REVERSES STREET CAR:
SPEEDS FROM STRIKERS

How a strike e-brea aking street car.
manned by a strikebreaker, deftly ran
away from a gathering of strikers last
night was related by A government
official today who saw the incident
The car was coming along the tracks
over in Anacostia at good rate of
speed the official said. when the motor
man saw about 200 strikers seemingly
awaiting his approach.
There was no demonstration on the
part of the strikers. but their silence
must have spoke volumes to the on
coming motorman.
He evidently decided to play safe"
He might have had a past acquant-
ance with that good old maxim about
discretion being the better part of
valor.'
Anyway. he stopped his car on the
double quick. grabbed off the con-
troller handle and ran to the rear
end of the car, jammed the wheel into
place and away went the car up the
track away from the strikers.

COMMERCE CHAMBER TO
HELP SETTLE CAR STRIKE

Services of the Washington Chamber
of Commerce in bringing the car
strike to an end were extended in
resolutions adopted at a meeting of
that organization last night This ac-
ton was taken following the presenta-
ton Of the subject by Roy c. Clafliu
and following a protracted debate as
to just what stand the Chamber of
Commerce should take. The action
taken was compromise on the
original motion offered by Mr. Clafin
which provided for a meeting of the
board of directors of the organization
to be held at which time representa-
tjves from the strikers and from the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany should be heard.
Several of the members favored the
Chamber of Commerce endeavoring to
take the initiative in ending the strike.
Others thought that the Commissioners
had done all possioleNs I'm this regard.

President Wilson Amazed
at Prospects of a Strike
With Nation FACING Crisis

President Wilson is amazed at the
proposal OF a nation wide railway
strike at this juncture of international
affairs. II was stated authoritatiyeIy to-
day that he expects railroads and the
men at their conference in New York
tomorrow to consider the state of the
countrys foreign relations and make
every possible effort to agree 1t is
possible that he may appeal to both
sides on that ground Today the Presi-
dent was being kept in touch with the
situation through Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Labor.
The stipulation, signed by counsel for
the government and all railroads last
November and made part of the Su-
preme Court test case. provides that all
other litigation should remain In abey-
ance pending the courts decision
Brotherhood representatives were not
parties to the stipulation, and 1t does
not provide that changes in existing
wage scales shall not be made while
awaiting the outcome of the test case.
The brotherhoods are not parties to the
test suit.
The court is regarded as without
jurisdiction over any brotherhood rep
resentatives. as none are parties to the
litigation, but attorneys believe the
court has jurisdiction and authority TO
compel adherence by the government
and railroads to the stipulation as far
as It's provisions extend.

TO RESUME ITS HEARINGS.
Joint Congressional Committee to
Take Up TRANSFORMATION Problems.

The Newlsnds joint congressional
committee will resume it's hearings
Monday on the general subject Of
transportation. The committee began
its hearings last November, but halted
them when Congress met. The com
mittee is TO report next winter TO
Congress. A. p. Thorn, general counsel
for the Southern railroad. viii be the
first witness heard.
Senator Newlands said today that he
did not believe there was anything
that a committee could do with regard
to the threatened railroad strike. He
said that Congress had had an oppor-
tunity to act on legislation proposed
by the administration to meet such
emergencies at the iast session, but IL
failed to do SO. WITH Congress not in
session there was nothing that could
be done just now. he pointed out.

Many Brave Heavy Rainfall
Rather Than Ride in the Cars
Boycotted by the Strikers

Despite the rain. which fell steadily
throughout those hours when most of
Washington's workers were on their
way to their places of business. the
great bulk in the sections near the
East Capitol, the 18th and d streets
and the 18th and H streets terminals
chose to walk at least to the lines of
the Capital Traction Company rather
than ride on the Washington Railway
and Electric Company's lines Members
of the union now or strike kept in
the vicinity of the terminals. but for
the most part found shelter in lunch-
rooms and other business places. All
in all the morning was probably the
quietest since the strike was called.
The II street line seemed to be run

was carrying larger numbers than
either of the other lines having the
terminals named above. "Jitneys' went

the conductor, a look Of surprise on MS

Cars Leave a 1-2 Street Barn
According to Schedule, Says
Foreman; Windows Smashed

Despite some "roughhousing" of
cars and several attempts to cut out
service by putting distractions in the
slot, movement of cars from the ~
street barn, southwest, is reported to
be satisfactory from the companys
standpoint.
A number of new men were put on
the cars today. 1t is claimed that
these are the men the company has
been breaking in for the work and
that they are to run the cars regu-
larly and the imported professional
strikebreakers sent out of town again.
The company is also willing. 1t is
stated, to take back all of their old
men who will sign a three-year con-
tract but is unwilling to recognize
the union.
Living quarters are being fitted up
in the car barn for some of the men
now being put to work. steam
table is being set up and a big load
of cots were taken in yesterday. The
strikebreakers are now being put up
at some of the cheaper hotels on Penn
sylvania avenue. and a house. the To-
cation of which is kept a secret. has
also been arranged for them.
The foreman of the barn reported
that all cars were out that regular
schedules called for. Cars were out
late as 1890 o'clock last night and the
first one was out of the barn at 500
O'Clock this morning. The starter
claims that they are running on three
and five minute headway.

ed. The most serious cases of car
stoning occurred last night The strik-
ers are not blamed for this. however,

vantage of the unsettled conditions to
indulge in lawlessness.
About 10 o'clock last night at AZ

A number OF women were aboard, and
it is said that one of them was struck
in the head by stone. The police ar

unable to find any women on the car.
although there was a large number of
men.
A car reached the barn on the Bright
wood line last night about 80 O'Clock
with every window broken.
One of the cases in this territory that
rs likely to have most serious results is
the arrest of a young man following
the nnding of hoop wedged in the
track in front of the Capital Traction
barn on the water front. This was re-
ported by Supt. Grayson of the barn.
Detective Sergt. Pat O'Brien investi-
gated and arrested a young man, who
finally admitted that he was with two
men from the Tenleytown barn when
they placed the hoop in position.
