Coal Famine Causes Riot,

BOSTON, Dec. l.-Hundreds of res
idents of the North End besieged the
entrances to the yard of the Metropoli-
tan Coal company on Causeway street,
and at one time there was small
sized riot.
When the Offices and yard were
opened crowd was gathered in front
of the building, and as soon as the
company's men began to arrive these
people commenced the liveliest kind of
scramble to get inside. So much
trouble was caused by them in their
fight for chance to get through the
gates that the Metropolitan employees
decided to haul wagon load of coal
in bags out of the yard and distribute
from the opposite side of the street in
order to draw a part of the crowd
away. A large wagon was immedi.
ately filled and driven outside. Hard.
ly had the driver pulled up his horses
before the crowd was upon his wagon.
Men and women pulled one another
and fought for a chance to get at the
coal.
The patrolmen who were on duty at
the yard were called upon, and it was
only with the greatest difficulty and by
using force that they were able to keep
the bags from being stolen. One pa
trolman jumped on the wagon to save
the coal and was thrown down and
pulled about by the women. The
trouble was checked by the arrival of
other patrolmen, and it kept them
busy holding down the bags until the
wagon was again inside the gates.
