started
without a moments warning. 1t
follows nine months of constant
dissension between the traction
company and the union as the re-
suit of charges on both sides of
bad faith in regard to the fulfill
ment of the terms of agreement
which ended the weeks strike
last June. The walkout today was
precipitated by the wholesale dis.
charge of union employees. H. O.
Pratt, national organizer and strike
leader, declared that since last
night more than 600 union men
have been discharged without
cause other than that they were
union members. The company as
serts that only 173 were dropped
from the payrolls for "the good of
the service"
Immediately after the order to
strike had been issued by the ex-
ecutive committee of the carmen's
union the trolley men began desert
ing their cars. BY two o'clock it
was stated by the union that 5000
out of the $500 employees of the
company were on strike. Tonight
the leaders declare that $500 are
out. The officials of the trasit
company declare that but 1900 men
have deserted them. They assert
that during the rush hours tonight
they were operating 1900 cars and
that tomorrow 1040, the regular
Sunday number, will be on the
streets. The indication, however,
from the deserted tracks, are that
it will be difficult for the company
to live up to its statement. The
rioting which exceeded even the
worst which occurred during the
last strike, began two hours after
the strike order was promulgated.
In the mill district where the SYM
pathy for the strikers is keen, more
than 5000 men attacked the nonun-
ion men of suburban trolley.
After bombarding the car with
stones the mob drove the crew
from the car, chasing them to a
nearby police station and then

But Colonel Bill, or, rather,
Colonel Cody, is now doing big
things out in the Big Horn valley

Shoshone Irrigation Co. he is
largely instrumental in providing
homes for thousands of eastern
farmers upon the once arid lands
of the Big Horn BASIN
In the words of Colonel Bill: "It
is not the man who comes to the

acres that will find the most for
his time and money; it is the man

SIX VOTES
To DUST
c. TUERKE
THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
SCALP IN DANGER OF
BEING TAKEN.
SEVEN VOTES NEEDED
TUERKE Is IN DAILY CONFER.
ENCES WITH HIS
ADVISERS.

1t now transpires that the charges
against Judge Webster that led to the
trip Of Carl w. Tuerke to cynthIana,
KY, were on file in Spokane as Iona
ago as last September and that
Tuerke knew Of their presence and
contents. So It was not mere
chance, to crafty a personal desire
for information, that led the police
commissioner to take the trip to the
Blue Grass state, but for the pur-
pose Of verifying by actual investl-
cation the charges filed against the
Judge, for later use during the cam
paign.
It was learned last night from an
influential member of the city coun-
Gil that there is strong probability
that an effort will be made to line
up seven votes to take Tuerke's
scalp at the regular meeting next
Wednesday night. Strong pressure
has been brought to bear on men,
bers of the city council from outside
urging that they vote to remove

terday afternoon with John e.
Blair, assistant corporation counsel,
who, while charged WITH beiHS IN
the plot against Judge Webster, has
stoutly denied any connection with
it. Tuerke has the backing of May
or Pratt, H. D. Merritt and John
Lee, the right hand man Of the big
political boss at the city hall.
Strong forces are moving to the
defense of Tuerke and there is
question in the minds of some
whether or not the city council will
have the courage to undertake to
remove the police commissioner.
There is the belief that six votes
are ready to remove him, but the
rub will be to get the seventh. No
step will be taken against Tuerke
unless the seven votes can be
found.
