STRIKE RESPONSIBLE
FOR A VERY LIVELY ROW
George Kramer, Proprietor of One
of the Wagons Running in Op
position to Cars, Was Injured.
Tho fust trouble of any account that
has yet occurred in connection with
tho street car strike, happened yes
terday afternoon about 5 o'clock, on
Jackson street and Alain avenue, and
as ti result, several car windows were
broken and u hand-to-hand light en
sued. Ctooifio Kramer, who runs one of the
band wagons to West Scranton in op
position to the street curs, obstructed
the running of tlio cars during the
day. It is alleged, and burled epithets
at tho men in charge.
Whilo 0110 of tho cars in-bound was
running down Jackson street, Kramer
got in tho way of it, nnd about the
same time some one throw u stone
through one of the windows. Imme
diately two detectives on the 'ar
sprang for Kramer and proceeded to
pummel him.
Kramer replied to the attack find
was getting tlio best of the argu
ment when Hie motorman assaulted
him with the motor handle, fracturing
his wrist. Patrolman AleColligan then
took a hand in tho affair and placed
Kramer anil tlio two detectives under
arrest.
"When arraigned before Police
Magistrate Davis, the detectives gave
their names as Howard I'rice and
John Brown, ami claimed to be special
railroad police, commissioned by tho
governor to act In that capacity.
They displayed their badge. and as
serted that I hey were attempting' to
arrest Kramer, when they themselves
were placed under arrest, Kramer
left a deposit, and tho bearing was ad
journed until 1 o'clock this after
noon, A large crowd bad collected in tho
meantime, and tho excitement was In
tense. Fearing for the safety of tlio
detectives, Special Ollleer Dyer took
them out of a rear door in tho station
house and escorted them to tlio cen
tral city over the back streets.

NEW IMPORTS
ARE RECEIVED
FIFTY ARRIVED HERE YESTER
DAY FROM NEW YORK.
Company Now Has One Hundred
nnd Sevonty-flve Men on Hand and
It Is Understood Will Begin to
Open Up tho Out-of-Town Lines.
Strikers Feel Safely Intrenched
Behind the Sympathy of tho Pub
lic Weather as an. Important
Factor In the Fight.
Fifty more men wcro Imported yes
terday by tho trolley com puny ami
safely landed at tho living quarters
over the company's olllccs.
They wcro recruited In New York
city by I ho Driimmoud agency and
shipped here yesterday morning on the
Lackawanna. In a special car. Al Nay
Aug the car was cut off and taken
over tho AVinton branch to Poekvllle,
where It was transferred to tlio On
tario and Western, over which road
It was brought to bis city ami
switched to tlio trolley company's
power bouse properly. Tlioie a largo
trolley car was waiting them, and
without delay they were conveyed to
the central city and unloaded at tho
company's: oillco before the strikers
had tho first Inkling of their coming.
This makes one hundred nnd seven-ty-llvo
men tlio company has on hnnd,
according to the claims of General
Manager Slllhnun. Tho now men will
be put to work today on lines that
hnvp thus far remained unopened,
tionoral Atnnager Sllllman would not
say yosterdny what lines would, bo
opened, but It is understood that some
of tho out of town runs w 111 bo in
cluded. Tlio company olllclals make the
claim that business is steadily Increasing-
and that If the Increase continues
at the present ratio it will not be. many
days before tlio cars will bo carrying
their usual crowds.
WKATIIKIl tiOOD.
Nothing better in the .shape of
weather propitious for walking could
bo Imagined than that which now
prevails. Tills contributes Immeasur
ably to tho success of tho boycott.
Should a spell of bad weather set In,
thu chances are there would bo a
very appreciable giowtli in the pat
ronage of tho cars. Tho weather
bureau Is predicting a wet spell.
The. .strlkeiK are undaunted, Organi
zer llceves says, by tho continued im
portation of men from other cities.
They feel safely bartended behind tlio
bulwark of public sympathy.
"We regard the- fight as practically
won," saitl Air. Beeves. '"If there is
anything- that will bring the. company
to a realization that it is duo from it
to mele out justice to their employes,
it is the extreme sympathy shown the
employes by those who constitute the
patrons of tho company. Tho men are
enthusiastic in their oxmesslon of
gratitude to tlio nubile and stand as
firmly today tis when the strike began.
"The company is probably beginning
to realize that to break up a union in
an organized community like this is
no easy or inexpensive task. It is a
costly experiment and Jiuiy result In
this instance in the company being
compelled to take in a business asso
ciate In the way of a receiver."
PUT SIGN OFT.
An Indication of tin? trend of sym
pathy in his conflict is lmmd in tlio
fad that the railway company yes
terday put out in front of its offices a
large illuminated sign announcing
"General olllccs Scranton Railway
company." -Men who have come to
the office looking- for work have told
Air. Sllllman that they spent several
hours looking tor the olllees. The mo
ment they inquired for tlio company's
offices they were suspected of being
imports, and as a, result they would
cither be refused the information or
sent on a wild goose chase.
Tho mass meeting at the armory to
night will be addressed by Xational
Organizer Caldwell, of the American
Federation of Labor; National Or
ganizer Beeves, of the Street Car Men's
union; Htm. John P. Quinnan and
others. John H." Devino, president of
tho clerics' association will bo chair
man. The men have sent out letters
to a largo number of business men in
viting them to net as vice-presidents
of the meetlntr.
National Organizer Hooves and
Secretary Fred Surine, of the si root car
men's union, waited on Itov. Dr. Ale
Leod yesterday to convert him to their
way of regarding the strike. At tlio
end of a lengthy Interview- the doctor
declared that he had not been con
vinced that the men wcro justified in
their strike.
Congressman William Council had a
couforcncoi yesterday with Geiipral
Alanager Sllllman. Uemenibrnneo of
Air. ConneH's Inlermedlatlon in tho
miners' strike last fall bad the effect
of starting a story that he was con
cerning himself In u similar capacity
In the present strike, but nothing
would ho given out by either party to
the eonference what transpired.
A Laurel lllll car ran uway on Aladl
son avenue yo.storduy and crashed into
one of John Ladwlg's delivery wag
ons, damaging the wagon considerably.
Forty railway pollen coinnil.s.sloncd
by the governor, have been assigned to
the service of the company.

