New Castle, Pa. March 9— (Bulletin) . —Declaring that the only remedy for an arbitration of the Philadelphia strike is a national strike, the Federation here today adopted resolutions to teat effect and a committee of nine was appointed to aid in making it effective. The meeting was an enthusiastic one* Philadelphia, Pa., March 9—(Special to Daily Democrat)—At noon today the doors of the Baldwin Locomotive Worls . were thrown open and 2,800 of the 12.0(H) men walked out. An hour later aa mm more quit andJ It Is said tfoat. by night the entire force will have ceased work. Eleven hundred of . the 2,000 meh at the Stansberg plant quit today. The pitched battle between< a car of strike breakers and a crowd of union sympathisers Tuesday night, in which six persons, one a young girl, were shot, has accentuated a bitter feeling against the car company and It is feared that the rioting will be renewed tonight The fact that so far nearly all the persons hurt have been non-combatanta has caused the belief that the police and strike breakers are causing all thetrouble. There is no question but that the strike is not a success. The union officials admit that while 125,000 men walked out at the first call, many have returned to work. Those in* the. Henderson district, where the textile industry is strongest, are still out The announcement that eighty-eight per cent of the hosiery manufacturers will close down their plants for An indefinite time, if their former employees do not return to work by. next Monday, is expected to result Jn the men going back to work. The Federation of Labor in session at NOW Castle is expected to pass a sympathy resolution but not a general strike resolution. The Transit company say they are running more cars today than any time during the strike. WHEN YOU'RE A8 HOARSE as a crow. When you’re coughing and gasping.
