''i'' CAR STRIKE FAR FROM GENERAL! Service at Philadelphia bat Partially AiieOed. SOME DISORDERS OCCUR Residents ef West Philadelphia, An gered by Raise in Fares, Show Strong Sympathy for Striking Em ployes—Company Employs Nearly 8even Thousand Men, but Less Than Half Are Unionists. Philadelphia, May 31.—Philadelphia is In the tangle of a street car strike. The order of the executive committee of the Carmen's union was not gen erally obeyed, enough men reporting for duty to start the average number of cars. The order to strike went Into effect at 4 a. m., when the day service be gins. At 9 a. m. cars were running 011 all but two of the lines of the Phil adelphia Rapid Transit company, which operates the entire street rail way system, but It was apparent that the company was having difficulty in maintaining the regularity of the serv ice. While tfceto has been agitation among the men for higher wages and better conditions it was not enerali believed that radical action would be taken, as the union organization was not believed to be strong enough to carry on a strike. In Wet-t Philadelphia, where feeling was strongest against the company for raising the rate of fare, the com pany experienced most trouble. The Fifty-second street line was tied up On other llne3 in this section sympa thl^ers jibed at passengers, many of whom left the cars. In some in stances cars were* abandoned crews. Raise of Wages Causes Strike. Paradoxical as it may seem the strike was hastened through the ac tion of the company in raising the wages of the men one cent an hour, from 21 to 22 cents. This was done about two weeks ago and the in crease is to go Into effect July 1. Prior to the announcement of the in crease of wages the Philadelphia Rap id Transit became the storm center of general protest by abolishing six for a quarter tickets and adopting u straight 5 cent fare rate. Commit tees of citizens filed protests with tht company and a great town meeting was held at which fifteen of the prom lnent men of the city were appointed a committee to take up the matter with the company. So far this com mittee has met with no success and the mattei is now before the stat railroad commission at Harrisburg. As the move to change the rate ot fare was very unpopular among the street car riders the leaders of tb union took advantage of the situation and began agitating an increase in wages and better conditions. The traction company employs ap proximately 6,600 motormen and con du^tors and It is claimed by the com pany that not more than one-sixth of those ara affiliated with the organiza tlon. On the other hand the union leaders say that the union has a mem bership of 3,500. GEORGIA STRIKE AT AN EMt) Concessions by Both Sides Terminates Trouble.

Washington, May 31.—Secretary Dickinson saya that in accordance with the specific instiuctions of the president the estimates for the mil itary establishment for the fiscal year 1911 would be $20,000,000 less than the appropriations for the fiscal year 1910. He explained that it was im possible to make any reduction in the pay of the army, or in the expense foi feeding and transporting the officers: and troops, or in providing forage foi horses and mules, or, In fact, in any of the regular expenditures for the maintenance of the purely military establishment. I Consequently it will be necessary, he snid, to confine the reduction of ex penses almost entirely to public works. Including rivers and haTbor works, fortifications and barracks and other buildings under the quarternias ter's department. It was pointed out that the only way the estimates can be reduced to the desired figure is by the omission of estimates for projects and new work of all kinds and eon fining the estimates to the bare main tenanee of the establishment as It is It was explained that the efTect ol such a policy would be to delay the completion of many public Improve ncnts now under way. GERMANY'S ACTION IS IMPERTINENT Aldrich Denounces Method 01 Supplying Information. Washington, May 81.—Senator Aid rich denounced as "Impertinent" the effort of the German government to influence American tariff legislation by supplying anonymous information as to wages paid German workmen. His characterization followed a state ment by Senator Depew Intimating that German manufacturers were striving to influence congress through the German government and Ameri can importers of German goods. The reply of the president to a sen ate resolution calling for a statement of the German government as to wages In Germany proved the signal for this animated discussion as soon as the senate assembled. The presi dent stated in his message of trans mittal that the document In question had been sent to the committee on finance April 13. Senator Nelson, go Ing to the desk of the vice president, took the president's brief message and as he held it in his hand asked that the statement referred to be printed as a senate document. "I am surprised," said Mr. Nelson, "that the finance committee has with held that report." "I have made some investigation as to the character of that report," re plied Mr. Aldrich, "and I find that it consists of statements by certain boards of trade of Germany transmit ting anonymous statements of Ger man exporters in answer to testimony taken before the house committee on ways and means. I assume that this is the frst time in the history of our country that a foreign government has undertaken to send through dip lomatic channels to the United States anonymous testimony of manufactur ers in answer to statements made be fore a committee of congress. I am quite willing that this document should be printed." ENJOYS CONTINUED OVATION President Taft Guest ef Pittsburg for a Day.
