Buffalo, Aug PA call for police
achievements has just been sent in
from East Buffalo where the unem-
ployed POlanders have stOrmed the
market and are rifing the booths.
The police speedily restored order
and arrested ten of the ringleaders.
The immediate cause Of the distm-
5ance was an attempt by a Hebrew to
defraud a Polish woman in making
change, There has been bad blood
between the Poles and Hebrews and
it only required slight proyocatiOn
to create an open rupture In ad
dition it was stated last night that the
Poles decided to raid the market this
morning For several days they have
been threatening that if they were not
given work or bread, they would OBJ
tain the latter by violence. Meetings
have been held and much intlammat0ry
talk INDUCED in The police assert that
though the Poles are out Of work,

seashore cottage, too. When it rains
the water doesn't beat through our
