hot battle between the factions. Sew

Murphy broke the glass panels Of the
door, and their opponents were disclosed.
An uproar followed, but a squad of police
kept the Murphy men under control until
9 o'clock, the hour for opening the rooms.

opportunity for the door 10 be unlocked.

a plunge which forced the door open,
rushed into the room, and became involv-
ed I'm a wild contest for positions at the
desk where the papers were TO be filed.
The men who had gained an entrance
first succeeded in holding their advan-
tageous positions until the Collins paper
had been filed.
Meanwhile, personal encounters had de-
veloped and hot fights were In progress
on all sides. Collars and ties were
wrenched of, clothing was torn, and
faces were blackened by fist blows. Jo-
sept Hankin received a blow on the head
from a blackjack, and he was dragged
out Of the crowd in an unconscious state.
Doors and windows were smashed, and
the furniture was wrecked. order was
not restored until the police succeeded
in getting all Of those who had finished
their business out Of the rooms.
