PHILADEL PHIA, Aug. 4
Q.N.S0 TO stem the rising tide
Of disorder and violence in the
citywide strike Of 10000 truck
drivers and warehouse employees,
Mayor S. Wilson today declared a
state of emergency"
Just prior to issuing the procla-
nation, the city executive advised
citizens in a radio address that:
1.-THE time has come when it
is necessary to challenge the
right Of certain labor leaders to
ignore the laws protecting the
rights and properties of our citi-
zens. The full force of the city
government will be used to
maintain law and order"
LABOR CONFERENCE
The executive order of the
Transfers Joint Council of the
American Federation of Labor had
just gathered in conference to dis
cuss the question of calling a gen.
eral strike of everything on
wheels" within the city's borders,
when the mayor acted.
While the mayor was making
his announcement a citywide
peace patrol" Of 1900 automo'
biles, each carrying four police
men, was ordered by Superintend'
ent of Police Edward Hubbs. The
patrolmen were ordered to bring
their own automobiles, and mobi-
lization of the largest detachment
got started at Reyburn Plaza, a
squire in the center city area op'
posite City Hall.
The metropolis of 100000 resi-
dents was already feeling the
pinch of the strike, called Mon
day by one unit of the A. F. l..
Truck Drivers Union in protest
against the alleged use Of thugs"
by the Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company to convoy its de-
livery trucks.
Food Supplies Dwindle
Food supplies were dwindlIns
rapidly in stores as deliveries Of
food stuffs were almost completely
blocked when 1000 warehouse
workers joined the 5000 striking
drivers. Merchants estimated that
more than 100000 worth of pro
duce and other periShable foods
lay rotting at produce markets.
Edward F. McGrady, Assistant
Secretary of Labor, arrived here
from Syracuse, N. Y, to take
charge Of Federal efforts to med
itate the strike.
Upon his arrival he was advised
of the threatened general strike
and he said he would bend eVerj

TIME historic incident of the ori-
gin of the flag is one Of the
Il dramatic stories of Revolution
ary days, featuring one of the more
colorfu1 women of colonial history,
the widow Of John Ross, upholster-
er, who fell early in the Revolution.
A storehouse of munitions he was
guarding exploded. Betsy Ross has
been pictured as the Florence Night
ingale of the Revolution.
To this brick house at 239 Arch
street, Philadelphia, came one day
in June, 1776, a committee Of Gen.
George Washington, Col. George
Ross, uncle of Betsy's late husband,
and the wealthy Robert Morris,
chairman of the secret commission
on supplies for the colonial forces.
They requested Betsy Ross to make
the flag according to design given
her by General Washington, and
which was officially adopted by the
congress the following year.
The old house is a two-anda-half
story structure, II feet wide, with
but two rooms on the ground floor.
At the front was the upholstery
shop, and in the rear, connected by
a hallway, was the sitting room,
used as a dining room on gala oc-
casions. Beneath this was the base
ment kitchen, reached by winding
stairs. Bedrooms were on the sec
ond and dormer floors. The living
room still has the large fireplace
with the white mantel framed with
the original blue Dutch tile; the
room was originally painted blue,
as shown by the removal of many
coats of paint.
An inch-by-inch study of the build
ing has revealed many changes
since the flag incident. The front
entrance had been shifted from one
side of the building to the other; a
chimney and three fireplaces had
been closed up; four windows had
been made into doors; the origf-
nal floor of the basement kitchen
was found ten inches beneath the
present brick flooring.
All of the original building is be-
ing carefully preserved. Thus it
was discovered that six doors with
original L-shaped hinges of colonial
make remain; two sets of colonial
shutters, of spliced wood, panelled
inside, with authentic hinges were
discovered on the rear of the build
ing. Two second-story front win
dows and a dormer window were
originals even to the small panes o.
glass.

FOURTH
Of JULY
Celebration
'"m -. go, IN

HOURTH OF JULY first was OBJ
served as a holiday with a
n "rublic levee at the home of
the President in 1876, three years
after the close Of the Revolution, it
is revealed in papers brought to
light by the historical research de-
partment Of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington, states a writer in
the Washington Star.
The first of these is a letter from
Rufus King to Elbridge Gerry, both
of whom we're members of the Con-
tinental congress, then meeting in
New York. 1t reads:
CDR Gerry, In consequence of an
order of Congress public levee
was held from IL to 3 ocPk at the
House of the President at which
were present the members of Con-
gress, Officers of the Great Depart
ments, Foreign Ministers, ETC., etc.
The Cincinnati are in the highest
prosperity. they celebrate the Day
with splendor exceeding any
thing within the practice of Govern
ment-of course draw the Huzzas
and admiration of the Multitude. The
Chapter of these Knights appointed
a deputation of four members to
present the anniversary congratula-
tions to the President and members
of Congress, they attended the
Levee, and I was witness to the deg
relation of Government in seeing
them reed. etc. etc."
That same day the New York Dali
ly Advertiser printed an account Of
the celebration:
''The morning was ushered in by
the ringing of bells and discharge
of cannon. At r. O'Clock a grand
. procession (headed by city watch
men and closed by citizens) .. to
the house of his excellency the Gov
ernor-and from thence to the house
of his excellency the president Of
Congress, where the compliments Of
the day were first paid to his ex-
cellency by the Governor, and after
wards by his worship the mayor, in
behalf of the citizens of New York.
From whence they returned to Cor
res tavern, where a cold collation.
was provided by the corporation.
And the day was closed by the ring
ing of bells and the firing of can
non."
There follows an account of the
meeting of the Cincinnati at Cores
tavern in commemoration of the
day, at which suitable orations were
delivered by Coils. Hamilton and
Walker. One of the 13 toasts was,
MAY the powers of Congress be

held in Washington in 1928 and 1924,
gives the form of the salute:
During the ceremony of hosting

face the flag. stand at attention and
salute. Those present in uniform

When not in uniform, men should
remove the head-dress with the

1.-TWO of the bells which played
important rol eS in early
Il American history - pealing
warnings or glad tidings during the
nations battle for survival-are
treasured by Philadelphia, observes
Philadelphia United Press corre-
spondent.
Most valuable of the two from
historical standpoint is the world
famed Liberty bell, which was tolled
when first public announcement was
made of the Continental congress
adoption of The Declaration of Inde-
pendence on July 4, 1776.
The bell had pealed for anniver-
saries and festivals until 1885, when
it cracked while being rung for the
funeral procession of Chief Justice
John Marshall of the United States
Supreme court.
Other bells identified with Ameri-
cas- struggle against foreign encum-
brances are the chimes in the Stee-
pie of Old Christ church. During
the Revolutionary war they were
removed and secreted to block pos
sible attempts of English soldiers
to melt them for ammunition.
