here Sunday a great horde OF men,
women and children gathered az the
relief depot in Delaney street. Anger
ed at finding the coalyard closed, they
started to force the doors.
That the outbreak was no. more ser
sous was due to the good judgment o.
Joseph Cohen. proprietor OF the yard.
and the action oil policemen from the
Eidredge Street Station
Cohen GAINED the excited mob by
promising that each should get at
least one pail OF coal. The policemen,
instead OF clubbing. as at the Rabbi
Joseph funeral. pleaded with the peo-
pie Tor order. and peace was restored.
For about 10 minutes. however. it
looked rs il there would be a serious
outbreak.
No. 50 Delaney street is one OF the
yards selected by the coal operators
from which TO sell TO the poor at the
rate OF IS cents pail Tcnements
abound on every side. with 20 families.
or about 4 hundred persons, 10 each
house.
The outbreak was in the morning.
Several women in search OF coal had
wandered from one street to another
pleading for pail OF coal for IS cents,
but none was to be had at that price,
as the regular price was IS cents.
