 Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-The waving of the red flag of ana chy during the forma- ton of a Labor Day parade of Italians today led to a wild scene and the arrest of two men, who attempted to incite a mob to riot. The police were informed yesterday that an organizations of Ital- ian socialists was preparing for a cele- bration today, and that they had hoated a red flag from the window of the meet ing place. The police notified the asso- citation that the display of the flag was a violation of the law, and that it would have to be taken down. The officer of the association, with some reluctance, removed the emblem, but when the pa rade was formed today Wits Calvo, one of the Italians, carried a red flag at the head of the line and frantically waved it amid the cheers of the throng of 1000 persons. The flag bearer was arrested and the police were forced to struggle with their prisoner through the surging mob and to use their clubs freely.
 After Calvo'S arrest another Italian, Angelo Picozzi, who is said to be the president of the association, pulled red flag from his pocket and waved it in the face of the police.
 His action pleased the crowd, and cheers for the flag and for anarchy rent the air, followed by hooting of the po- lice.
 PicozM was soon surrounded by police men and the flag was torn from his hands. He was dragged to the police station, followed by a bowling mob. It was found that both flags waved today were pieces of the flag that was last evening floated from the windows of the associations headquarters The pris- oners were arraigned before Magistrate Jermon and were held in $500 bail each for further hearing tomorrow.
