peared in the supreme court demand
ing that Mayor Frank A. Schwab, en-
force the law which prohibits the op-

cause order, contended that the com
pany has not yet restored normal serv-
ice and that the emergency which JUS
titled him in granting permits to the
jitney still exists.
The legal battle, upon which the
company rests its hope of defeating
the strike which has been in progress
since July /. followed a night of the
worst rioting that. has thus far mark

lacks on cars throughout the city.
John Chrosniak, so years old, a
striking conductor, was instantly kill
ed when a policeman fired three shots
from a riot gun after crowd had at
tackled a Sycamore Street car. The
same volley wounded Cashier Kis-
zewski and Harold Lang. KisZewsk1

heart and may die. Lang, a striking
switch tender, was slightly injurrd.
The policeman fired after the crowd
had broken in the windows of the
front vesibule and after bottle OF
acid had been thrown on the motor
man, John McCasley, of Philadelphia

face and may lose his sight
Nearly every section of the city
saw bombardments of night cars by
crowds armed with stones and other
. missiles.
Mayor Schwab is expected to an
nounce later new plan for the end
ing of the strike by means of an
arbitration commission. Herbert g

the company would not consider any
proposal of arbitration and would
continue to maintain that the question
of making a contract with the Anal
gamated association of Street and
Electric railway employees is not for
arbitration The contract question is
the only issue in the strike.

227 Polish votes for his chief OPP

the latter had nothing to gain by as
sassinating him, since the Assembly
