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.
