I- Statement of a Man Who Went to Philadelphia to Work. ENGAGED BY FALSE PRETENSES I He Claims That Men Secured In New Eng land Were Deceived as to the Mature of the Work Expected of Them. New Mon Offered $2.50 a Day. Philadelphia, Dec. S3. Phllndi'lnlii nns wero Riuntly dUnppolntcil when it be came known that President John Lowlwr Welsh, of tho Union Traction company, refused to ratify tho njiroomcnt that had boon supposed to end tho great street rail way strike. Tho ngrceinont was niado on tho authority of Thomas IJolan, a director and heavy stockholder In tho company, and was holiovcd to ho binding. When Mr. Welsh, however. Issued a stntovnont saying that tho company would "retain 1,000 now men already secured," and Would tako back only il.fiOO of tho 1,500 strikers, practically at tho company's terms, tho strike was on again. Saturday was mado momorablo by several riots, Which resulted lu tho smashing of many car windows and numerous arrests. At a law hour last night tho strike situ ation was apparently unchanged, but tho air was full of all kinds of rumors. No at tempt was mado t6 run cars during Sun day, Many conferences wero held on both sides, but no statements wero given out. At tho Wost Philadelphia station of tho Markut street lino a smnll army of now men nro confined. They wero brought hero from Boston and othor Now Kngland cities to tako tho placos of tho strikers. Soon after their arrival ono man becamo dissatisfied and loft. To tho strikers ho said that all tho men would loavc, but that they woro practically prisoners. They claim thoy woro led to bellovo that thoy wero wanted to opon a now trolley lino hero, and upon learning tho truth becamo disgusted and wanted to leave, but wero not permitted. Tho Boston man declared that ho had to fight his way through a crowd of traction omploycs to roach tho door. Tho strikers avor that thoy will tako legal action to socuro tho men's re lease. Henry P. Graham, of Brooklyn, who wns brought hero to work, mado nn nllldavlt stating that tho company Is offering tho new mon $2.50 a day, while- thoy refusotho old ones $2. Mayor Warwick last night Issued tho fol lowlngstntoment: "As matters stand my duty as tho chief executlvo officer Is to pro servo tho peace and order of tho city, audi will, with all thoforcoat my command, do this, and If necessary I will bring to my assjstanco all tho force that under tho law can bo brought, into requisition, bolt state or national. Ijlfo and property shall bo protected by tho strong nrm of tho law. Lawlessness Is anarchy, and that will not bo permitted under any circumstances." John Lowber Welsh, president of tho company, this morning issuos a lengthy Btatolnent to tho public. It reiterates tho company's determination to Ignoro any outsldo organization, and lays tho blamo for tho strike and Its consequences upon parties who had no connection with tho company. Then Mr. Wolsh rehearses tho ovouts of tho past few days, deploring tho vlolonco, anil explaining tho Inability of tho company to discharge tho now men thoy havo taken on since tho strike begun. Tho executive commltteo of tho strikora was lh sossioli all afternoon, and last night sent a sub-commltteo of flvo em ployes to confer with Gonoral Manager Bcotem. Attorney Stevenson instructed them to uso their best efforts to offcot a scttlomont, and If thoy failed, to try and I make arrangements for arbitration.

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT STRUCK HIM Stood on the Car's Iron Step, Caught Hold of Two Brass Braces and Then Shot Through the Air Like a Rocket. A passengor on one of the Lakwddc Elec tric Hallway cars Saturday night, named Anthony Wisloskl, had an experience that will make him more obedient' to tho warn ings of tho conductors on the road when traveling over it in tho future. Ho may congratulato himself that ho is alive to en joy the Christmas festivities. The car on which Wisloskl was a passenger was bounding through tho heavy storm that prevailed at about nine o'clock and as metal work about the cars are generally well charged with clectrclty on such occasions tho conductors and motor men are instructed to warn passengers not to stand on the iron steps with their bauds in contact with any metal. As the car approached the station at Yatcsvlllo Wisloski left his scat and walked to tho platform. "Don't stand on tho step; wait until tho car stops," said the conductor. "O, me know," said the passciiKcr, as he did just what tho conductor warned him against. Wisloskl not only stood on the step but caught hold of each of two brass braces. The next Instant t tic man went headlong from the car step like a Hash. It was ho sud den that tho conductor did not realize what had happened until the ear had run some distance. The car was stopped and the con ductor and some of th,o passengers went back to give the victim assistance. They found him several yards from tho place where he had left the car, covered with mud and blood and very much dazed. An examination showed that he had sustained no fractures. There were a number of cuts about his head and bis face looked like n painted portrait just finished and a wire brush drawn over it. The man soon recovered his senses. He said he did not try to jump from the car, but that bis flight was entirely involuntarily. As soon as ho caught hold of the brasses ho be came "mixed up." He didn't know what happened after, until ho was picked up. Watson House l'reu J.uucli. Sour kroutund pork to-ni glit. Hot lunch to-morrow morning.
