Philadelphia Labor Unions
Try
New Tactics.
TRADE SERIOUSLY AEFEGTED.
Wo Merchant Who Sells to the
Transit Company or to Its Non
union Employees to Be
Patronized.
Philadelphia. March 8. The lnbor
unions have Inaugurated u boycott as
an adjunct to the general strike. Or
ders have been sent to every labor
union man in Philadelphia not to pat
ronize Rtorv that sell supplies to the
Philadelphia Kapid Transit company
or Its employees.
The labor leaders have estimated
that they can deprive the merchants
of this city of $1,000,000 worth of husl
ncss a day and that they can force
the business interests of the city to
take their sides in the light if the
pressure is maintained hum enough
and severely enough. Kvery kind of
mercantile institution lias been seri
ously affected by the boycott, even in
this early stage.
Saloon keepers are complaining that
their bars are banned because they
have sold beer to the loyal employees
of the Rapid Transit company. Store
keepers in Kensington, Germantown.
Frankford and other centers of the
strike have been hurt sorely. Their
business has fallen off markedly. They
are considering an appeal to the city
authorities. They want to know why
it is not possible under the laws to
punish criminally persons who are re
sjionsiblc for the loss to which they
have been subjected
The firm attitude of .Mayor Iteyburn I
and Director of Public Safety Henry
Clay has had much to do with re
straining the men on strike and their
sympathizers. After the decision ot
the mayor and ids advisers to arrest
the labor union leaders who are re
sponsible for the present condition of
affairs liecnmc known the leaders bur-
i.Sinr'-r.ertT WW(TtirlireTr lieutenant
actively in command of the strikers to ,
kcep their men peaceful and to dls-
courage rioting. The orders were1
sharp. The minor leaders were told!
that thev would be held responsible
for any trouble that might occur.
The result shows. In the opinion oi
the city otlicials, that tho leaders can
prevent disorder if they have a mind
to do so. Heretofore they have insist
ed that they were not responsible foi
the stoning of cars.
The union leaders at a mass meet
lug of strikers in Lalior Lyceum hall
asserted that there were 125,000 men
on strike. Among those who spoke at
the meeting were "W. D. Malum, Wil
liam .1. Tracey. Tim Healy and James i
V Wall, vice president of the State'
Federation of Labor.
The meeting adopted resolutions call
lag on every man, woman and child
in Philadelphia to come" to the aid oi
the labor unions in their fight,
O. t). Pratt, director of the car strike,
and President W. M. Mnlion of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
Hallway Employees, have gone te
Newcastle, Pa., to confer with l'edera
lion of Labor leaders there with a
vlew to getting an order for a state
wide strike that will btop every cut
wheel in Pennsylvania.
State Wide Strike Expected.
Pittsburg. March 8. Within the next
forty-eight hours, if Pittsburg labor i
leaders can effect It, all union work-
men in Hie state of Pennsylvania will
be ordered to stop work in sympathy
with the strlklug street car men of
Philadelphia. President William Kel-
ly of Hie Iron City Central Trades
count n 't the movement on foot, and
he is backed by Business Agent J. J.
Thorpe of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street and Electric Railway
Employees of America. Kelly made
the following announcement:
"1 am In favor of it general strike
over the entire state. The Philadel
phia strikers have the sympathy of
the laboring men in all parts of tho
country, and 1 feel sure that if n vote
was taken for thu general strike
throughout the stute there would not
be a dissenting vote. I have personal
ly visited Philadelphia and assured
the strikers that wu are with them
and that I favor action."
Thorpe of the street riillwuy men
said. ."We are given to uuderstuud
that the employers' associations in
Pittsburg and other places have ad
vised the Philadelphia corporations to
remain firm mid are giving aid to
down the laboring men. Tho union
men will not stand Idly by and allow
the employers to do this. They will
light for the preservation of the labor
movement, and n general strike
throughout the state will be the u
sult. The Philadelphia strikers have
the sympathy nnd the supjxirt of every
laboring man In the United States and

