A conference at Washington ot the leading capitalists and manufacturers has initiated a National Labour Alliance to curb the political activity of the American Federation of Labour, and its interference with industry. A million dollars have already been subscribed.
At the moment of the strike in Philadelphia the orchestras in the hotels and cafes ceased playing. Cab and taxi-cab drivers abandoned their vehicles. The wealthy drove their own motors.
The police force has been doubled, and every fireman is at his post. The authorities prevented an open air
meeting. Many large works are'still not seriously affected. Some tramway cars are running, guarded by police.
