The fact that no further consultation

With estimates of the number of men

bility of placing under arrest the mem

1t is absolutely impossible to deter
mine definitely the number of men

pathetic strike. The labor leaders
claim that 125.000 men are out, and
that by nightfall. 100000 men will have
quit work. City officials scoff the
claim declaring only 10000 men have
obeyed the call to join the 5000 street
car men. Director of Public Safety
Clay, after a police canvass, fixes the
number Of $4,000
A thorough and complete canvass of
the plants of the city by absolutely
disinterested parties places the num-
Der between $4,000 and $4,000. II is
safe to say those figures are as nearly
correct as it is possible to secure them
