A General Strike May be Expected of all

RIOTING IN STR IT
Three Hoys Were Slio( and Probably
Fatally Wounded and Several j
I
Other People Were More or Less
Seriously Injured in Fights About
the City.
Three hoys were shot and probably
fatally wounded, while several
received less severe wounds Tuesday
in riots which followed the resumption
of service by the Rapid Transit
company. The shooting occurred
in attacks on cars in the northeastern
section.
Market street, the principal business
thoroughfare in the heart of
tlie city, was the scene of disturbances
during the entire day. Cars
were stoned and two policemen were
roughly handled by a mob of sev- j
eral thousand persons. A dozen arrests
were made and the prisoners
placed in a trolley car. This was
stormed and two of the prisoners
escaped.
President Murphy of the Central
V Labor Union still regards a general
8iriKo oi an iraue unions in inu cuy t
"J as inevitable, although Organizer
Pratt is reported to be opposing this
move. A delegation of labor lead-!
era left for Washington Tuesday to
ask Senator Penrose to use his in-;
fluence for a peacable solution of the
trouble.
Members of the State Fenslbles, 1
an independent military organization
of about 200 members, were placed
on duty Tuesday night, armed with;
loaded muskets. They were detailed
in the Kingsington mill district in
the northeast, which is a hotbed of
. _> union sympathizers.
In their first skirmish they were j
badly beaten by the mob, who paid
no attention to the drawn bayonets
and snatched the muskets from the
hands of the young militiamen..
Members of the State Keneitiles, 1
according to Mayor Iteyburn, acting
as though they were on a picnic, allowing
girls in the mill district to
wear their caps and cut the brass
button off their clothing. At one
point a group of rioters captured a
member of the Fencihles and car-;
ried him several hundred feet from
his post, where they stripped him ;
of his coat, hat, cartridge belt atul
gun and threw him into a sower.
A nonunion conductor was badly 1
hurt at Sixth and Market street late |
Tuesday afternoon when a crowd at-j
tacked his ear after a boy had pull- 1
e<i tne tron< y poie rroni tlx1 teeu
wire.. Policemen drove back the
crowd at the point of revolvers and
started the car. It had gone but a
short distance when a heavy iron
weight, thrown from a window,
A. crashed through the roof of the vehicle.
Fifteen policemen quartered in the
barn of the Philadelphia Rapid trail-'
sit company at Ridge avenue and J
York street narrowly escaped death |
when the entire northwest corner of
the building was blown away with
dynamite. The explosion occurred
just as C. O. Pratt was about to
address a meeting of car men at a
hall at Ridge avenue and Dauphin
y*- streets.
This building, as well as others
N in tho vicinity, was shaken by the
shock. How the dynamite was placed
in the car barn is a mystery.
| Tho State Fenclbles, after being i
harrassed and beaten all day by a
I mob of thousands of strike breakers
along Lehigh avenue, wore withdrawn
at nightfall. Tho militia had
been powerless against the mob, but
a half dozen mounted police had
ridden up and down driving the rioters
before them during tho afternoon.
Only two cars were run on
this line during the afternoon, and

both w?re badly shattered by stones.
Policemen in this locality were
fired upon by a strike sympathizer, j
who bad concealed himself in St. !
Simean's church at Lehigh avenue ?,
and Hutchinson street. This enraged
the guardians of the peace and
they returned the fire, hitting \Y. 10.
Collins in the groin. He was removed
to the lOpiscopal hospital. r>

