were anxious to. join in the strike.
Philadelphia will thus not be depriv

More than the tie-up of business,
the authorities fear the thronging of
the thousands of idle people on the
streets and the disorder that almost
inevitably ensues. Since the trolley

Sundays and Saturday afternoon.
The greatest trouble Saturday was
experienced by the police at Indepen
dence square, the very centre of the
city, where despite the announce
ment by Mayor Reyburn that no dem--onstration
could be held on that
historic ground, a crowd estimated
at 25,000" persons gathered to par
ticipate in or watch the demonstra
tions of organized labor; ,
Policemen, mounted and afoot,
were there by the score1 with strict
orders to keep the crowd moving.
This was accomplished v and it is
due to the patience, carefulness and
steadiness of the police that no se
rious outbreak occurred.

leaders says : " Let the Philadelphia
