TENANTS START RIOT
NEW YORK POLICE MAKE LIB.
ERAL USE OF CLUBS.
Landlords Object to Floating of Amer
lean and Socialist Flags o Their
Property, and Tenants Defend When
Attempt Is Made to Remove Them

Incfpient rent riots broke out on the
East side in New York Sunday as a re-
suit OF h tension between the land
lords and striking tenants. and before
the disorders were quelled by the po-
lice reserves, which were called from
several precincts, many combatants
were injured and five were arrested
The police used their clubs freely,
but thehe was no way to obtain the
number injured, as they hurried away
and were cared for by friends. M
disorders were general throughout the
affected district.
The most serious trouble occurred
on East Eleventh street. where a
landlord who had been unable to col
lect rent ordered his tenants to re-
move the American and socialistic
fiags, with which the strikers had dec
GRATED the tenement. h landlord
was hooted and jeered by the tenants
and other strikers. who were holding a
mass meeting In the house. and he
called the police.
The striking tenants resented the
appearance OF the officers, and in the
clash which followed the reserves used
their night stricks vigorously. Five
were arrested. The offending decora-
TONS were removed.
Hardly had order been restored at
this point when the police reserves
were hurried to East Twelfth street,
where striking tenants were making a
demonstration against a landlord who
had objected.to the flying Of red flags
oyer his property. The crowd failed
to obey the police order to dispense
and was set upon with night sticks.
Ono woman, 1t II reported. was rem
dered insensible during the fight, IN
which Wives and daughters, as we'll as
fathers and sons. participated. THE
police tried to gain entrance n the
tenement. but the strikers b~arricaded
the door, and q semblance Of order
having been restored, the officers
Withdrew. Ambulances were sum
moned to care for the injured, but the
strikers declined to admit the physi-
clans, saying that they would call their
own doctors.
