LONDON, Sept 21.-New disorders
fomented by mobs of unemployed men
broke out to-day in Newington and
Battersea, while demonstrations were
held at Camdentown and in other
places. A crowd of about eight hundred
men descended on retail army goods
store at Newington, which is operated
by two Americans, and carried off prop
erty valued at about $500.
The men stole boots, shoes, jerseys,
shirts and blankets, which had just ar
rived from Aldershot, having been pur-
chased from the government disposals
board. Tho cases of goods, stacked on
the sidewalk, where they could be
unpacked more easily, were broken
carried away. When the police reached
the scene the looters had disappeared.
Those fellows took everything within
reach" said Gilbert Serony, one OF the
prOprietors.

. AT Battersea a crowd of 1000, headed
by two men who are charged with sedi-
ton, marched on the southwestern DO
lice court. They carried red flags
which they waved until strong force
Of mounted police bore down on them.
A scuffle followed and several arrests
were made.
AS sequel to the disturbances last
night at Camdentown, where the police
used the batons to dispense a crowd

Cabinet to Consider Situation
The British Cabinet meeting at

vantage OF this opportunity to consult
with his colleagues on Ireland.
The unemployment scheme which
was adopted by the Cabinet committee
in London is understood to have been
rejected by a majority of the local
authorities and new proposal prob

Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, Sept. 21.-The Russian So
Wet government has rejected the ulti-
matum from Poland demanding that it
comply with the terms of the Riga
Treaty by October /. and break in the
relations between the governments is
imminent, according to Moscow radio
gram published in Movie Mier.
Poland, in it's ultimatum, demanded
the return Of Polish property, the re-
lease of hostages and transportation of
Polish refugees to Poland as agreed to
in the Riga treaty
A break between the two govern
mcnts will possibly be followed by more
severe consequences. Since the treaty
was signed Moscow has made numerous
charges against Poland and it is re-
garded that these were intended as an
excuse for failure to carry out the
treaty provisions.

"When I asked one of the lodging
house officials the reason, he said:
This lodging house is chiefly for the
man who votes here. We only permit
non-residents to remain here one
night"
City Hospitality Stunned
In accordance with a suggestion made
by Mr.. Brown, a reporter was sent to
the parks and along the Bowery to OBJ
tain the views of the unemployed as to
the reasons for the unpopularitv of the
Municipal Lodging House. He returned
with the information, gathered from
more than a score Of interviews, that
shelterless men prefer sleeping in the
parks, in halls and doorways or almost
anywhere else in New York than in the
Municipal Lodging House, because of
On Tuesday night another reporter,
attired in the garbs of "down-and-
OUTER" gained entrance to the lodging
house as one of it's "guests," spent the
night there and succeeded through
personal experience. in corroborating
practically all of the unfavorable re-
ports concerning the institution cur
rent among the city's homeless men.
Among the facts ascertained by this
tirst-hand investigation were:
The food served is unbelievably bad.
Inmates are so concentrated on the
sleeping floors, despite the great floor
space and bed capacity, that their
health is endangered.
Ventilation, especially for the sleep
ing quarters, is nothing short of
nightmare.
Treat En- Rough, Is Motto
Attaches of the institution treat the
guests with about as much considera-
tion as is accorded by Western cow
boy to his cattle in the midst of
roundup"
Most of the inmates are forced to
work about the lodging house for at
least two hours each morning, or for
longer period at Blackwells or Ran
dall's Island. thus depriving them of
a chance to hunt for job at the best
time of day to seek one.
No one who is not New Yorker
sleep in the institution more than one
night, but the New York "guest" may
enjoy all the "house privileges" at
least five nights each month. How
many are thus permanent or semi
permanent residents is. question.
A vast majority Of the inmates OBJ
served were Of the types to be found
only in the lowest dregs Of the un-
employed, types vastly different from
many of the men now to be found sit
ting about the parks.