News Snapshots
Of the Week
' in New
reported
all tlv union workers in the city. Glfford Pinchot testitled In the Itallinger-l'lnchot investigation that he believed, he had Secretarj Wilson's permis
sion to write to Senator Dolllver about the charges against Sir. BaHliier This Mr. YVIlsun denied.
"Would not n general strike In Pitts
burg at this time be a violation of the
existing contracts?" Thorpe was asked.
"Well, there are several ways that
matter would be looked at." replied
Thorpe, "but my answer to that tpies
tlon is that In time of war there can
be no violation of any kind. I con
sider that war is being made on the
labor movement us a result of the
Philadelphia strike."
ESTABLISHES A PRECEDENT.
Flans on State Buildings In Albany
Half Masted For Thomas C. Piatt.
Albany, X. V., .March S. Considera
ble comment was caused at the capltol
hy the fact that the department of pub
lie buildings placd the tlags on state
buildings at half mast on account or
the death of former United States
Senator Thomas C. Piatt, and after
the. colors had been so displayed for
several hours there was a change
made, and the tlags were run to the
masthead. "
Inquiry as to the meaning of the
change developed the fact that Adju-
taut General rseison u. iicnrj uuu
been looking for a precedent for the
display of the tlags at half mast on
account of the deaths of former Unlt-
ed States senators and had been un
able to find nP.y. Then the department
of public buildings was notified to that
effect, and the tlags were run up to the
masthead.
Adjutant General Henry later went
to the executive department, where he
conferred with Governor Hughes. The
governor directed the adjutant general
to establish u precedent In this case

OUT lira
Washington, .March 7. Republi
can leaders are outlining nlans for
the campaign next fall for the elec-iwi11
tion of a majority of the House in friends of George S. Welsh, a form
the Sixty-second Congress. The Re- er Hnwley boy, and a son of Mr. and
publican Congressional Campaign -Mrs- J- s- Welsh, of this place:
committee has organized by the re- "George Welsh of this city, of the
election of Representative McKinley llrm of Welsh, Sturdevant & Poggi,
of Illinois, as chairman, and Repre-
I sentative Loudenslnger, of Xew Jer
sey, secretary. Pennsylvania is rep
resented on the committee by J.
Hampton .Moore, of Philadelphia.
The Republicans realize that they
will have a hard fight to retain con
trol of the House. Pennsylvania
and other stalwart Republican
'states are expected to return the
3sual strong' Republican delegations
but tho conditions in tho west are
such as to present a situation full
of uncertainty. Nearly all of the
self-styled "progressive" Republi
cans of that section will be candi
dates for re-election. By voting'
with the Democrats in the House they i
have placed themselves In a posi-' Court's Decision of Interest to Fixa
tion where they can expect no sup- ternal Bodies,

House. Champ. Clark, the leader of , where.

the course of the insurgent Republi
cans will give the Democrats at least
fifteen additional seats in the next
House.
As the Republican leader in Penn
sylvania, Senator Penrose has been
consulted regarding tho political
conditions In that state. In IU04
when President Roosevelt was the
presidential candidate Pennsylvania
elected thirty-one Republican mem
bers of tho House and ono Demo
crat. Two years ago Democrats in
creased their congressional represen
tation to five. Since then Congress
has enacted the Pnyno tariff law,
which has brought a renewal of In
dustrial activity throughout Penn
sylvania. Senator Penrose believes
that tho people of the Keystone state
will take udvnntago of tho oppor
tunity that will be presented next
fall to record at the polls an Indorse
ment of the new tariff law and or
the party whifli placed it upon tho
statutes. Ho confidently expects
the Republicans to reclaim some of
the districts now represented by
Democrats and believes thnt with
proper effort they may elect us lurge
a Republican delegation as they did
In 11104. Through the efforts of
Senators Penrose and Oliver, Penn
sylvania secured nearly everything
it demanded In the rovlBlon of tho
tariff schedules und they hope that
tho people of the state will give ex-
nresston at the polls of their satis
faction with Republican policies by
olectlng Republican candidates for
Congress. All of tho Pennsylvania
Republicans In Washington appear
confident thnt the. Keystone state
will mnko a splendid showing In tho
congressional elections. In addi
tion to tho satisfaction of tho peo
ple of Pennsylvonla ovor tho Payne
law is tho fact that tho Republicans
there are In perfect harmony. Un
der tho leadership of Senator Pen
rose tho Republican hostB hayo boen
united as they never wero united
under the leadership of Simon Cam
eron or Matthew Stanley Quay. Tho
state Is free from debt and Is fur
nishing other commonwealths nn cx
amplo of good government. Its Re
publicanism has remained free from
damage. Khartum prepared to welcome Roosevelt. The cxarina was again
centered In tho calling out b President Mut-pln f the t'i ui I. ! uui"t .f
the taint of "progressive Republl

