GENERAL STRIKE TIES
Up ALL PHILADELPHIA
General WaIkout in Sympathy with
Street Car Men Takes Effect
at Midnight.
MILITIA Is HELD IN READINESS
Labor Leaders Assert 100000 Union
Workers Will Obey Order-Im-
partial Estimate 10000.

general strike of the unions in
sympathy with the striking street car
men went into effect in Philadelphia
at midnight the other night Stimuli
taneously it became known, despite
the denial of Gen. Clay, head of the
police force, that every national guard
regiment in the State of Pennsylvania
has received orders to be ready to
entrain for Philadelphia at an hours
notice
The labor leaders are shouting ex-
ultantly that 100000 men have lined
up with the striking motormen and
conductors. The police canvassers
make the figure less than 21,OO0 An
impartial estimate is 10000, a little
more or little less.
While the labor leaders are receiv-
ing moral support from their fellow
worllmen in all parts of the country
many associations of employers have
sent letters and kilograms to the off
Gals of the Rapid Transit Company
and the city officials commencing the
stand taken and urging them to re-
main firm in their determination not
to submit to the strikers demand for
union recognition The struggle of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany against the car mems union has
broadened into a fight between en-
ployers who insist on their right to
run open shops and labor unionism.
From now on the issue is the life or
death of labor unionism in Philadel-
phia.
All policemen, firemen and specials
who have been on duty since the strike
began received orders to remain at
their posts. The emergency automo-
biles in the city hall courtyard were
increased in number and measures TAX
en- to send a force of men to any Sec
ton of the city at moments notice
Many of these machines are driven by
their owners, wealthy men, who have
VOLUNTEERED for police duty and have
been sworn. in.
The outlook is ominous, even to the
most chereful observers. So much bit
terness has developed in the last few
days that the people of Philadelphia
are preparing for any kind of trouble.

CHICAGO.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of Chicago trade says:
'fThe advent of seasonable weather
adds a cheering tone to business.
Trading defaults have fallen in both
number and liabilities to the smallest
since April. 1907. March settlements
are seen to be remarkably heavy and
the volume of solvent payments
through the banks establishes a new
high record. Financial conditions be
come decidedly favorable and ample
accumulation of funds offers encour-
agement TO more extended enterprise in
commerce and investment.
Railroad operations rapidly return
TO the normal, while the returns indi-
cate increasing movements C finish
ed and raw products, general merchan
disc, grain and plantation needs.
Outputs of the leading industries
continue rising. and the approach of
spring work involves wider use of
miscellaneous materials and machin-
cry and hands. Permits during Feb
ruary for new business structures and
additions were seventy in number and
S2,964,600 in value. and compare with
forty-seven IN number and S95S,5o0 in
value in 1909.
Dealings in the principal wholesale
and retail branches of general mer-
chandise make a favorable comparison
with this time last year.
