Slightly in a series of small riots this
afternoon in the eastern part of the
city.
Few taxicabs circulated in the
streets. which were generally more
deserted than ever before seen The
clatter of an occasional cavalry de-
tachment brought the only noise to
break the calm, but the resentment of
the idlers was visible in their changed
expressions as the patrols passed.
There was a brisk business in the
sale of small. red artificial flowers.
The manning of many omnibuses by
high school students excited some
subdued threats among the strikers,
but no violence was reported during
the forenoon.

Grafton of Labor planned to meet at
p. m. under the presidency of Leon
Jouhaux, to decide whether general
