parts of the city during morning, es
pecially In the mill district.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 21.
Although street cars are running on
all lines today, the system is pretty
-nell tied up. With the exception of
a few passengers, most of the people
preferred walking to take chances
of being hit by bilclo or other
missies thrown at the cars. The
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany Issued a statement that It only
had COO cars running today although I
It has men enough to handle 1,200 If ,
policeman were available to protect '
them. There will be no service after (5
o'clock today except on the subway
and elevated lines.
Strikers claim that G.500 men out
of about 7,000 are on strike and
that the company Is running cars
with strikebreakers and power house
employes.
Sensational reports of police hav
ing pistol battles with mobs are un
true. Most of the disorder was oc
casioned by boys. Of one hundred ar
rests made yesterday, the majority
were under 21 years of age. There
was bloodshed yesterday, however,
four persons being hit by bullets, but
they were occasioned by people In
crowds firing into the air. One of
the amusing sights of the strike was
to see men and not a few women
going to work on roller skates.
Under a proclamation by the
ma) or, people are not permitted to
congregate on the streets.
