WOMEN CRUSHED IN
new YORK RIOTS
Thousands Storm the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel.
ATTEMPT TO SEE GOVERNOR
Police Unable to Check Mob and Many
Are lnjured-Several Arrests
Made After Property Is
Destroyed.

New York, Feb. 26-Women of the
lower East side and other Jewish dis
tricts gathered in Madison square tC
protest against the high cost of living
Hundreds brought with them their
children, some OF them in arms, some
of them in carriages. A minority OF
men also came, and at the height OF
the demonstration perhaps $500 were
listening eagerly TO speeches that
were being delivered simultaneously
from six stands.
Three hours Of speech-making reused
the crowd TO an unexpected mood. 1t
found its manifestation when Mrs.
Bella Neuman alderman, one of those
in charge of the meeting, cried:
How many of you Will go there and
march about that palace of eats-the
WaldOrf-Astoria where Governor
Whitman is stopping, and show him
that you are hungry? You need no
leaders. Let your empty stomachs be
your leaders,"
Five thousand of u.s." cried the
crowd, and before anyone was quite
aware of what was happening the de-
scent upon the Waldorf was under
way.
Two Women Crushed.
Scouts who arrived in advance of the
main body gave the hotel people an
mixing Of what was coming and calls
for protection went at once to the West
Thritieth police station.
Sixty policemen were no match for
the women. 1t took them three-quar-
tiers of an hour TO quell the disturb.
ance and when that had been accom-
plished two women had been trampled
into Inconsistencies, four arrests had
been made, and the big hotel had been
in state Of actual siege for nearly
an hour.
Police Attacked by Women.
There was no attempt at organization
as the mob moved up Fifth avenue.
Children struggled to keep pace with
their mothers
The first attack was on the Thirty
fourth street doors of the hotel. The
women in the front ranks found their
way barred and took to beating on the
glass panels.
"We want to see the, governor, cried
one of them to the men she could see
standing inside.
"Our babies are starving" echoed
those on the sidewalk.
AT the end of half an hour Inspector
Bolan and Capt. William Bailey agreed
that argument and pushing with the
hands would never get the situation
under control. They began then to
force the crowd back from the doors.
The women shriekcd protests and when
Policeman Jordan began TO tug at Isa-
bella Sorkin, nineteen years old, Il real
issue was drawn.
Jordan was swept off his feet Us
though he had been d child. As he went
down Miss Sorkin struck him in the
mouth and before he could regain his,
feet 20 women had slapped or kicked
him or torn ut his clothing. But when
assistance came Jordan had Miss Sor-
kin as the first prisoner of the after
noon. She was locked up on a charge
of assault.
In the same melee Mrs. Lena Cher
mack was taken.
Rioting was resumed simultaneously
in five different parts of the Bronx at
night. Stands in several markets were
overturned. Reserves were called out
and made several arrests. The rioters
said they were members of the Anti
High Cost Of Living League"
