and other establishments that have been affected by the sympathetic strike employ 54,954 hands, and of these 18,407 are out on strike. There are 121,239 employes In other establishments, not affected by the strike, and this gives, by the police figures a total of 170,193 employes, of which number only 18,407 are out, and many of these have quit work, it is declared, not because of any desire on their part to go on strike or from sympathy with the striking carmen, but because they have been forced out bv the action of a certain branch of their trade. For instance, it is said, at the Bromley carpet and rug mill, about 300 dyers quit work and thia compelled the shutting down of the plant and the enforced idleness of about 2,300 other employes. Director Clay says that his list has been compiled with the greatest care, and that he has no reason to question Its accuracy. An important order was issued late in the day by the commandant of the Philadelphia navy yard.

The order as promulgated forbids the. granting of leaves of absence to men In the yards and on the vessels of the station during the strike troubles in this city. Liquor Men to Aid Peace Efforts. Another peacemaking measure was announced to-day by Secretary Neil Bonner, of the Retail Liquor Dealers' association, in the action of the association requesting its members, as well as other cafe proprietors to close their bars, should disorder occur in the vicinity and keep them closed until the trouble subsides. A general willingness on the part of the proprietors to comply with the request was indicated in to-day's reports to the association's officials.

One of the Incidents of the day in the strike movement was a parade of a small band of men in Allegheny avenue, which was broken up by the police without just cause, the men claim. An American flag was carried at the head of the straggling procession and as the marchers passed a hosiery mill on the avenue, near Front street, onlookers said they made an attempt to persuade the workers at that factory to join the sympathetic strike. Their effort was unsuccessful, and the police claim that the marchers became disorderly and their ranks had to be broken up. Clubs were used freely and the marchers were dispersed. Two arrests were made.

Builders Angry at Strikers. The master builders met late to-day at the Builders' exchange, adopted resolutions condemning the sympathy strike and discussed tentatively action against some of the bodies of men who Joined the general strike movement. It is asserted that agreements made by employers with more than one of the bodies in the building trades have been deliberately violated by the men walking out in the sympathetic strike. The resolutions call upon the leaders of the labor organizations which ordered the general strike to reconsider their action at once. Four thousand mm and women to-day attended a maws meeting of the strikers In Labor lyceum.

at Sixth and Brown streets. An overflow meeting was held In another hall nearby and hundreds, who were unable to gain an entrance to either, gathered on the sidewalks outside. Murphy, Tracey and others of the strike leaders addressed the crowds. T.ie city administration was bitterly, denounced for its attitude In the present crisis and the speakers were especially vehement In criticisms of the employment of negro policemen. One of them declared Mayor Bitterly Denounced.

"Our rulers have put a club Into the black man's hand with which to club out the white man's Every reference to Mayor Reyburn. or the city hall "ring" was greeted with groans and hoots by the audienee. The assertion by several speakers that the present fight was for organized labor's very existence in Philadelphia evoked noisy demonstration. Luella M. Twining, a woman organizer of the Western Federation of Miners, was one of the speakers.

John M. Wall, an official of the Massachusetts Central Labor union, assured the Philadelphia strikers that they would receive financial support from his State. Resolutions calling upon every man, woman and child in Philadelphia to quit work were adopted with cheers. There was a slight disturbance outside the Lyceum before the meeting when a few stones were thrown at parsing cars, but the police quickly cleared the streets without making any arrests. Three Sent to Hospitals.

As the crowds were leaving the hall, however, there was a graver outbreak of disorder. Sereral cars were stoned on Sixth street. In front of the strikers' meeting place. The police, of whom there were at least 50 within the radius of a square, charged the crowd, which was, however, so dense that It dispersed slowly. The bluecoats swung their clubs, felling several persons to the ground, three of whom were so badly beaten that they were taken to a hospital.

When the policemen fired their revolvers several times in the air the people scattered in all directions. Six arrests were made. After considering the strike situation for more than three hours this afternoon the board of directors of the United Business Men's association appointed a committee of seven to call a convention of the banking, commercial and trade bodies, business associations and religious and fraternal organizations to take all just and honorable means to effect a settlement of the street car strike. In the proposed convention each organization will be represented by three delegates. ecnnes To Offer His Data Commander Peary Says Contracts With Publishers Prevent Such Action.

