Newcastle, Pa, March 10.—The ninth annual convention of the State Federation of Labor, in session here, unanimously adopted-a resolution ask- ing that in the event of an arbitra. tion of the Philadelphia strike ques: tion failing the American Federation of Labor call a nationwide strike of organized and unorganized workmen: The resolution was presented to the delegates by’ W. D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway employes, who with ten members of that organi- zation arrived here from Philadelphia and asked that he be allowed to ad- dress the convention. Permission was granted and Mr. Ma- hon, in a stirring address, asked for a motion to adopt the resolution. The motion was forthcoming promptly and passed with a unanimous rising vote, the delegates cheering. Mr. Mahon alleged that the Philadel- phia” Rapid Transit company had so far acted against organized labor with a view of throttling every organized trade in that city and county and had been assisted in so doing by city offi- cials of Philadelphia. He asserted tnat the only method for remedy, it arbitration failed, was a national strike, calling out men and women or- ganized and unorganized the country over. As Mr. Mahon ceased speaking the convention burst into wild cheer- ing. Belated Trains Arriving. Ogden, Utah, March 10.—Eight be- lated trains, including the last of those which were floodbound on the |- Southern Pacific road in Nevada, haye arrived here. Passengers on ' these trains had left San Francisco as early as Feb. 25. After being held at Bat- tle Mountain, Ney., four dsys they were returned to Sacramento and ‘de- toured to Portland. PHILADELPHIA 1S QUIET AGAIN No Disorder Follows Gun Play by Nonunionists. CLAIN TO BE MAKING GAINS Union Leaders. Declare the Strike 8pirit Is Growing and That Many Unorganized Workers Are Being Made Converts to the Cause of Trades Unionism—Textile Manufac- turers Threaten to Close Down Per- manently. Philadelphia, March 10.—Despite the excitement created by the “shooting up” of one of the principal thorough- fares by a trolley carload of alleged strikebreakers from St. Louis no se- rious demonstrations followed against the trolley cars in operation. C. 0. Pratt, the organizer of the carmen, denounced the affair, which resulted in three men and a fourteen- year-old girl being taken to a hospital, suffering from bullet wounds received when the trolley men fired from a swiftly moving car into the crowd. He 8aid it was the usual last resort of the desperate strikebreakers, who, find- ing everything quiet, shoot up a town to incite trouble. The victims of the bullets are not seriously hurt. Notwithstanding Director of Public Safety Clay declared that the general strike feeling is on the wane the la- bor leaders declare that they are steadily gaining ground. Many meet- ings of unorganized workers are be- ing addressed by prominent labor or- ganizers each day and night. Many converts to the cause of trades union- ism are reported. Some of the special dispensations are being withdrawn by the union and it was declared that 600 bakers would join the strike. Stick to Original Estimates. Strike leaders said they had no rea- #on to change their estimates that be- tween 125,000 and 150,000 persons are idle as a result of the calling of the general strike. The city administra- tion continues to belittle the walkout, Director of Public Safety Henry Clay adhering to his statement that less than 20,000 responded to the strike call. The director’s figures are’ con- sidered too low, as hosiery manufac- turers, only one branch of the textile industry, admits that 27,000 workers in that line alone are now idle. The action of the Philadelphia Hosiery Manufacturers’ association in shutting down their mills until Mon- day with a threat that if the workers do not return on that day a shut down until fall will occur is likely to be fol- lowed by a similar movement in other industries. - The hosiery association represents 756 per cent of the local output from -180 mills. Owners of tapestry carpet mills may also shut down until Monday. 5 The section of the city suffering most from the strike is Kensington, where the great majority of mills of all kinds are situated. TESTIFIES FOR SWITCHMEN 8amuel Gompers Declares Their Wage Demands Are Just. Chicago, March 10.—Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, was the first witness called to the stand on behalf of the Switchmen’s Union of North America, whose wage dispute with eight rail- roads is now under discussion before a board of arbitration provided by the Erdman act. The labor leader testified that, in his judgment, the work of switchmen is the most hazardous of that of any class of workingmen. This, he says, is evident by the fact that life insur- ance premiums for switchmen are higher than for other craftsmen. Mr. Gompers also declared that there has been a marked increase in the cost of living since 1908. This advance, he said, made it imperative that the switchmen’s demands should be granted. TRUST EARNS BIG DIVIDENDS American Tobacco Company Cleared Fifty Per Cent Last Year. New York, March :10.-—The Ameri- can Tobacco company, which is now before the United States supreme court fighting dissolution, made public the anaual report of the corporation.
