Organized labor in this city has put
itself on record as indorsing the demand of
union employees of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company for higher wages and i'm
proved working conditions, and pledged its
support to the trolleymen in anv steps they
may deem necessary to take. Harry f.
Flynn, president OF Division All, the local
branch of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Railway Employees, appeared be-
fore the Central Labor Union and the Labor
Trades Council and attacked Thomas %.
Mitten. president of the Rapid Transit Com
pany, for his refusal to meet committee
sent TO lay the proposition before him. He
openly declared that unless Mr.. Mitten
changed his attitude strike by the union
employees could not be averted
The demands, which call for nat rate OF
40 cents an hour for motOrmen and con-
ductors, the abolition of the swing-run sys-
tenn and full recognition of the union, were
adopted at a mass-meeting attended oy.
$500 union troleymen two weeks ago. Reso--
lutions of Endorsement and pledges OF sup
port were passed by both bodies,
Flynn said yesterday that all arrange
ments had been made for a final mass
meeting of the union trolleymen and that
date and hour had been fixed, but he re-
fused to make the date public until notice
had been officially sent out to the union
members. AT this meeting, he said the whole
question would be put up to the union car
men. If they voted to strike, he said, there
would be a strike. II not, all would be
peaceful Flynn asserts that three-fourths
OF all the Philadelphia Rapid Transit EN-
ployes have been organized by the Anal
gamated and are members of Division AIT.
Carmen not members OF the union, how
ever, dispute this statement. They declare
that not more than 5000 names are on the
union lists There are $500 in the COM
panys employ, .n-
p j. Shea, national vice president of the
Amalgamated Association, who directed the
trolley strike in this city In 1910, is in
Philadelphia working with Flynn and the
division officers
Flynn was asked yesterday either to con-
firm or deny the persistent rumOrs to the
effect that a strike OF the trolleymen will
be called tomorrow morning. He refused
to answer the question. but said mass
meeting of the unionists could be held on
"a hours notice and that strike vote
then would result in an immediate walkout.
He said the company was preparing for
strike and that its representatives already
have seen high city officials to ascertain
how far the police will go to break II up.
He also said the company was putting the
old 10th and 11th streets car barn, at nth
and Dauphin streets, In shape 70 accom-

platforms have been built over the pits
in the barn, but 1t could not be ascertained

To seek for their salvation.
Beneath thy skies they shall find rest
And Joy and freedom thy breast,

And with loves ardor burn
Thv hero sons shall train their guns
Gainst wrong and fell oppression;
Brave love snail lead on hOnor's steed
And gain AZ last possession,
OF strOngholds where the intrenched foe,
Their Haunting tokens bodily show.
The banners OF the right unfurled

he was born at Rosine, this county,

KILLS
HIS LITTLE PLAYMATE

Belcher, the siX-year-old son of
Claude Belcher, accidentally shot
and killed Lillian lola Rednour, the
three-year-old daughter of w. II.
Rednour. at the Belcher home here
late yesterday afternoon, according
to a Coroner's jury.
The boy and girl and three other
small children We're playing with
the gun at the Belcher home while
the mother was away, according to
evidence heard. In some manner
the gun was discharged, the load
taking effect in the little girls neck,
nearly blowing her head from the
shoulders, causing instant death.
The boy, although only a mere
child, protested that he did not fire
the gun, but said he struck a shell
with a knife. One empty shell was
found in the room later.
Coroner Davis held an inquest
over the body last night. the jury
returning a verdict that the child
came to her death from a gunshot
wound, the gun supposedly in the
hands of Elvin Belcher. All the
witnesses gave evidence tending to
show that the boy had fired the shot
accidentally.
