May Day Riots Throughout Nation
?ng fto one to venture below Twenty
eighth Street or above Twenty-fourth.
Later the lines were extended north to
Thirty-second and south to Twenty
third Street.
Besides the uniformed police, there
were men in plain clothes from all of
the five boroughs. In addition. 260
members of the Provost Guard ap?
peared, commanded by Captain Mills ,
and Lieutenants Gannon, Dawkins and
Pancoast.
On the outskirts of the area cut off ?
by the guards, soldiers and sailors ;
milled about, formed in flying wedges
and tried to break through the line or'
rallied in small groups while some one I
of their number spoke. Several men
had brought bugles with them and
time and again the assembly call rang!
out through the darkness as the men
gathered for a new assault on the
lines.
Three hundred sailors, headed by a
man carrying an American ag, drove j
through the police lines at Twenty
fourth Street and Lexington Avenue
.-Mid surged up to the entrance to the
Carden.
Guards Check Fighters
llore they were checked by a line of
provost guards, nightsticks and side
arms ready, under the command of
Lieutenant Gannon.
"Boys," said the lieutenant, "this
Won't do. I sympathize with your pa?
triotism, but it's a noor way to
show it.''
Some one in the crowd attempted to
argue the matter, and Cannon's voice
hardened.
"Now, I've told you to get out," he
warned. "Cet, and get quick or there'll
be moro trouble than you want."
Tho mob sea' -ercd, many of them
drifting over to the building of the
S. P. C. A., where they lingered for
>omc time.
A man and two women came out of
'.he Garden and started south along
Lexington Avenue. One of the women
wore a rod tie, and, catching sight of
this, a half dozen bluejackets charged
her. They overwhelmed lier escort and
tried to tear the tie from her neck.
Bugles Call Assembly
The woman screamed and fought
back. When the provost guard charged
the struggling group her coat and
waist were in tatters and she was
badly scratched and bruised. She was
taken to tho subway station, sobbing
hysterically.
Meanwhile the bugles were calling
"Assembly'' again, from in front of the
Hotel Prince George, where 500 sol?
diers and sailors were rallying around
an American flag held aloft by Eddie
Gillespie, former private of Company
L, 114th Infantry, who wears three
medals for heroism in France.
Three times Inspector Daly ordered
tho men to disperse and then, seeing
that the mob was growing bigger and!
uglier each moment, ordered the i
mounted police to charge. A platoon '?
swept down the street with shouts and :
a roar of hoofs. The crowd scattered i
at their impact.
Gillespie was overwhelmed and
knocked senseless by a blow from one j
of the riders' nightsticks. He was
carried into the Prince George Hotel,
still clutching the trampled and stained
colors, where he was revived.
Four Revolver Shots Fired
While the battle between the
mounted police and the mob was still
in progress a rnun, presumably the
night watchman in the Pacific Bank,
Twenty-eighth Street and Madison
Avenue, rushed into the street and j
?ired four shots from his revolver into |
the air. A mounted policeman
?wooped down on him and placed him
under arrest. He could not be found

the Garden later in the evening.
The use of nightsticks by the polici
did not serve to pacify the mob o:
service men. Again and again bugle:
sounded calling soldiers and sailor:
together for fresh assaults on the line
Patrolmen were greeted with groan:
and the chanted query:
"Who won the war?" to which th<
mob bellowed in reply:
"The New York police, the dirt;
cowards!"
Loan Sneered At
A group of sailors and soldiers 01
Broadway had obtained possession o
several copies of a periodical style?
"Freedom," published by the Freedon
Publishing Company, of 1".:5 East Fif
teenth Street, and containing an edi
torial sneering at the Victory Loan.
This they presented at the .Libertj
Loan headquarters. H9d Broadway
with the demand that the meeting a'
the Garden be stopped. They wer?
referred to the police and a crowd o!
them started east on Twenty-eight!
Street. The mounted police charg?e
into them.
In the fight that followed fists wert
used freely and nightsticks rose an?
fell. When the street had finally beer
cleared a half-dozen ifcen, bruised am
bleeding, were limping into nearby
buildings. One layv at the corner ol
Twenty-eighth Street and Broadway
and did not move.
lie was rescued by Charles Lamb, a
veteran of the war, who is now work?
ing in the Liberty Loan headquarters
at 1198 Broadway. Lamb almost came
to blows with two patrolmen who in?
sisted that they would take the man
to a hospital. He was reinforced by
several soldiers and the police retired
Soldier May Die
When taken into the Liberty Loan
headquarters the man could not be re?
vived, and he was hurried to the
Greenhut Base Hospital. It is believed
that his skull has been fractured
Papers in his clothing indicated that
he' was Benjamin Dustman, a casual
from the 42d Infantry.
