STRIKING FOR RECOGNITION.
All tho Street Cur I.lnes of riillailrlplilti
Tint Vi.
Philadei.I'.iia, Dee. IT At 4 o'clock
this morning the street car lines of this
city were tied up In n general strike. That
step was decided upon at midnight. Tho
conductors and motormen are waging war
for "living wages," shorter hours and tho
privilege of belonging to the Amalgamated
Association of Street Hallway Employes.
Dissatisfaction has been growing for a
long time, but. reached a high pitch Imme
diately after the recent consolidation of
all thq local lines into ono company tho
Union Traction. Then action was prcoip
itated by tho numerous discharges from
tho copipany's servlco of men belonging to
tho Amalgamated Association. Many con
ference have beon sought by tho various
t committees representing .ie railway men,
but oil have been rejected by President
Welsh and the company's board of di
rectors. A few days ago W. D. Mahon, of De
troit, presldont of tho street car workers'
national organization, appeared in this
city nud took chargo of the affairs of tho
malcontents. A crisis was reached yestor-"
uay. At a meeting yesterday morning a
commltteo of ono was appointed to convey
nn ultimatum to President Welsh. He did
so, and returned with tho Information,
given by tho president himself, that there
would bo no nnswer, and that no person
connerted with nny labor organization
'won' ' recognized. Tills report was ro
cel 4st night at a meeting of tho com
mlttce having charge of tho railway men's
affairs. After long and earnest discussion
It wal finally doclded to declare a general
Btrlkd on all the linos of tho company,
which controls overy car in the city.
Thd demands of tho strikers aro very
modest. They ask $3 for a day's work of
ten hours, with thirty minutes for meals;
that ears shall bo vestibulcd; that sweep
ers, showplows und trippers shall bo con
sidered special work, nnd that men who
have been discharged for organizing shall
bo reinstated.
