Wilkcsbarre. Pa., March 24. After being In session nearly all of yester dav the executive council of the state I. delation of labor came to the con clusion that It would be inopportune to call a state-wide strike to aid the striking street car men in Philadel phia. This decision was reached unani mously, and it is said to have been hastened by the action of the textile workers of Philadelphia who went out on a sympathetic strike and Tues day night voted to return to work. Instead of' appealing to the trade unionists of the state to iiuit work, the council fell in with the movement started In Philadelphia Tuesday ninht to form u labor party in the state. ii-ai,iuni Creenwalt was very pos itive in his statement that the only wsv the working classes In Philadel phia and throughout the state could get justice was through the ballot box. The council decided to give the movement every encouragement. The council will meet at the call of President Oreenwalt shortly, when plans will be formulated to get the new party in working order.
