ATTRACTIVE PICKET.—Crowds in the bustling Strand, writes our London correspondent, were immensely intrigued by the Savoy Hotel’s staff strike, which immediately spread next door to Simpson’s, the famous restaurant, which is under the same management. Passers-by on foot and in cars and buses saw an unusual display of blue police uniforms about, and a procession of exceptionally sleek-looking strike pickets parading up, and down with placards advertising their grievances. Several women were among the pickets, including Madame Kaufmann, the noticeably attractive wife of one of the Savoy chefs.