Others injureel in the charge of the
police were Earl Lambrey, a sailor
who was cut on the head; Charle;
Gallaway, a marine who fought a1
Ch?teau Thierry and left one leg there
who was badly beaten, and Barne>
Dreyfus?, of the Gordon Highlander;
of the British army, who was tramplet
on by a horse.
At other points in the police cordor
men who attempted to break through
were beaten. It wan charged by some
soldiers and sailors that they had beer
attacked by policemen without anj
cause whatever. Several civilians, ii
was said, had also been beaten.
Rough Treatment Charged
Charles Price, H. M. Schwab and
Morris Steele. all sailors, who hac
cuts and bruises about their faces and
heads, asserted that they had been at?
tacked and beaten by patrolmen with?
out provocation. Price was taken tc
Bellevue Hospital, where two stitches
ivero sewed in his scalp.
A providential downpour that fell
at 10:i'>0 o'clock when the crowd was
leaving the Garden, prevented whal
might have been serious trouble. Most
of the mob fled to cover and the radi?
cals were herded to subway and sur?
face lines by the policemen. Those
who attempted to linger about the
Garden until the rain abated were
pushed out into the storm by the po?
lice and told to go home.
When asked late last night about the
rough treatment handed soldiers and
sailors by tho police, Chief Inspector
Daly said:
"I've heard of no soldiers or sailors
being beaten."
When told that one man at least was
in a serious condition from a night
stick blow, he said:
"Maybe ho was one of those who
threw bottles at the police."
Several soldiers and sailors who pro?
tested to the mounted police against
their rough methods were told that
Inspector Daly had ordereel them tc
charge the crowd. Civiliuns also saj
that patrolmen told them that thev
were using their nightsticks by Daly's
order.
Mayor to Get Protest
Soldiers and sailors gathered in the
street, following the. downpour and de?
cided to hold a meeting this moraine.
at which plans for a parade to City
Hall for a demonstration against the
police will be discussed. They will ask
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt to be
their spokesman.
Jerome A. Myers, chairman of the
outdoor activities of the Liberty Loan
said that he sent six of his speakers
io Madison Square Garden last night
. o that they might hear the radical ad?
dresses and answer their arguments
later in their own speeches. All o?
i he six were badly beaten by the
police. Each has made a report of his
treatment in writing and these will be
submitted to the Liberty Loan Com?
mittee for action to-day.
Scores Injured Here
In Raids by Soldiers
On May Day Affairs
More than a score of persons were
. injured and many women fainted when
200 soldiers, sailors and marines
raided various meeting halls of Social?
ists. The most serious riot took place
at the new building of "The New York
Call," the Socialist daily, 112 Fourth
Avenue, where all the men present
were reported to be compelled to run
the gantlet between two rows of uni?
formed men outside of the building,
| At least twelve men were badly in?
jured. Among the other place-; raided
were the Rand School, the office of
"The Novy Mir," the Russian Socialist
daily; a meeting at Madison Square
Garden and "The Daily Forward"
? Building, 175 East Broadway.
The rioters marched systematically
| from place to place and did their work
I in organized fashion, responding me
. chanically to the bugle played by one
of the sailors.
Judge I'anken Injured
Among the most severely injured
: was Waiter Cook, state secretary of
( the Socialist party, who was knocked
unconscious by a soldier at 149th
Street and Brook Acenue, The Bronx,
where he was to address an open air
?'meeting. He suffered severe wounds
; in the head and neck. He was taken
j to Lincoln Hospital, where he was re
; vived and permitted to leave. Later
I he addressed a meeting at the Band
; School. Another who was assaulted at
\ the Rand School was Judge Banken,
! the Socialist Judge of the Municipal
, Court. He was roughly handled by a
policeman when trying to enter the
j school and was attacked by a group
j of uniformed men. Only by reveulin?
Jhis identity was he saved from serious
j injury. ,
The uniformed men divided them
: selves into two parties, one of which
; formed the double-line gauntlet out
' side, whik another rushed upstairs,
i whore about four hundred men, women
, and children were listening to an ad
; dress by William N'udelman. '
i N'udelman requested the sailors and
?soldiers to get the women and chil
| dren to safety. Sorno of them, baffled
i by this request,, proceeded to carry it
lout by herding the women and children
down the Htairn and into corners of
the room. Whilo some of the uni?
formed men made an effort to get the
? women and children out, most o? them

A number of soldiers made their way
to the fifth story, where they were met
?? by the singing of the Star Spangled
' Banner by Mrs. Mary A. Gates and
Zelda Charters. They saluted, waited, a
few moments, and shouted:
"Get the women and children out?
we're American soldiers.''
