PHILADELPHIA
STRIKE is WEAK
POLICE SAY THAT LESS THAN
TWENTY THOUSAND HAVE
GENE OUT.
MORE CARS RUNNING
MAYOR is REAssuREp AND CAN
GELS ORDER FOR FED
ERAL TROOPS.

Philadelphia.-If the computation of
the Philadelphia police department is
correct-and the officials declare 1t to
be based on careful and complete
canvass of the city-less than 10000
workers have responded to the call
for general tie-up of the city's indus
tries.
Monday night Director of Public
Safety Clay issued the first detailed
statement purporting to show the ex-
tent to which the sympathetic strike
in support of the striking conductors
and motormen Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company has affected
the industrial life of the city.
It came at the close of the first full
working day under the general strike
order which became effective last Fri
day at midnight
The day was the quietest since the
calling of the general strike. At night
up to late hour there was absolute
quiet. according to the police reports.
in all parts of the city. with every in
dication that the night would pass
without serious outbreaks.
Mayor Reyburn late Monday said
that the sympathetic strike was over
so far as the city administration was
concerned, adding that the aftermath
could safely be left to the police to
handle. The word that the order for
federal troops had been cancelled, in
dicated that the authorities believed
the worst of the trouble was over.
The transit conditions to every ap-
pearance showed continued improve
ment during the day and evening.
There was less necessity for the pres
ence of the police on the cars, and
even timid people are beginning to
show disposition to ride.
The police made a careful canvas
of the city's industries to ascertain
the number of men on strike. The re-
TURNS tabulated by Director Clay
showed that 1s.4O7 persons had re-
sponded to the general strike call.
The police did not attempt to ex-
figures and those of labor leaders.
which say 100000 or 125.O00 men were
on strike.
The labor leaders scoffed at the po-
lice figures.
According to the police, establish
ment affected by the sympathetic
strike employ 54.954 hands.
There are 121.239 employees in other
establishments not affected by the
strike and this gives. by the police fig
ures. total of 176.193 employees. of
which only iS,407 are out.
Many have quit work. 1t is declared.
not from sympathy with the striking
carmen, but because they have been
forced out by the action of certain
branches of their trades.
