CITY QUIET DURING
THE MORNING HOURS

BY United Press LEASED Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5-With an
indeterminate number of men. various
" estimated from 10000 to 125,000 out
Of work in obedience to a call for a
general strike in sympathy for the
striking street car men. the City Of
Brotherly Love to-day faces one of the
most serious labor wars ever waged in
an American commonwealth.
Each side is loud in proclaiming VIC
tory, though victory has yet perched
on no ones shoulders. No tangible
efforts have been made to settle the
dispute. 1t is to be a battle royal,
a battle to the death.
An effort will be made in Independ-
ence Square, in the shadow Of the home
Of American liberty to show this after
noon at o'clock the strength of organ
ized labor in Philadelphia. Mayor
Reyburn has declared the riot act in
force and ordered the police to break
iup the proposed meeting by force if
necessary. Despite this order the strike
leaders have refused to call off the

meeting. It is admitted that trouble
is feared If they persist in their ef-
forts to gather there.
At this meeting. If it is allowed TO
take place. an invitation will be ex-
tended to every worlIingman in Phila-
delphia to enroll himself in the cause
of unionism. The gauntlet has been
flung into the lists and labor leaders
are seeking to recruit their forces to
the utmost before the battle follows the
initial skirmish.
Union leaders declare they have as
many as 125,OOO men idle as a result Of
the general strike order City authori-
ties and police officials concede that
10000 men have ceased work. Con-
servative estimates place the number
out at noon to-day at $4,000 and de-
clared this was a very liberal estimate.
Other outside sources fix the number at
10000. To secure an exact estimate
is impossible at this time.
There are 400 locals of trades unions
in Philadelphia, $50 OF which are not
affiliated with the Central Labor Union
which called the general strike. Each
union has an individual secretary and
these 400 secretaries are the only men
who have accurate figures. They have
not all reported to labor headuarters.
As yet business has not been
paralyzed to the extent promised by the
labor leaders. though 1t is admitted
that Philadelphia business men will
lose between s2,OOO,OOO and SS.0OO,OOO
every day the general strike con-
tinues.
One Disturbance Reported.
Only one disturbance was reported VI
to noon. Six negro policemen were
stoned in front of the car barns al
Thirty-sixth and Market streets. They
relieved six white officers, who had had

no trouble. A riot call was sounded
and the mob fed. No arrests were
made and no shots fired.
Trouble is feared this afternoon and
tonight, especially in Kensington and
in the suburbs where union labor is
strongest. Strong details Of heavily
armed policemen are on guard there.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany to-day reports that il has I'm
operation 9S6 cars and that II will run
them until one o'clock Sunday morn
ing No car has been attacked to-
day but attacks are expected tonight.
Mayor Reyburn to-day declared the
labor unions made grave mistake
In calling the general strike. He does
not think they can win and declares
he has issued orders that disorder shall
be quelled with an iron hand. The riot
act is to be enforced. so that practical
~ martial law without it's usual
severity exists. Saloons are still open,
but may be closed tonight, if the
situation grows serious.
Hope Says 10000 Men Are Out.
Secretary Charles A. Hope. of the
Central Labor Union, declares he has
figures which show 10000 men are out
and that he is confident complete re-
turns will show 125,000 out. OF the
10000 out he says $1,000 are unionists
and 5000 unorganized laborers. He
says that 100 unions ahillated with the
Central Labor Union and many inde-
pendent unions have gone out. The
labor leaders are preparing to pay
strike benefits, though they do not be-
gin for two weeks after the calling
out Of a strike. It will require 500 00C
weekly to pay strike benefits

Efficient Officers Needed.

Dealing with the regular army organ
ization, the Secretary urges the adoption
of provision Of law similar to that gov
erning the navy for the elimination of in
efficient officers. There is pressing need
for efficient officers to replace those de-
tailed from their regiments on very nee
essary staff and miscellaneous duty, and
the Secretary makes a strong plea for
the passage of the pending bill providing
for the addition of 612 officers of various
grades
The Secretary refers to his recent trip
to the Philippines, and declares that the
result of the first years application of
the new tariff more than justified the pre-
diction that the decrease Of customs reve-
nue. would not be great and would be sat
isfactorily met by an increase of internal
revenue.
The report concludes with a strong rec
ommendation. based upon personal OBJ
servation and the reports of the chiefs
of all the bureaus in the War Depart
ment, that some provision be made for
the retirement on annuities Of employees
who have become superannuated in the
service. thus following the practice which
many railroads and other large business
enterprises have found it advisable to
adopt. -' -

average of about 30 day. Fresh eggs

temperature and weight were taken; a
hot dinner at midday and more fresh eggs
and milk were given them before their
departure. together with car fare to and
from the camp. This it is declared, was
in addition to the medical treatment.
1t is for the purpose of charging the
scope of this work and continuing it, say
the lady managers, that the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals is now being
pushed with such vigor. They want to
enlarge the camp. and funds are needed
for the purpose. "a cent for every seal
and a seal on everything sent" they say.

In addition to the stations heretofore
established for the sale of the seals, there
have been added the following: James
