Get Excited Over High Price Of
Beef and Attack Butchers
and Police.
(Er Associa ted Prcss.)

NEW YORK, May 16.--Rioting about
the Kosher meat markets in the East Side
of this city, was continued to-day. al
though the regular police force of the
district were reinforced by five hundred
men of the reserves. The first trouble
occurred when Mrs. Jennie Pf1aN, one Of
a picket force of twenty women, was
arrested on the charge that she assaulted
A. butcher named Schlosky. When a man
went to Schlosky's establishment to buy
meat, the women. it is alleged, took the
meat from him and tore it to shreds.
Then several of the pickets entered the
shop and started to destroy the meat in it.
A policeman arrested Mrs PfaX and when
he was taking her from the shop he was
attacked by the other pickets and he had
TO summon assistance. Three other po
lcemen answered his call and Mrs. Pfax
was taken TO station house.
Many of the small butcher shops in the
East Side We're not open for business at
all to-day because of yesterdays rioting.
The trouble is the outcome of a mass
meeting held "Wednesday night at which
IL was decided to boycott the butchers,
as long as the present high prices con-
tjnue.

Suddenly 200 feet of a hog runway ex-

All were taken from the wreckage in a

.STREET-CAR MEN SAY
WILL NOT BE SPOILERS

The street-car men held a lively meeting
at Smiths Hall last night. There was
no unpleasantness, but the debates were
full of spirit 1t was all about the ap--
pointment OF ten men by the president
of their organization, Mr.. George Sim
mons. whose duty it was to watch the
other men OF the city, to see that there
was nothing irregular In their conduct
and no neglect of their work. Many of
the men were not pleased with this ar
rangement, and it was about this that
the meeting last night found its greatest
Interest and spiciness.
The men opposed to the arrangement had
this to say in the debate: THAT it was
not the lnenis business to hunt down each
other. They were employed by the COM
pany and not by each other, and II a
man overstepped his duty, or failed in
his duty in any way, he was responsible
to his employers and not to the mem
bers of his association
The meeting lasted from about $50 un-
til midnight. The members were very
quiet about the action. but 1t was under
stood that the matter would be consld-
cred still further before being finally set

HAzLETON, PA, May 16.-The antfra
cite mine workers to-day, in order to
WIN their strike, decided unanimously
upon a. plan that. if carried into success
ful operation, would practically tie up the
industries of the country, paralyze busi-
ness and inconvenience the people
throughout the United States.
Steps were taken by the convention to
involve in the strike all the bituminous
and anthracite coal miners in the United
States. According TO the rules of the
union it requires five days notice to call
a National Conventions. The three
anthracite districts will Immediately get
irto correspondence with the bituminous
districts with the hope of gaining the
consent of two of them for the issuance
of a call for a. special National Conven-
ton at which the question Of involving
all the bituminous miners in the United
States in the present struggle will be
discussed.
Other plans of campaign were discussed
by the delegates but on these the dele
gates would not talk.
MADE STATEMENT.
After the adjournment President
Mitchell issued the following statement:
AT THIS mornings session the cor
vention petitioned the National officers
to issue d call for a National Conven-
tior Of all miners employed in the United
States for the purpose of considering the
situation in the anthracite field. If the
desire of the anthracite miners is car
ricd into effect a national suspension OF
coal mining will be inaugurated. All
questions of detail as TO the direction
of the strike in the anthracite field were

STATE GETS MANY NEW HOLIDAYS;

The State officials say that the former
Law was not clear and that there la q
tradition among them that former Cover
nor O'Ferrall, when called upon to- ap-
prove the law making Saturday a half
holiday, said he would sign it. provided
it did not apply to the State officials
Willie they did not think that his wishes
81, expressed were binding, they respect,
ed them. But now Governor Montague
approves the law outright, as re-enacted,
arc it will be observed.
One effect will be that all the State Off
cials will work but three hours cn Sat
urdays, and another and still greater is
that all business of a character that re-
quires legal instruments to be drawn up
will be Illegal
