Fifty Thousaml On Strike. Num
ber of Serious Outbreaks A.
ready.
Philadelphia, Pa . March, 7. Disorder
in many parts of the city marked the
first day of Philadelphia's great Sympa
thetic walk-out of organized labor to
back op the fight of the -trolley men
against the "Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company. Nearly every section of theciy
had its tale to tell of cars attacked, or
men assaulted by strikers, or sympa
thizers, or of clashes' with police when
the latter tried to disperse the crowds
Disturbance began in centre of city.
The scene of the most general disiur
bance were in the very center of the
city. The greatest trouble was ex
perienced by the police at Independence
Square, where despite the announce
ment by Mayor Reyburn that no de
monstration could be held on that his
toric ground, a crowd, estimated at
26,000 persons, gathered to participate
in. or watch the demonstration of or
ganized 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 patience, carefulness and steadiness
of the police that no serious outbreak
occurred. A geat crowd of strikers
paraded through the square and were
not molested by the police.
There was a wide d.fference of opin
ion today as to the extent of the strike.
The Committee of Ten of the Cen
tral Labor Union, which is conducting
the strike, in a statement made tonight
announced tnat represontativos show
that 50,000 union men are out and that
the walk-out ha affected 30,000 other
workers.
The statement declared that bakers,
milk wagon drivers, and grocery clerks
were not called out and would not be.
It was not the desire of organized laliur
he Baid, to inconvenience the public to
the extent of naodicapping the delivery
of the neccessaries of life. Some labor
leaders said they figured that 55,o:K)
men responded to tho strike order and
that the number would be greatly in
creased by Monday.

Sev eral days ago Mr, Stephen Ful
ford an aged white man left ths city
with the intention of going to High
Point to b married The old gentlemen
is about 85 years of age and his miud is
in a very feeble condition. He return
ed to the city Saturday night but no
wife was with him hs giving as an ex
cuse that she would arrive in a few
days. Sunday night he was found oa
the streets at a very late hour in a very
serious mental condition. He was taken
to the county jail and will be held un
til an examination as to his sanity can
be made.
But for the prompt forethought and
action of Mr. T F. McCarthy yester
day morning there would have prob
ably have been a serious accident on
Pollock street near Wethington &
Creech's store. A lady who had with
her a small child in a carriage stopped
the vehicle in front of one of the stores
and entered leaving the child in the
carriage. In some way the carriage
began to roll and had almost reached
the curb when Mr. McCarthy saw the
predicament tlie child was - in and ran
.towards it reaching the vehicle just in
the nick of time. But for this the little
one would have undoubtedly been in
stantly killed.

Trade Reports Unfavorable On
Cotton Industry. New Crop
- Outlook Satisfactory.
.Greensboro, N. C, March 5th. Cot
ton has been rather firm this week in
the face of constant reports of poor
business and price reductions in dry
goods, and actual curtailment of im
portance among the mills throughout
the world.
A large part of this improvement
seems to have come from Miin
Strength and Manipulation by the bulls
wbo have frightened the shorts and
hedge sellers of May contracts into be
lieving a"May Corner" to be probable.
Trade reports of the cotton industry
are daily growing worse, except from
England where soma improvement is
noted. Only two months ao cotton
was selling in Liverpool at prices that
enabled the shipping of cotton from
there to New York at a profit. Surely
this was an unusual and unnatural sit
uation. A reaction therefore is natural.
But another reason is that England is
the greatest exporting nation and ihe
high prices of everything, especially
food stuffs, enables England's custom
ers to dispose of their products to su b
advantage, that ihey are buying some
cotton goods. These customer.-, of
course, are not buyers of food and there
fore, '"the high cost of living" does not
concern them except in the reverse
way that it concerns millions of wnge
earners and poor people in the U. S. and
Europe who find it a struggle to get
bread and meat and the purchase ot dry
goods is thereby deferred.
Holders of cotton are pretty firm on
the 15c notch, but and increase of the
offerings would find a dull market.
Spinners are long of both cotton and
cotton gojds and they prefer to see the
market maintained, hoping thereby to
sell some goods and varus. The report n
from the new crop are satisfactory and
indicate a largely increased use of fer- I
tilizera and some acreage increase. Tne j
news from Texas U conflicting, but
that State in several important dial nets
seems to be without ample pubmoisiure.
There is plenty of lime for this and
however, that we can make a short
crop and give Texas a full yield, but we
connot make a big help from Texas
From the present out-look of jj .pply
and demand, there will not be a cotton
famine this year and with next crop
selling un.ler 124c, if there ij any bull
argument, it ought to apply to the new
crop.
Drastic curtailment seems likely to
take place as soon as mills spin their
reserves, whi. h will averaRo probably
two or three months run here in the
South and somewhat more it the North
Curtailment is already taking place
to a larger extent than is generally
known, because many mills refine to
give out information of this nature.
The goods and yarn markets are nl
most demoralized und price cutting und
long datings fail to attract buyers.
