A DOZEN FIGHTS
Grew Out of the Strike Situa-
tiOn in New York.

New York. May 19.-Clashes between
police and striking Italians took place at
several points along the line of the sub
way today. The blue coats on duty
along the trench and the reserves at the
station houses were called upon to sup
press a dozen fights caused by the at
tempts of the strikers to intimidate
their countrymen who tried to return to
work.
The strikers were out as usual at
daybreak in squads of five to pick up
workmen as they left their homes. When
the men got past them they found an
other set of pickets awaiting them in
the side streets just off the subway.
The second line of pickets when they
could not make the men back. set upon
them. They confined their efforts strict
" to workmen of their own nationality.
At Seventy-second street and Colum-
bus avenue, a young Italian was set
upon by a crowd of strikers. Merchants,
messenger boys and laborers passing
went to the lads assistance and gen
eral melee was in progress when the po-
lice arrived. Three prisoners were made.
About 1000 men, or 50 per cent of the
required number are now on work on
the subway.