COMMITTEE IS DIVIDED. Three Members Urge Granting of Recognition Without Further Delay. LETTER WRITERS ARE BUSY BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. WASHINGTON, March 7. Com-mander Peary declined to-day to sub-init to Congress the proofs of his 'discovery of the north pole.

He Bent in care of Representative Alexander, of New York, a statement written in the third person and addressed to the sub-committee of the House committee on naval affairs, in which he set forth his reasons for refusing to send his data to the committee. The statement follows: "Commander Peary and his friends say that contracts signed months ago with his publishers render it impossible to make his records and scientific data public now. It would not only subject Peary to heavy damages a loss which he cannot meet, having just extricated himself from debt incurred in connection with his various expeditions but it would be breaking faith with his publishers, which he is unwilling to do under any circumstances." Committee Is Divided. After hearing statements by Representatives Hobson, of Alabama, and Moore, of Pennsylvania, urging the granting of a congressional reward to Peary, irrespective of the question of his proofs, the committee adjourned until Wednesday without taking any action. Of the committee of seven members, Jt is known that Representatives Roberts, Butler and Macon are opposed to granting recognition to Commander Peary unless the proofs of his discovery of the pole are submitted to Congress and made public.

Representatives Bates, Dawson and Gregg have not committed themselves, and Representative Engelbright favors granting an award to the officer. Both Mr. Hobson and Mr. Moore vigorously urged the committee to-day to honor Commander. Peary without further quibbling over the proofs.

The former declared that the granting of the rank of a retired admiral was none too much honor to bestow. He argued that the Indorsement of Peary's proofs by the National Geographic society was sufficient. Representative Macon told the committee since he 'ted rublicly a few days ago that he would insist upon seeing Mr. Peary's proofs and was opposed to any "legislation in the dark" on the subject, he had received letters containing 3,000 Signatures, indorsing his stand. Asks Pointed Question.

The committee has received a mass of interesting communications on the subject. One is from H. L. Hopkins, secretary and treasurer of the American Association of Masters, Mates and Pilots, questioning the reports of Mr. Peary's sounding taken in the vicinity of the north pole.

"How in time did Peary, with one man, sound in 1,500 fathoms of water?" wrote Mr. Hopkins to the committee. This has reference to a paragraph in Mr. Peary's report on tidal observations, having to do with a sounding made by him and Matt Hensen five miles from the pole. It developed at to-day's meeting of the sub-committee that, although the Royal A Safe and Convenient Depositary for Your avings.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. plan to raise the bridge 17 feet in the middle and 20 feet at the Pittsburgh end. No such change was contemplated, said, under the present program, and the report might properly be considered new business.

Following the reading of the report a resolution was promptly presented, by which the recommendations of the committee were shelved in so far as their being used in the impending hearing by the United States engineers is concerned. Originally the resolution called for a committee of five engineers, but this was amended to include three rivermen and the bridge committee of the chamber. Facts From Colonel Newcomer. Colonel H. C.

Newcomer, head of the United States engineering corps in the Pittsburgh district, presented facts and figures bearing on the matter of navigation as affected by the present spans over the Allegheny river. He said the channel span of the Sixth street bridge should be 47 feet above pool level. In order to elevate the bridges to the proper height. Colonel Newcomer stated, the structures would have to be raised above their present elevation as follows: Sixth street bridge, 13 feet; Seventh street, 12.1 feet; Ninth street, 13.7 feet; Fort Wayne railroad, 12.6 feet; Sixteenth street, 16 feet; Thirtieth street, 8 feet; Pittsburgh Junction railroad, 9.6 feet; Forty-third street, 16.3 feet. The grades on the street approaches to the bridges would not be changed by the elevation of the spans.

Colonel Newcomer said, but the grades on the bridges themselves would be Increased considerably. The grade on the Sixth street structure would be 4.35 per cent on both sides, with a level Etreet in the middle. The present grade of the approach is 2.72 per cent on the Pittsburgh side and 3.64 per cent on the Northstde. Grades on the other structures would be increased substantially. Damages That Would Result.

In raising the Sixteenth street bridge, Colonel Newcomer stated, the damages from a necessary fill would be about $10,000, while a long approach that would be needed if the Thirtieth street span were elevated would cost about $50,000 In damages. W. D. Snodgrass followed Colonel Newcomer and read a paper containing arguments In favor of raising the bridges. A.

J. Kelly and A. J. Logan interposed to prevent the reading of Mr. Snodgrass' views, but President Smith ruled the paper in order.

