CLOSE Up SHOPS
Fines of $40 Imposed on Eight
Persons Has Quieting Effect on
Kosher Meat Boyc0tters.

Succeeding in their purpose of closing
up the kosher meat stores with the eX
ception of two or three, which are doing
a very small business in a desultorv
way. the women who have led the
strike which for two days caused riot
ing in Prince street, today contented
themselves by mildly approaching the
buyers of meat and quietly arguing
with them.
Fines of SO each imposed on eight
of those who were implicated in the
rots also served with warnings of the
police patroling the street to maintain
order The stores at 20 and 80 Prince
street were piclSeted by the women, and
the few purchasers of meat who came
out of them We're stopped, but the
police being on the spot with a warning
the women attempted no disorderly
conduct.
For a few minutes today it looked as
though there would be trouble when
Morris Yatkowsky demanded Rounds
man Seipel to arrest Michael Margolis,
of Sc Rose street, for breaking the
window of his store at 81 Prince street
last night Roundsman Seipel followed
by a large crowd, accompanied Yat-
kowsky to the barber shop of Sam
Richter 145 Howard street, where
Margolis works. Margolis said that
somebody threw water all over him
during the riot at Yatkowsky's store
and that butcher went at him with
cieaver THAT made me wild" said
Margolis, land 1 picked up a chair
and smashed the window"
Roundsman Seipel warned him of the
danger of melting riot and acting in
such manner when a crowd was ex-
cited Yatkowsky was satisfied when
he was given So to cover the damage.
While the settlement was being eff
fected the crowd outside the store be-
came impatient and had an arrest been
attempted the threatening storm would
have broken and led to further riots.
What the butchers going to do?'
was asked of Morris Yatkowsky, presi-
dent of the Kosher Butchers Associa-
ton.
I'VE do not know he replied. "all
that will be sttled at meeting which
will be held on Sunday at Windsor
Hall, Prince and Morton streets, when
we will ask delegates to attend from
all the societies and lodges to help
us talk it over.
1.-THE strike was led and started by
a lot of Socialists, who do not eat
kosher meat Many of them do not
buy meat, as they are young boys and
girls They have the people excited
and are responsible for all the trouble
Judge Herr. in the Fourth Precinct
Court, warned the party of twelve who
were arrested yesterday that if there
was any more trouble in Prince street
or over kosher meat those arrested
would be charged with ''inciting to
riot" which is a serious charge.
Neither you nor 1 have any business
to molest these butchers" he said, "and
when we do we are breaking the law. I
warn you that you were doing very
great wrong and that you must not lie,
it occur again"
Miss Stella Amada, of 6s Montgomery
street, was allowed to go on suspended
sentence. Mrs. Ida Jacobs who threw
m eat into the gutter and fought with
Plainclothesman Muller, tried to prove
that a woman who looked like her was
the disorderly one.
Where did you meet this woman ~
asked the court
The words meet and woman" were
all that the accused heard and she re-
piled:
Eyes, we were both at the meeting"
She then started an argument berating
the butchers and full of belligerent sem
timent, so she was fined $40.
Mrs Dora Wilson, 266 Camp street,
tried to slap Policeman Patterson after
being told to move on. She was fined
$40.
