Business Frustrated.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 5.-With
an indeterminate number of men,
variously estimated at from $4,000
to 125,000 on strike today Philadel-
phia faces the most serious labor
war in the history of America. 1t
is estimated that business concerns
will lose between two and three mil
lion dollars daily as long as the gen
eral strike remains on.
Business was not paralyzed today
to the extent prophesied by labor
leaders, but the general unrest
throughout the trades indicated that
complete prostration is impending.
Although there have been no di-
rect efforts to settle the difficulties,
each side already proclaims a vic
tory.
The Union men see success in the
general walk-out while the employ
ers point to the fact that fewer un-
ion men are out than the leaders
predicted.