"We don't want no Bolsheviks," one
soldier shouted. He Rave his name as
Private James II. Tuller, 453 West
, Thirtieth Street.
Another soldier active in "The Call"
building was Private Frank Paimieri, of
the 38th Artillery. He continued shout?
ing defiance at "the Bolsheviks"
throughout the riot.
Man Breaks Leg
Alfonso Daimin, of 1737 Catalpa Ave?
nue, Brooklyn, broke his leg when he
jumped from a first floor window. He
; was treated bv Dr. N. N. Blum, of 326
j East Fifth Street.
Others who were seriously hurt were:
Samuel Miller, of 191 McKibbcn
Street, Brooklyn; Jose Calvo, of 120
Fast Tenth Street; Sam Iglia, S. Par
melon and Samuel De Witt.
The police and about a dozen men
from the Provost Guard's office were
: helpless in controlling the mob. So
. cialists present charged that they made
i no effort to do so.
The uniformed men were led by
| Barney Dreyfuss, a Scotchman in kilts
and member of t?e 48th Canadian
; Highlanders; Lewis Liftman, a speaker
; for the Second Federal Reserve Dis
; trict of the Government Loan Organi?
sation, 1183 Broadway, aril) n man
: whose name was grven as Bob Fgan.
The latter two were civilians.
March to Rand School
After paying a visit to Madison
Square Garden the uniformed crowd
? marched to the Band School. Here a
meeting was '.71 progress under the au
; spices of the Leather Workers' Union.
' Speeches in English, Russian and Yid
? dish were being made when, suddenly,
: it was announced that uniformed men
I were coming up the street to attack the
? place. The front doors quickly were
| barricaded and a call for Ihe police
; sent in. When the police arrived the
| uniformed men were making their way
I up the i'ire escapes into the upper
! stories of the building.
AVith yells and cheers, more than
i fifty of them entered the third and
? fourth floors of the structure, found
: an American flag and nailed it up to
\ the flag post, on top of the building.
| A number of men ?nade their way to
; the library, on the second floor, where
1 Alexander Trachtenberg, research di?
rector of the school, and Andre Gour
land, a French Socialist, were work
! ing. They ransacked the place. They
then struck up "The Star Spangled
Banner," demanding that every one in
! the street lift their hats. Tho men
I then departed for "The Call" office
, on Fourth. Avenue, rushed into the
'building and demanded that all tho
: men present step aside. In the mean
? while one Socialist woman present
1 lined up the audience on one of the
| upper floors and asked them to sing
"The Star Spangled Banner."
Parade Broken Up
Some one sent in a call for the
; police. Captain Shaw and a squad
; of policemen from the Mercer Street
station arrived when the riot was
practically over. Likewise did a group
! of military police from the Provost
Guard's office.
Traffic in the street was blocked for
more than half an hour.
Again striking up "The Star Spengled
I Banner," the uniformed men left "The
i Call" building, and marched up Broad?
way to .Irving Place, where they stop?
ped a parade of the United Hatters'
Union, led by a band. They compelled
the band to play "The Star Spangled
Banner" and the paraders to take
their hats off and join in the sing?
ing. Most of the paraders wore white
| straw hats and black bands. These
: the uniformed men confiscated and tore
! a number of banners marked "The day
i of emancipation for the workers is
! near."
? One man among the hatters who car?
ried alarge American flag was ordered
to carry it at the proper angle. The
policemen and military police on the
scene did not interfere.
The men then marched down Four?
teenth Street to Second Avenue, where
? they gathered at a drug store. Some
jone told them a number of Bolshe
iviks were hidden there. Their search
; was unsuccessful.
More Meetings Broken Up
At Broadway and Seventeenth Street
the uniformed men met another group
i of comrades. The former group, ap?
parently on a signa', changed their
i line of march and returned to Four
: teenth Street, marching down to Sec?
ond Avenue and thence to Tenth
?Street, where they turned a few paces
[west and stopped in front of the "Novy
Mir" building. There was no one in?
side. The men stood undecided for a
?moment, broke a few windows and
| departed for "The Call" oflice to help
' in the attack there. Part of them,
! however, went to the Manhattan Ly
! ceum, 64 Fast Fourth Street, where a
: meeting of labor union men and a
j Ukrainian Socialist club was in prog
' ress.