Mr. Snodgrass pointed out that In 1907 the crest of the flood came within 14 feet of the highest part of the floor of the Sixteenth street bridge. Had the water and ice been a little higher a gorge would have been formed and great destruction of property and possibly of life would have resulted. Towboats, he declared, can run freely from New Orleans up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, to meet xne nrst oostruction at the Sixth etreet bridge. Owing to the inability to navigate the Allegheny river, Mr.

Snodgrass maintained, many manufacturing plants which otherwise would locate up the Allegheny valley, thus allowing all shipments to pa3s through Pittsburgh, are now moving their industries down the Ohio, where better river transportation facilities are afforded. Made Clear by Mr. Snodgrass. "The grade on the Sixth street bridge when raised will be 27 per cent less than the grade on Fifth ivi-nue when the hump is cut," said a speaker. "If teams cannot haul over the grade on this bridge when raised they cannot operate on the Point bridge or out Fifth avenue or Forbes street owing to Soho hill; they cannot reach East Liberty by way of Penn avenue because of the grade at the forks of the road; they cannot haul on hundreds of miles of streets within the city limits." D.

P. Black contended the Inconvenience to pedestrians should be considered in deciding the matter. He said the tonnage on the rivers was small compared with the tonnage by freight and hauling over the bridges. John C. Fisher, an old-time riverman, and T.

M. Ree got into a dispute about the need of raising the bridges, the former contending boats could go under the bridges at their present elevation, while Mr. Rees declared it could not be done unless the pilots disobeyed the navigation laws. J. Frank Tilley and others spoke In favor of raising the bridges, while D.

P. Black, A. J. Logan and others wanted the matter Investigated further. The question on the adoption of the resolution being put finally, it was adopted.

He was 1st as tired and weak In the morning on rising as he was after a day's work. His oid-time vigor seemed wanting and every effort required extra energy. At times he seemed to be dazed and unable to concentrate his mind on his work. His appetite was variable and food failed to give him strength. The urine was often less than normal and on standing became cloudy and precipitated a heavy sediment.

His whole body felt sore, stirf and tired. The hands and feet were cold and skin dry. His heud ft It heavj- and a duil headache often occurred. At times thwe was a dull aching pain in the kidneys which often extended downward and forward toward the bladder. At last Mr.

ATHLET TO KEEP IN GOOD TRIM MUST LOOK WELL TO THE CONDITION OF THE SKIN. TO THIS END THE BATH SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH HAND SAPOI I fu-j-V 3- a uiui General Coxey, of Commonweal Fame, Gives Views on Philadelphia Situation, BLAMES PUBLIC OFFICERS. Emma Goldman, Woman Leader of Anarchists, Believes in General Walkout. "Should the 10 labor leaders in Philadelphia be incarcerated, it would be the worst move made in connection with the strike In that city and might cause inestimable harm throughout the said General J. S.

Coxey, of Massillon, who first gained prominence by leading an army of unemployed workingmen to Washington to appeal to Congress to issue non-interest-bearing bonds to Me spent In making good roads. "The strike is a bad thing, but will ultimately result in educating the people to think, and may lead to an investigation of conditions in Philadelphia, which are worse than in any other city of the United States," continued Mr. Coxey. The former leader of the "Commonweal" army, who is in this city in connection with his sand business, last night talked generally of conditions throughout the country, saying that business Is more prosperous than for a long: time, which makes the Philadelphia strike especially to be deplored. "The whole trouble lies in the fact that the people do not think.

If the strike will educate them to do that, then it will be a good thing," said the general. "When people ignore the law and the courts and begin to believe that all public officials are grafters, then conditions are becoming bad. Public Officials Are Blamed. "That is what things are leading to here, and many public officials, intoxicated with success, are bringing us to a condition similar to that of countries of Europe, which resulted in their downfall." G-eneral Coxey does not believe that sympathetic strikes are beneficial, saying that the men should continue at work, and if they wish, contribute money to the cause of their fellow-workmen. "When they strike themselves, they lose their provender, so what is the use?" was the way he stated the case.

The high price of foodstuffs was touched upon by the Ohioan, who said that one of the principal reasons for the present conditions was that thoso wishing to farm did not have sufficient funds with which to buy lands and that the present number of farmers was not sufficient to supply the demand. "About Ave years ago, when wheat was selling at 75 cents a bushel and all farm products were cheap, the young fellows came to the city, where they could make more money, thus depleting the farms. Then food became higher, but wages did not advance in proportion. Consequently now when farming is a paying business, the men who know somethig of it, and would take up that occupation, do not have the money to do so. The Government could solve the difficulty and cause a reduction of prices by lending money to prospective farmers to be paid back after a couple of crops were raised," said General Coxey.

