Philadelphia, Pa., March 7." Fed
eral troops at Fort Dupont, Del.,
and Governors Island, N, Y., are
ready to start for Philadelphia at a
moment's notice to quell rioting and
protect .government . property.'-,. Thin
is the critical day of tiie general
strike. Labor leaders declared this
morning that. J 15,000 workers had
gone- out and that the ranks were
in creasing hourly.
Otuer cities are menaced by the
general sympathetic strike; Camden
aud Newark, N. J., face the plight of
Philadelphia, the labor leaders there
being ready to take similar action.
On this, the third day of the gener
al strike, the labor leaders, defying
the authorities, planned public meet
ings following the 100 of yesterday
and began the formation of a com
pact Labor party throughout the
city. The workers demand the im
peachment of Mayor John E. . Key
burn. With five injured one of them a
woman, shot with a babe in her
arms, in last night's disorders, the
situation was made more critical to
day by the excitement caused by the
news that the arrest of the labor
leaders had been decided upon by
Director of Public Safety Clay in
conference with some of the city's
foremost attorneys.
The woriers declared that they
would extend their efforts to organ
ize the entire labor class of the city
into Unions as well as a political par
ty. This work was begun in the mill
district of Kensington, where thous
ands of pickets took up propaganda
work.
All .night, long an engine, with
steam up, lay at Fort Dupont, Dela

delphia the Forty-fifth Company of
the I'nitcd States coast military, com-,
prosing 10!) men with two darling
guns. The government bad also or
dered two companies of Ihe Twenty
liinth Infantry at (ioveinois Island,
the headquarters of 'the -department
the east, under command of Major
Ucneral Leonard Wood, in readiness.
In spite of the ban put 'on meet
ings by the police, it is declared flatly
that various organizations "have also
been notified to hold mass meetings

AVALANCHE TRAPS
200 RESCUERS
(By Leased Wire to The Times. )
Winnipeg, Mart., March 7. Two
hundred rescuers, 'physicians and
nurses have been buried under an
avalanche at. Grenoble, according to
report received here today. They
were on their way to Kevelstoko,- ii.
C, when trapped by a new avalanche.
The first advices received here de
lured that there was no loss of the
life in the Grenoble disaster but that
all traffic is slopped and efforts to
succor the victims of other similar
disasters are futile,
The country about Grenoble -is. in
the grip of a record-breaking blizzard
ind it is feared that the heavy snow
fall will not only hem in the ma
rooned 200 for sometime, but. in-
rease the already grave danger of
further snow slides over a wide area.
Meagre reports from lingers Pass
where two snow plow crews wcro
trapped by the fiovelstoke 'avalanche,
indicate today that the dead there
number at least fifty and probably
more.
the missing today numbered 02,
md no hope for the recovery of any
of them alive was entertained.
As fresh reports come in, it be
came ..apparent' mat. me -disaster .. is
the equal of the worst that has oc
curred in this region lor many years.
The plows were caught while try
ing Id clear the Hacks alter a first
slide. The. iirst avalanche, composed
for the most part 14 f snow,- buried the
tracks to a depth of thirty feet, and
at some places fifty. Rain and sleet
came down, loosening more snow and
when a large part of tho first slide
had been cleared away, the second
came, booming and tumbling uowu
the mountain with terrific force.
