The most serious trouble occurred at
$50 o'clock in Union Square. where the

was principally occasioned by the over

when some OF the crowd began to quar-

their clubs and charged the crowd.
In the melee several persons received
minor injuries and women with babies
in their arms were knocked down and
trampled upon. The press OF the crowd
against the stout iron railing at the north
east end Of the park was so great that
the rail gave way, and a score Of per

by the police 10 desist, but paid no heed
The Socialists in the wagon then called
