(Australian &, X.Z. Cable Association.)

POLICE PRECAUTIONS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.

In many cities throughout the country, protest meetings were held late to-day, with only minor disturbances. About a hundred picket leaders were arrested. Sporadic..strikes are reported to be widespread, but accounts ot the actual number of men out throughout the nation are conflicting. Socialists and I.W.W. claim a million, while the police authorities say less than a tenth of that number.

\ arious Saceo-Vanzetti committees have issued invitations to all Liberals and Radicals to come to Boston wearing mourning hands, to attend so-cai’led death watch at the execution. Boston itself is the scene of extraordinary precautions against disturbances. The gaol where the execution is to occur will not be approachable for a mile, police, national guardsmen and Federal troops are marshalled for any emergency.
