The evidence is all in. the argument
ended and now It is up TO the Board OF
Public Utilities Commissioners to de-
eide whether or not TO grant the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company the privilege OF increasing
trolley fares TO s cents.
The final hearing last night in City
Council chambers was marked by
acrimonious statements and veiled
threats. The action OF the Board or
Public Utilities Commissioners in these
two hearings has been extremely fair,
both the traction company and the pub
lie being given every opportunity 10
present anything in the way OF eyi-
dence that they cared 10 submit. and
while at times C. D. Garretson, the
chairman, overruled the presentation OF
certain statements regarding the opera
tion OF other trolley systems. he only
did so when the statements had no di-
rect bearing on the question submitted
TO the board and had no connection
with the evidence offered Friday night.
The representatives OF the traction
company made no effort last night to-
check the veritsble torrent Of ssser-
tiOns that purported TO have an i'm
pOrtant bearing on the question at is
sue. and persistently refused 10 answer
many questions asked by the audience,
upon the statement made by the chair
man that the audience was not sup
posed to ask questions, but 20 argue
on the evidence submitted last Friday
night.

by the traction company, which was
substantiaied by copious extracts from
the law and a large mass OF figures,
showed that the company is urgently
in need Of financial help. On the other
hand the defense made many charges
against the traction company and its
employees. but offered practically no
proof OF its charges. Probably the
most serious omission alleged on the
part Of the traction company Is the lack
Of a statement as 10 the real valuation
Of the compsny's property. which the
company confessed 70 was unable 10

months. This leaves the Bsard Of Utni-

GEORGETOWN, Del, Sept. 23.-The
Sussex county leaders OF the opposi-
ton 10 the School Code forwarded TO
Governor Townsend last week a bun
die OF remonstrances against the Code.
They were accompanied by a letter
which contained this statement:
These ), ,453 signatures from i20

show that % per cent. OF the peO-
pie are opposed TO the new code"
It begins 20 appear. many Delswsr-
cans think, that the leading enemies
OF the Code here attempted 10 prove
too much. Il Is felt that they should
have confined their opposition 70 gener-
alities instead OF committing them
selves TO specific statements.
Roughly speaking. there are 1900

II WOUNDED IN SECOND DAY STEEL STRIKE CLASH
Strike Situation

The second day Of the nationwide
steel workers strike opened with
both sides making every preparation
for a long fight.
. Employers and wOrkmen, alike ap-
parently had abandoned their early
hopes of quick decisive victory.
The mill operators were reported TO
be bringing stocks OF food into their
plants and laying plans 20 defend
their mills, II necessary, while the
strikers were getting ready 10 carry
on the industrial warfare for an
extended period.
Early reports today indicated that
although the strikers apparently
were losing some ground In the
smaller towns OF tho important
Pittsburgh district. their strength
was greater there than had been ad-
mitted by the United States Steel
Corporation. In the Gary and Ohio
areas the strikers had succeeded In
forcing either directly or indirectly,
a shut down of most of the mills.
Order prevailed in most Of the
strike districts, but there was some
sporadic riOtlng early today. In
sharon. Pa. several shots were eN-
changed and eleven men were re-
ported 10 have been wounded. At
Buffalo, disturbances which resulted
in three riot calls last night were
resumed this morning. Several per-
sons were reported 10 have been In
lured and n number OF arrests were
made. Two men were killed and
two wounded In clashes at Farrell,
Pa, last night and az New Castle,
Pa, two women and five men were
wounded when strikers and police
came together.
Strikers pickcted most OF the
plants in the affected areas. but no
other disorder was reported. Two
additional troops OF State Constab-
ulary have been ordered into the
Pittsburgh district.
Affiliated unions have been begun
20 40 out In sympathy with the
steel workers. Switehmen In Buffalo

Of the Lackawanna Ctecl Company.
Several hundreds switchmen also
are on strike in Cleveland. Whether

steel centcrs would 90 out had not
been decided at 10 n. m. today.

strikers committee. continued TO
maintain that 279.o00 workers are
out. The companies reiterated that
not more than 5000 men had
struck.

board might desire.
During the hearing last night, which
was attended by 800 persons, the msia
argument brought against the traction
company was that the evidence sub
mitted was irrelevant inssmuch as It
covered the finances OF the company
for its entire operating territory with
In the State and much OF II did not
come within the jurisdiction OF the
commission IL was also alleged that
the stocks are "wstered" and the pub
lie is obliged TO help bear the payment
Of interest on mortgages outside the
city lines.
The attitude voiced by the company
was that the lines were burdened with
a deficit prior TO the wage increase
last August; that this wage Increase
will make further deficit Of nearly
S200000 and that fares must be in
creased TO enable the new scale OF
wages TO be maintained.
At the start Of the hearing the Cen
trail Labor Union endesvOred 10 have
the commission refuse further cOnsid-
Grafton TO the plea for an elght-cent
fare on the ground that the company
had failed to present any financial
statement bearing on the city OF VIII

company had presented no figures
