The entire North used to vote Republican solidly, Philly didn't have a Democratic mayor until the early 50s, and since then it hasn't had a single Republican. The rest of the urban Northeast is basically the same, except for NYC's recent conversion.
The Republicans then weren't the Republicans now.
They probably were a little friendlier to labor then.
For instance, in 1960 somewhere beneath the Mason-Dixon I could have pretty safely said "find me a pro-integration Democrat around here".
But that was a long time ago.
