we Are Fighting For Bread" In
scribed On Their Banner-Assault
On the yellow Men.

New York, Jan. 14.-Several hundred
laundrymen are on a strike in this city.
Jacob Ritterman. proprietor of a
Walker street laundry, hired 20 China
men to work in his shop. The strikers
sent committee to protest to Tom Lee,
the mayor of Chinatown" and also
sent a number of girl strikers to ask
the unfair" Cinnamon to stop work,
but all in vain. The strikers having
obtained a permit from the chief of
police, had a parade. More than 1000
men, women and girls marched in the
parade. There was a band of ten
pieces. Among the banners carried by
the strikers was red shirt, six feet
long and four feet wide, bearing the
words, We are fighting for bread"
As the Cinnamon left Bittermans
shop last night about so men,, friends
of the discharged ironers, lay in wait
for them in doorways nearby. The Chi
namen were taken unawares and they
received severe punishment, being
dubbed and knocked about promis-
cuously. Most of them were cut about
the head and had their eyes black
ened. The police finally rescued the
Cinnamon and arrested two of their as
sailants.
