Slow Progress Made
Recovering Bodies

WELLINGTON, Wash. March 5.-All
the bodies Of the victims Of the yelling
ton disaster will not be recovered for a
month, according to q statement made
by Supt. ONeill today. The great tree
trunks that were carried down by the
snow, and entangled with the wreckage
Of the cars and other equipment make 1t
difficult to get to the bodies. Frequently
when an opening is made in the side Of a
car the snow rushes in the hole and re-
tards the work of rescue.
AS soon as the railway line is opened
to the outside world, which will be within
eight or ten days, wrecking derricks can
be sent To the scene and the trees and
other debris cleared away with greater
facility.

PHILADELPHIA. March a-Plhladel.
phia is today experiencing the most ex-

the fact that no disorder attended the
walkout
The street car service was as good az On
any day this week. According to the
company, lob cars were operated in the
early hours, with the promise OF an In

Walk Out Without Disorder.
The strike call was responded to by
many thousands Of workers. Their action
was quiet and peaceable.
The police, who had anticipated trouble
were greatly relieved to find nothing more
serious than trivial affair at one of the
trolley power houses to occupy them.
While large gaps were found in the
working forces of many OF the city's big
industrial plants when the customary
hour for beginning work arrived today,
the extent and wide distribution IF the
citys industrial life made it difficult to
determine even approximately the number
of men responding to the general strike
call. Estimates varied from the 20.U0O fig
ure of Director of Public Safety Clay to
the claim OF $4,000 made by the labor
leaders.
These last put FORTH moreover, the add

One thing seemed certain. however, az