Emma Goldman Has Her Say. Strike conditions in Philadelphia and throughout the country In general were also dwelt upon last night by Emma Goldman, the woman anarchist, who is In this city on her annual lecture tour. "The union strike Is out of date and laboring men will have to realize that a general strike is their only means of gaining their point," said Miss Goldman. "The employers can count upon the protection of the police and soldiers, but the laboring men must seek protection through co-operation, which means a general strike." Miss Goldman stated that labor leaders are not responsible for the general strike, economic conditions and combinations of capital bringing this Fituatioa over tne heads of the workingmen. Police Director Henry Clay, of Philadelphia, was highly complimented by Miss Goldman, who, however, stated that Mayor Reyburn is too "weak kneed" to hold office.

BOYCOTT WEAPONS IN STRIKE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. night that another outbreak of rioting will mean the execution of warrants against the committee of 10 of the Central Labor union and other leaders, who are directing the big strike. Guard Is Next Peace-Maker. The city officials and the merchants agree that a sympathetic strike need alarm nobody, so long as rioting is kept down, and the business men have the assurance of the authority that a continuance of rioting will mean not only the arrests contemplated, but the calling in of the National Guard. The National Guard is in readiness for strike duty here.

The regiments are under orders to start at an hour's notice. The Forty-fifth company United States coast artillery, has been ordered to get ready to come here the minute the order Is given, and that a company of artillerymen from Governors Island may be added, but neither will be sent until the conditions become more grave than they are at present. The situation to-night is puzzling to every one. The Rapid Transit Company Is running more cars than on any day Blnee its former employes quit. Also today the cars were well patronized, and people rode with less fear.

There were 1,100 cars on all the lines, and the company kept 700 of these running until midnight. Police Give Strike Estimate." The police department, on orders from headquarters, made a careful canvass today of the city's Industrial establishments and visited employers of all classes of labor in an effort to get actual figures of the number of men on strike. Late to-day the returns from the Investigators were tabulated at headquarters and made public by Director Clay. They showed a total of 1S.407 persons throughout the city who responded to the general strike call and left their places of employment. The police did not attempt to explain the discrepancy between these figures and the declaration of the leaders of the labor movement that from 100,000 to 125,000 men were on strike.

They declared that their total was the result of an actual computation, based on the returns of a complete canvass, and spoke for itself. The labor leaders scoffed at the police figures and declared that they were something like 110,000 too low. According to the police statement, the mills, factories DIED. MAXWELL-On Monday.

HOPE FOR OHIO REFORMS. Public Utilities and Tax Revision Measures Likely to Pass Local Option Fight. SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. COLUMBUS, March 7. "The Pennsylvania Railroad Company ought to be made a party to an action by the State for the recovery of valuable land at Dayton, which it has unlawfully taken from the public lands of Ohio.

In fact, which It stole," said Senator Mooney, of the legislative public land Investigating committee. Under the pretense of securing land to build a depot on, it secured possession of a large strip through which it ran a hydraulic waterway. Across this they built a platform 4G5 feet in length and on each side of this they have constructed buildings which are connected by the platform." Speaker Mooney, of the House of Representatives, was In quite an optimistic mood when he discussed the publio util ities bill to-day. "The worst of the storm has broken now," he said "The opposition has pre sented its cas. Of course, most of the big corporations are opposed to any leg islation of th kind.

They do not say that, but attack the details of the bill, claiming that they are not opposed to the principle. "Really, the most opposition Is to the section that provides for a genuine valuation of public utilities. When a corporation gets I a franchise, it can Issue stocks and bqnds, and if It can make rates that wll) insure dividends and Interest, the difference between the actual valuation and! the market value of the stocks and bonds represents proht. ir the commission had the rignt to vaiue, and then to llhilt stock and bond issues, this speculation in franchises would be crippled." The passagei of the bill will not be pressed until after the taxation bill has been disposed of. The taxation bill and the tax limit bill will probtbly be made special orders for early this week, and the public utilities bill a 'special order for some day next week.

The Elaon telephone bill Is sure to bring a floor fight Tuesday. The Dean bill providing for local option In municipalities without reference to the remainder of the county, will come up for paaaage In the Senate Tuesday.
