concerted battle by the blacks, the out
breaks dotting an area of five to seven
miles. Every police station in the
South side was flooded with reports Of

than a score of separate outbreaks
had occurred. Whites began dragging
negroes from street cars. The negroes
reta1iated with stones and knives.
Street cars in the heart of the black
