FIGURES VARY WIDELY

Union Leaders Claim Over One Hun.
dred Thousand Men Are Out, but
City Officials Say the Number Is Not
Above Fifty MISUNDERSTANDING
Trades and Textile Workers the
Most Largely Affected.
Philadelphia, March 8.-The so
called general strike in this city,
called to aid the striking street car
employees, is far from complete and
the employers and city authorities de.
clare it will be failure. The labor
leaders are confident, however, of the
success of the movement and they pre-.
dict that returns will slow that be.
tween 100000 and 10000 men are
out The police say there are not 5O,.
600 unionized workmep in Philadel.
phia.
While the central and many other
sections of the city do not appear to
be seriously affected by the general or.
der to quit work in the mill district
of Kensington, where trade unionism
is we'll entrenched, many Industries
have suspended operations. It looked
like a general holiday in that great
manufacturing center.
Special dispensations to the union
drivers of milk and bread wagons en-.
abled all householders to receive their
usual quantity of these necessities,
but the fruit and produce dealers are
handicapped by the joining of 500 OF
their drivers in the general walkout.
According to the figures of the union
leaders more than 1000 drivers have
ceased work.
Building Operations Affected.
The most largely affected trades out,
side of textile workers in Kensington,
Paramount, Falls of Schuylkill, Mana.
yunk and Port Richmond, who claim
10000 men out, are the members OF
the various building trades, the lead.
ers of which claim to have almost an
equal number of strikers in their
ranks
In addition to these two large
branches of organized labor leaders in
the movement claim there are 10000
men in the miscellaneous unions on
strike, together with many nonunion
workers, who have quit work from
sympathy with the strikers or Difficult.
ty in securing adequate transportation.
Several business organizations met
to consider plans to continue the ef-
forts being made to end the strike.
The transit company has turned a
deaf ear to any proposition for arbi-
tration, but it is hoped by the bust.
ness men that they will be able to de.
wise some plan for peace that will be
satisfactory to both sides.
The police department has 5000
men on duty. The majority of the
negro policemen, who were engaged
specially for the strike, have, how.
ever, been relieved. This was done
so as not to add race riots to the trou.
bles of the police.
All the large Industrial plants in
Philadelphia classed as "open shop"
concerns are in operation, none being
seriously affected by the quitting of
union men. The largest concern to
shut down was the Standard Roller
Bearing company, 100 of whose men
are idle.