ceived from Recorder Council, trans
mitting tlio resolutions of tho strikers'
executive, board, in which councils are
asked to annul the trolley company's
franchises, buy out its equipment and
establish municipal ownership of Ult
ra II way lines, as a sure and only posi
tive means of securing a good scrvico
and avoiding strikes.
Thin communication was referred lo
tlio railway commit toe, with instruc
tions to report forthwith. The com
mittee reported It "favorably" and
added a recommendation that council

back lo the committee, with instruc
tions to confer with the city solicitor
regarding the city's power in the mat
ter of annuling franchises.
Them was a general discussion of
tlio proposition among the members,
tho greater part of the members
agreeing that they could not see how
tho franchises of tlio railway company
nro to be auniiolled, even if the city
was prepared to take on their operation.

PASSED BY THE
LOWER BRANCH
LICENSE TAX AMENDMENTS
ARE CONCURRED IN.
New Revenuo Menstne Which Will
Largely Increase tho Clty'3 In
come by Compelling Public Scr
vico Corporations to Contribute n
Share of Their Earnings Succeeds
In Running the Gauntlet of Coun
cilsDisagreement on Police Mag
istrates' Salaries.
Ily an unanimous volt of the twenty
sovcu members present nt last night's
meeting of common council, concur
rence was given the amendments
which the upper branch made to tho
license tnx ordinance.
As the ordlnnnco stood upon leaving
the lower branch, nil public service
corporations wcro to bo taxed two per
cent, of their gross receipts, except
trolley companies, which were to bo
tnxod live per cent. Select council
took gns and water companies out of
the two per cent, class and placed them
In tho llvo per cent, chiss.
Tho measure Is now ready for tho
recorder's signature. It will Increase
the city's revenues by many thousands
of dollars, possibly JSO.OOO.
The lower branch would not, how
ever, concur in tho amendments made
by the selectmen to tho police magis
trates' ordinance. The suburban mem
bers combined against giving the two
central city magistrates a bigger share
of the Sk'.OOO, appropriated for mngls
t rates' salaries, than tho three subur
ban magistrates were to receive, nnd
as a consequence a conference com
mittee will have to bo appointed.
Messrs. Phillips, Gurrell nnd Sykes
were appointed to represent the lower
branch.
