BIG STATE STRIKE HAS BEEN GALLED

Monday Set For Laborers To Lay Aside Their Tools. PEACE PLANS PROVE FUTILE Rumored Gov. Stewart Will Call a Special Session To Pass Compulsory Arbitration LawPeace May Yet Come. Philadelphia, March 18.—Settlement of the car strike and the return to work of the union men who struck in sympathy with the carmen, turns upon the condition of the reinstatement without prejudice of the 178 motormen and conductors who were discharged by the transit company. This condition blocked an agreement between the company and its men. Vice President Wolf of the P. R. T., who represents a majority of the board of directors, refused to grant the terms offered by C. O. Pratt, leader of the strikers. Wolf maintains very firmly that the company shall not be challenged in the right to hire and discharge workmen. Pratt contends that the right to hire or discharge is not attacked, but that the company's abuse of the right is the point at issue. There were conferences yesterday afternoon and last evening. At times the settlement seemed certain. But Wolf remained unmoved and insisted that the company could not stultify itself by re-employing the 178. Pratt, having been informed by E. E. Greenwait, president of the state Federation of Labor that a state-wide strike would be ordered for Monday in case the company remained obdurate, pressed his demands with confidence. No other issue remained between the company and the men, but the one mentioned could not be got over. As soon as .Greenwalt was told that an agreement seemed unlikely, ho telegraphed orders-to all unions affiliated with the State Federation to go on strike Monday next. The order advanced the sympathetic strike four days. The call originally named Friday, March 25 There is a story that a special session of the Pennsylvania legislature is to be called by Gov. Stewart in case the P. R. T and the men do not copie together in the next day or two for the purpose of enacting a compulsory aribtration law. There will be more conferences today between representatives of carmen and those acting for the transit company

CENSUS TAKING IS EXPLAINED BY TAFT

Issues a Proclamation Asking the People to Co-Operate President Taft has issued a proclamation urging all persons in the United States ‘‘to answer promptly, completely, and accurately all inquiries addressed to them by the enumerators or other employes who will be engaged in the taking of the thirteenth decennial census.” The work of taking the census will begin on April 12. The president’s proclamation is issued for the purpose of informing those ignorant of its workings that they are expected to cooperate with the employes of the census bureau, and will be liable to penalties if they fail to do so. The president reassures the public that the information will be treated as confidential, saying that “every em ploye of the census bureau is prohit: ited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may come to his knowledge.” 0 This part of the proclamation is destined to still the fears of many persons that the information required of them may be used in some way to the detriment of their personal or business Interests. The sole purpose of the census, the president states, is to fulfill the requirement of the United States constitution, for the purpose of determining the representation of the several states in the national house of representatives To meet the demands of a large number of citizens of foreign birth the senate passed a bill amending the census law so as to include information regarding the race of such persons. As the law stands, it. requires mention only of the country of origin, but objection was made that this phraseology was not sufficiently definite. Especial objection was made on the part of immigrants from Austria-Hungary, whose population is composed of a number of separate races.
