The first prominent result of the May-day agitation has been a formidable movement among the manufacturers, merchants, mine. owners and others employing large numbers of hands to promote the formation of a German union against strikes. The idea bad its origin in communications that passed between the merchants and manufacturers' associations here, and kindred organizations in other places, regarding the May-day demonstrations, at the time when the celebration threatened to paralyze trade. If this plan is carried a league will be formed covering Germany with a network of employers' associations. The declared aim of the scheme is united co-operation against wanton strikes, but there will be easy and inevitable transition to co-operation against the workers' claims in general.
