THE STRIKE SITUATION
No Indication For Peace Yet
Established

Philadelphia. Special.-After a
week of peace talk and innumerable
conferences between union leaders
and pcacemakers. the striking mo-
tormen and conductors and the Off
cials of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company are apparently still far
apart. There is. however, on both
sides better feeling which might
lead ut any time 10 the opening of
negotiations. In no peace conference
yet held has the transit company been
directly represented. 1t is said that
the informal peace meeting will con-
tinue until common ground can be
found on which to bring both sides
together.
President Mahon Of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees. has an
nounced that all peace negotiations
between the strikers and the peace
makers, so far as he and the car
mems union is concerned, are off
1t is now 20 days since the strike
and the fifteenth of the general walk
out. There have been few desertions
from the ranks of the trolley men
but there is slow movement to-
ward Il return TO work on the part
of the general strikers. The return
is not universal, but each day finds
a few more men going back, so that
there Is not nearly the great num-
ber idle which there was i'll the first
few days of the sympathetic strike.
President Greenawalt of the Stau,
Federation of Labor, is still deter
mined TO put the Statewide strike
into effect. He said he hoped such
action would not be necessary but
he saw no way in which to delay
carrying out the instructions of the
recent State convention.
The dynamiting of three cars in
different parts of the city Saturday
are the first acts of violence report
ed Ill nearly week. In this connec-
tion it has been learned that 100
sticks of dynamite were stolen from
quarry OH the outskirts of the city
Thursday night. The police have been
instructed TO watch all persons who
carry packages of suspicious ap-
pearance.
