tic effort TO avoid the hoofs The mounted
men swung their clubs. hammcring every
head that came near.
POLICE JAM EN- rP TOGETHER
They were making handsome fight Of
II when the street clogged once more.
Probably 900 strike followers were being
driven rapidly in front of the fifty men
that Waldo had ordered into the district
The new mob jammed into the old and
fairly swamped the mounted men. Toughs
who were being dubbed couldn { get away
because Of the press against them They
did the next hes, thing, dropping hat in
the street at the risk Of being stepped on
by the police horses That tansle lasted
for three or -four minutes-a huriyOurly
of showing. crowdinG. yelling men and
boys On the roofs the women were ready
TO throw bricks but they didn't dare let
go for fear Of abolishing a kinsman or
friend.
CHARGE OF THE FOOT BRIGADE.
The fifty foot cops swept into the street
slowly, advancing with machinehke pre-
oision. Their clubs rose and fell. rose and
fell, and every time a club landed man
went down or burst yelling 10 the shelter
Of house or fought his way desperately
10 the comparative safety Of the sidewalk
Sohmittberger, out of his car by this time,
was fighting at the head Of his army, the
gay hat perched a little on one side Of
his head to conceal the bandige put on
by the handy Reidell-" A daisy cop, that s
what he is, a daisy" said the chief in
spector as he described later in the day
the battle Of West Fifty-second street.
There wasn't much To- II after that if
YOU don I count bruised heads and numbed
arms The police squad drove straight
through the street. clubbing every man
who moved too slowly or who turned on
his heel TO curse The cops didn't aim
for heads as much as they tried for fore
arms and legs They let 60 with straight
smashes that left limbs quite incapable
Of action for some time afterward.
They dubbed heads when the owners
of those heads resist ed the move on order.
From Fitty-seCond street the squad spit
and went up and down Eleventh avenue
sweeping the street clean. twenty men
back traIled through Fifty-seCond street
thumped the leftovers and repeated he
Eleventh avenue JOB III lenth avenue
Half an hour after the chief inspector got
hurt that part of San Juan Hi spoke
softly and mad no use for bricks.
NEVER MIND ARRFsrING THEM.
The police didn't bother TO estimate
casualties or take man, prisoners Fifty
of the mob were injured enough 10 require
treatrneut at home or al the drug stores
Toward evening one met in tha nelchDor-
hood a good many men and boys who
showad 6andapad heads or who walked
with a linn Three prisoners were ma 6bei
