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.
Atlanta, Ga., May 31.—At the con
clusion of a conference between Com
missioner of Labor Nelll, T. K. Scott,
general manager of the Georgia rail
road, and E. A. Ball, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Knginemen, Commissioner of
Labor Nelll announced that the strike
had been declared off. It is under
stood that both sides made conces
sions. The following statement of the
settlement of the strike was given
out:
"An amicable adjustment of the
differences between the Georgia rail
road and its employes, who have been
on strike, has been reached on a
basis said to be satisfactory to both
parties. The strike has been called
off and train service is to be resumed
immediately."

IN ORDER TO CUT EXPENSES
War Department Will Suspend Im
provement Work.
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."
