Union Men of All Trades Rally
Around Union Labor Standard to
! Back Up Fight of Trolley Men
Against PhiUdelphIa Car Company.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Disorder inmany
parts of the city marked the first day
of Philadelphia’s great sympathetic
■walk-out of organized labor to back
up the fight of the trolley men against
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany. Nearly every section of the
city had its tale to tell erf cars at
tacked, of men assaulted by strikers,
or sympathizers, or of clashes with
police when the latter tried to dis
perse the crowds.
The scene of the most general dis
turbances was in the very center ol
the city. The greatest trouble was
experienced by the police at Indepen
dence Square, where, despite the aa-
Bouncement by Major Reybifm that
no demonstraticm could be held on
that historic ground, a crowd esti
mated at 25,000 persons gathered to
participate in or watch the demon
stration of organized labor.
Policemen, mounted and afoot, were
there by the score with strict orders
to keep the crowd moving. This was
accomplished, and it is due to the pa-
ticnce, carefulness and steadiness of
the police that no serious^ outbreaks
occurred. A great crowd of strikere
paraded througn tfle square and were
not molested by the police.
Thftre was a wide difference of opin
ion as to the extent of the strike. The
committee of ten of the Central La
bor Union, which Is conducting the
strike, in a statement made, an
nounced that reports show that 70,-
000 union men are out and that the
walk-oift has * affected 20,000 other
workers.