were a number of amendments. One a

An amendment by J. \V. Ashley h

THE TRUE BASiS

Gov. Hughes on (lie Young Mens
Christian Assoeint ion's Platform
ami Service.
Wo are hor today upon a platform
upon w hi oh all good citizens can
stand because there is a knowledge
in t'ais association and In any gathering
of American citizens that character
is til" basis of industry, the
surety of the endurance of the Kepuldic.
What a nobio thing ii is to
see a man well equipped for life's
work, not a narrow-mhi.'oa m-m
one* who tri s to shit ',1 himself from
all pleasures of life that go to make
well rounded and sy'inmet i leal character,
but a young man who realizes
that he is here in the world to do
something and before he can do
something worth while, he must be
something worth while. What a
noble thing it is to see in a democratic
community, with the development
of the capacity for work, which
tend to interfere with proper enforcement
of legislative work, to S""
at the same time the soundness of
the views of our people on what
stands for decency and for justice.
We honor every organization which
attempts to keep men up to the
responsibility of their obligations,
which "attempts to make clear the
duty that Is placed upon them its
free citizens of this republic. IOvery
one of us knows bow soon is the
relapse if we are not held steadfast
to our ideals by social sentiment.
It is a remarkable thing that the
Young Mens Christian Association
has been so successful in providing so
many different fields of activity for
young men. lOducational, or physical
improvement, social, religious;
it seems to comprehend about everything
that a young man needs.
I heard, some years ago, a distinguished
educational expert say
that the object of a liberal education
was the wise conduct of business
and the noble employment of leisure
That seems to be the object of this
association; fitting men to play their
part in life with ability, providing
them resources for the noble employment
of leisure, and giving them
proper notions of how life shold be
spent.
We have had a good deal of overemphasis
in the past on what has
been called success. The young
America has started out fired with
ambition .as he litis frequently read
of the adventures of those who have
proceeded him to obtain what he
calls success; and too frequently,
that goal litis been defined in terms
of accumulation of material benfits
and of prominent position.
In these days, I think, we are taking
a truer view of life. It is a
splendid sight to see the young man
of today jioing forth to make the
most of himself, not for himself
alone, but for the benefit of his fellow
men.
There never was a time in our
history when mere wealth gave i;s
posessor so few advantages as it
does today, in the opinion of h'<
fellows. There never was .a time
when mere place or office, mere title
to distinction, gave a man so li le
as it does today .
The attention of the country is riv
eted upon worth rather than u(.-on
(position, upon die means by whhh
an end has been attained tutu upon
| accumulation. That is a most wholrj
some thing.
There has been a moral r-x'vah a
sharpening of the sense of justice, a
clearer view of the man's obligation
to those around him, a trurer perception
of the limits which a man
| should set for himself in the pursuit
of his ambition, a quiet deter
' initiation on the part of the people
I at large that 110 man shall overstep
those limits and be faithless to his
obligation to the community as a
whole and at the same time e itoy
the public respect. There is nothing
in this country that is worth
having which Involves any forfeiture
of that self-respect which conditions
till true results and every
real achievement.

I'.iniiers Yesterday ami Today.
Only a few years ago the absorb1
r. g n nest ion with the common tanner
south anil west, was "Mow shall I
make buckle ami tongue meet in
providing for my family?" The
thought of putting a dollar away was
not entertained for a moment. The
tight was for broad anil a scanty
variety of food to go with it to meet
i he dailly hunger of the family, and
a few plain clothes?in most in
sianct s not enough lor comfort. All
week long the old fanner and his
children could be seen with their
simple implements of agriculture
bending between the rows early an 1
late working with little heart and
hope; and on Sunday, the father, a
gaunt, shrunken, neglected looking
figure could be seen dejectedly I
Manding about over his mortgaged
lb-Ids, trying to discover some faint
whisper from old mother earth,
beneath his feet, or the sunny seasons
that came and went above his|
head. Little encouragement did he]
find only that nature was his J
friend. The fields would and did
respond liberally to the touch of
his hand, but his crops often sold
for less than it cost to produce them,
and by the time the interest on the
mortgage was paid, little was left
with which to buy calico and cottonados
to scantily clothe his family.
Hut that scene is ehang *d, and
fast changing. Kate seemed to hold
these noble sons of toil to their
fields, and some good spirit, began
to whisper the secret of more intelligent
methods and plans of cul
livation and market, and a recognition
of mutual Interests, until out
of that chaotic condition of abject
slavery has come a new world of
I auty and happiness. Our farmers
are now fast becoming the mos4t
prosperous men in the nation. Their
mortgages have been paid, their
homes have been built, and liberally
supplied with utensils of eoni
..iiwiiw.n I . .u i <11 j f ii rn i 1?i > /1 w i I h I lin
products of skill and art until they
arc attractive, beautiful and inviting.
The inmates have thrown off
the scanty garbs of mere necessity,
' and are now clad with comf 'Vb and
1 are happy. The dejected icok on the
face of the father has given place to
a broad smile of victory, and he
steps about his little kingdom with
the tread of a conqueror and with a
little bank account to his credit, he
smiles when he meets his old mortgagee.
What has been the secret of this
wonderful change in only a decade
et time? The only answer is, ' Industry,
Intelligence and Frugality."
Out of these virtues have grown improved
implements and methods,
agricultural education and enlightenment,
and an organized husbandry.
that has elevated the vocation to
distinction, honor and power.
Today there Is no direction In
( which our young men can turn their
attention with larger promise than
tne rarm. me industry is now nutated
upon stable foundations, and it
has came to abide. No happier
homes are to be found than our
good country homes, and no men
are more highly honored and re>
si ected than the sturdy tillers of
, the soil, and no people enjoy more
j liberty.

steel trust to which the tariff privilege

than doubled. On February I. it was
worth $210,000,000; today it is quoted
at $4 50,000,000. This fact shows,
how "hard the trust was hit." Another
fact worth noting Is that since

has risen S per cent., ijnd
the work of "protection" combinations
