that the policeman accepts graft to

difficulty in persuading the negro that

Kept Police on the jump.

The striking walters spent the after
noon Yesterday marching up and down
Broadway and Fifth avenue. hooting
and yelling and occasionally shying
a rock at a hotel or restaurant window.
At the Astor. McAlpin. St Regis and
Plaza the strikers were so noisy that the
police reserves were called to dispersc
them. Before noon managers OF the
larger hotels called on Headquarters
for extra police. and Commissioners
Waldo Immediately ordered 500 men
from uptown precincts to report at the
West Goth and 47th street stations for
emergency duty.
The police had their hands full when
the 5000 strikers formed in line, after
an enthusiastic mass meeting In Union
Square. and marched up Broadway and
Fifth avenue. At several cross streets
squads of police attempted TO stem
their progress but the strikers pushed
them aside and continued their march.
There was no violence. but the strikerS