prediction that Pennsylvania will
make a satisfactory showing In tho
congressional elections from the Re-
publican viewpoint seems entirely
justifiable.

Restraint of Trade.
New York, March S. An alleged
poultry trust was before Judge Dele
lianty here in a suit brought by Sam
uel Werner to recover $1,320 for poul
try delivered to Henry Syrop. Syrop

he and the Werner concern were mem
bers of a combination in restraint of
trade and tiiat this not only relieved
him of paying for the fowls he got,
but entitled him to have the x.'OO back
that'he paid the trust to join.

suit that he entered Into an agree
ment with the Werner concern for the
purpose of selling poultry at fixed
prices arbitrarily created and estab

bination lias had the. sole charge xtt
all the live poultry delivered in Atan

He Half Killed Banker.
! BEAT HIM WITH IRON BAR.
She Explains That She Had Been
Out With Lillis In New Auto
and Had Invited Him
to Her Home.
Kansas City, Mo.. March 8. Jcrc 8.
Lillis, president of the Western Ex
change bank, who wns mutilated with
a knife when John P. Cudahy, son ot
the wealthy Omaha packer, came
homo nnd found him with Mrs. Cuda
hy, will recover. At St. Mary's hospi
tal It is said that his wounds, while
severe, are not dangerous. He will be
scarred for life.
Mrs. Cudahy made the following
statement as to her husband's attack
on the banker:
"This row all began over n new nu
tomobile which Mr. Lillis had bought.
He had told me some time ago that h
was going to buy tills machine, and I
asked liiin to let me have the first ride
In It, and he promised me that he
would.
"Mr. Cudahy was out of town, I
thought. He told nie when he went
away "that he was going to Greenfield,
Kan., to see about some cattle. I told
that to our chauffeur, whose name is
Fenn. And 1 told lilm that 1 was
going to take this ride with Mr. Lillis.
"I believe now that Fenn went at
once and told Mr. Cudahy that I was
going riding with Mr. Lillis.
"Anyway, the car came, and Mr. Lil
lis and I took the ride. It was a beau
tiful day. We went away out in the
country over the rocky roads.
"We had such a delightful ride that
we decided to repeat It the following
dny.. We did so, and we stopped nt the
Country club. Then wq made up out
minds U go down nnijl cat at the Bal
timore. We went down to the Balti
more nnd had luncheon nnd then went
away.
"The next night we went out riding
the third time. We got home rather
late, and I asked Mr. Lillis to come In
and stay awhile. We went into the
library, and we had only been there
Just a minute or two, Just chatting to
gether about commonplace things,
when who should rush Into the room,
all excited and his eyes Muring like
two coals of fire, but my husband.
Fenn, our chauffeur, was with him.
"When they came In they grabbed
Mr. Lillis and began pounding him
over the head with some sort of a con
trivance out of the automobile. The
way they beat lilm was awful. It
looked to me like an Iron bar they
used. It was as big as a man's arm.
Why, I expected to see lilm killed any
minute.
"I ran cut because I thought they
would try to kill nie too. I stood on
the stairs and watched. 1 saw them
tie .Mr. Lillis with a rope, and then I
ran upstairs. My maid, Frieda, came
running upstairs and told nie they
were cutting Mr. Lillis to pieces.
"Then I thought of the police, and I
ran to the telephone and called up the
police station. They had that rope
tied around him In such a way that
when they pulled on It It doubled him
up like a Jackknife. I rushed down
stairs again and tried to interfere, but
my husband lilt me in the face with
ids fist, and Fenn said. 'Kick her out.'
At that time the police came in."
John P. Cudahy refused to discuss
the case In any way or tell what hap
pened in ills house.
