delphia Rapid Transit cmopany, which
operate the street railways.
Flynn said 500 of the 400 en-
ployes had responded to the strike
order and that several lines were tied
up, and others crippled. Strikebreak-
ers had replaced the men out, he said
Company officials said only a neglig-
ible number of men had quit and that
all lines were being operated as usual
AS a matter OF precaution police
were stationed at all car barns and
power houses.
Thomas Z. Mitten, president of the
transit company, said today that every
car is running on schedule time and
that not more than II men had walked
out. Other company officials conceded
that 400 men are out.
Three strikers were arrested follow
ing an attempt to interfere with troll
ley crew. The strike is the third in
20 years in this city.

SIGHT BREMEN APPROACHING SHORE
Disagree on
E4en1ptPlan
in Army Bill

Washington, Aug House con-
ferees on the army appropriation bill
today finally declined to yield on the
Hay amendment to the articles of war
which would exempt retired officers
and men from the military criminal
code and Senator Chamberlain there
upon submitted to the senate the con
ference report with a disagreement on
that provision
As reported the measure carries
$267 ,597 200 for the reorganized regu-
lar army and national guard during
the coming year, a reduction from
S3lS,9O0.000 carried in the bill as it
passed the senate.
Representative Hay saw President
Wilson early in the day but later said
the army bill was not mentioned.
Representative Hay later presented
the report to the house. The bill. as
II now stands. retains the $2,000,0O0
appropriation for relief of families of
national guaTdsmen and regular army
enlisted men in service in the Mexican
emergency. The Reed amendment to
appropriate $14 100000 for increased
pay for service on the Mexican border

New York. Aug. 7.-George w. Han

today that a sa result of the confer
ence between representatives of the
Switchmen's Union of North America

MORGAN WEALTH
DOUBLED BY WAR
Makes as Much Money in Past Two
Years as His Father Did During
His Whole Career.

New York, Aug. ACCORDING to the
completed appraisal just made, the es-
tate of the late ]. ?. Morgan was
worth $73, 149 900, of which S53 ,6S4,-
91S went to the present J. P Morgan.
From what was learned last week
the present Morgan firm has made as
much money during the past two
years as the old head of the house
made during his whole career as the
recognized financial and Industrial
leader of these United States.
In the first place, under its con-
tract with the British government, the
Morgan firm has received a commits
sion of ? per cent on all munitions
and supplies purchased. Those pur-
chased during 1915 and 1916 will foot
up not less than $4,000, 900, 1000. Then
the Morgan firm has received bank
ing commission on all loans placed for
foreign governments. These loans
now aggregate $1,000 ,000, 900. Then
there has been commissions for the
Morgan firm in selling for the British
government the hundreds and hun
dreds of millions of the foreign-owned
American securities. Then there has
been commissions and interest on call
loans and interest and commission
for stabilizing exchange; that is, for
buying when sterling went down and
selling when the movement was up
ward
In brief, at the most conservative
estimate heard this week, the pres
ent j. p Morgan has, within the past
two short years already more than
doubled his own personal fortune,
basing the figures on the $50, 684 900
which was left to him by his father
No one has ever made money like that
in this or any other country.

slider proposals of settlement which
