Flllod to overflowing aro tho hospitals as tho result of riots attending tho strlko of motormon and conductors on tho Phil adelphia car lines. At least 1,000 got in tho way of bullets or bricks or paving stones, and half of those wero hurt seriously. Tho outlook was bo alarming In tho afternoon, when tho Philadelphia Rapid Transit company withdrew uvory ono of lta "cars from service and sunt them. to tho barns, that Mayor Reyburn authorized Henry Clay, the director of public safety, to recruit 4,000 extra policemen for duty today if possible Tho regular forco of 3,300 was utterly unable to (.mother tho trouble. Tho Indications are plain that the Rapid Transit company Intends to glvo C. O. Pratt and tho striking conduc tors and motormon all tho lighting thoy want, and sober-minded citizens ftro considering tho advisability of asking the governor to lend a hand with tho state constabulary. There was never a day In tho strike of nine months ago when things looked so UGly as they do at present. Company Is Defiant. Indicative of tho company's attitude and of its determination to stand against tho closed shop demand, D. T. Pierce, executive assistant to Presi dent Krugcr of tho Rapid Transit company, said: "Every one of thoso thousands of bricks that were thrown adds to tho determination of officials of this company to spend every cent In the treasury and uso every bit of power thoy bavo to keep the system in oporatlcn without tho use of those mon who struck. Tho men woro treated fairly and tho conductors and motor men that wero discharged had been proved guilty of dishonesty or evasion of duty." On top of Mr. Plor.co's flat-footed etatoment enmo another from C. O. Pratt, the national organizer, who is bossing this strlko In person. He said that a meeting of tho Central Labor union's oxccutlvo commltteo had been held n tho homo of President J. J. Murphy, and that tho commltteo, with Murphy's approval, decided to call a goneral strlko If tho Rapid Transit company persevered In trying to run cars with nonunion me.n. Murphy, who Is thoroughly In sympathy with tho striking conductors and motormon, confirmed Pratt's statement Murphy cays ho hns tho power to call out 100,000 men, which would tie up or cripple every Industrial establishment In tho city practically. How frequent and generally distrib uted woa the rioting may bo Judgod when it Is known thero was a call for pollcomen every four minutes from early morning until lato In tho even ing. The area of tho rioting was so Immenr. that tho police had a desper ate and difficult problem on their hands. Several times during tho day thero woro fights in which more than a thousand persons wera taking part. Many Gent to Hospitals. Tho outcome of all tho fighting and disorder was that four persons were Injured fatally in all likelihood, about !00 wero sent to tho hospitals, and 97 cars were more or less damaged and threo cars woro burned. Accord ing to tho company's roports 2,008 win dows wero brokon. Thero wero mor than 1C0 arrests made. Both Pratt for tho strikers and Plorco for tho company claimed the advantage of tho day.
