PHILA. GENERAL STRIKE
CALLED OFF TOMORROW.
Central Labor Union Meets for
Such Action Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-The
general sympathetic strike in this city
is a thing of the past. The various
unions who quit work out of sympathy
with the striking car men are prepar-
ing to resume work on Monday. A
meeting of the Central Labor Union
will be held tomorrow at which the
sympathetic strike will be formally
called off. Many union workers have
anticipated this action and have al
ready returned to work.
Leaders of the striking car men de-
clared today that the car strike will
be continued all summer unless the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
recedes from its position. The COM
pany, on the other hand, claim its car
service is improving daily, and each
day further removes the chances of all
the strikers again obtaining employ
ment with the company.
Six persons were arrested last night
following attempts to wreck trolley
cars in different parts OF the city. Dur
ing the night one man was-sho and
slightly injured. a policeman's arm
was fractured by thrown brick and
five cars were damaged.
