thousand whites raided the mills where
the blacks were working, battered
down the doors of the lodging houses
sheltering foreigners, dragged the in

and ordering them to quit the city.
The police were helpless. Several
Hindus were pulled from the water,
where they had sought refuge, and
from under the docks on the tide flats.
Some, bruised and bleeding, were sent
to the hospital. The police induced
! the mob to let the undesirable be
taken to jail, and the idea was hailed
with delight by the mob. This stra-
tegic move probably saved worse

the refugees in the city building
Racial feeling had a small part in
the affair, the labor question being
predominant. The Hindus were bold
