Daley in Seattle, and the blue meanies of the Chicago police -- who happily walloped passers-by in their pursuit of demonstrators -- have been supplanted here by a force that hasn't walloped even violent demonstrators for fear of offending the peaceful ones.

The logic behind this was that if an entrepreneur had such disregard for his laborers, perhaps a strike would help to wake him up. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was an impeccable example of th...