A number of radicals on the doorstep
rushed unstairs and gave the signal
that uniformed men were coming to at
I tack the place. Tho entire audience of
3,000 rushed downstairs and formed
'into squads as if ready to give battle.
The uniformed" ln-ii departed and went
to 133 Mast. Fifteenth Street, the head?
quarters of the Union of Russian
Workers. Here they found the place
j empty and satisfied themselves witl
, the breaking of a few windows.
A meting at Webster Hall was alsi
! attacked by a group of soldiers am
1 sailors. Here, however, they foum
the audience singing "The Sta
! Spangled Banner" and departed. Cap
' tain James Post, of the East Twenty
second Street station, and a number o
his men were on tne scene.
The disturbances lasted from nooi
i until about 5 o'clock.
4 Nation-Wide Strikes
Voted as Protest Against
Keeping Mooney in Jal
Four nation-wide strikes, the last o
| which is expected to paralyze the coun
: try's industry as long as Thomas .:
* Mooney remains in jail, were vote
in a delirium of enthusiasm last nigh
as the climax,of the May Day celebra
tion of 10,000 men and women workers
i who crowded into Madison Squar
1 Garden. ?
The novel strike vote took the forr
i of resolutions providing for three five
j day strike perioels, in which every or
: ganized worker in the United State
? is expected to thus express his pro
test against the imprisonment o
? Mooney and his demand for a ne^
? trial for the labor leader convicted o
j Tbomb throwing. The final period is b
I be an indefinite one, according to th'
; backers e>f the project, to continue un
, til the demands of the Mooney ad
herents have been met by the courts
Euthusiasm Runs High
The Garden was crowded with ai
: audience that was keyed up to a higl
? pilch of excitement from the momen
; the doors of the building opened. Th'
| presence of as big a force of mountei
j and other boIicemen as ever guarde?
; a meeting neld there, reports of th'
presence of large bodies of soldier
i and sailors who were threatening ti
' raid tho place, and shouts that reachec
the interior of the building from timi
to time served to increase the feelinj
of impending big events.
Leaders in the building found it al
most impossible to control the jump:
nerves of their followers. When tin
meetin gopened with the singing o
"L'International," the song of the radi
cals tho world over, there was a wile
demonstration of enthusiasm. "Younj
Russia," the anthem of the Bolshevists
was followed by another demontration
When P,00 steamfittera and plumbers
headed bv Joseph Hoffman, walked ou
! of the hall after listening to thesi
i songs, denouncing the meeting as {
? Bolshevist demonstration, there were
j hisses and boos that continued foj
! nearly ten minutes.
Strike Resolutions
Anton Johansen, a Chicago laboi
leader, read the resolutions that cal
fur the strikes. Under the programme
they will be as follows:
1. From July 4 to 8 inclusive, unless
a new trial or freedom is grantee
Mooney before that period.
2. From September I to 5 inclusive
unless the demands of Mooney adher?
ents have been met by that date.
3. November 19 to 23 inclusive, unies:
the first two trials were successful.
4. After the. third strike a genera':
walkout to be culled, to continue at
long as Mooney is a prisoner.
Dudley Field Malone was called upor
? to sneak in support of tho document
and, in spite of the fact that he was
I introduced by tho chairman as "Dr
Felix Malone," he was recognized and
i cheered by his audience. The formel
| Collector of the Port, called upon the
workers to take part in the general
| strike as the only means of gaining
j "justice" for Mooney.
Bomb Plotter Assailed
Dr. Judah L. Magnus added several
i paragraphs to his prepared address tc
'express his indignation at the crime
| of the bomb mail? rs who sent ex
! plosives to various notable--, popularly
looked upon as enemies of labor.
' "The man who sent those explosives
, not only was a criminal, but he was a
! great fool," he said. "He has done un?
told harm to the cause of labor by
sending those bombs, without hope of
accomplishing any good. Labor has
everything to lose by violence and
I nothing to gain."
"We believe that Mooney should have
a new trial, because we are convinced
that he had nothing to elo with the
throwing of bombs or with the perpe?
tration of the terrible crime of violence
of which he has been accused. If we
believed it we would not be here. I
know that I speak in tho name of all
of you when I say that we are abso?
lutely anel unalterably opposed to mur?
der and to bloodshed as a means e>f
settling elisputcs.
"For myself, I must say that I abhor
and disbelieve in the elficacy of the
blood method, of the method of brute
violence in the settlement of any kind
of dispute?be it between individuals
or between classes or between govern?
ments themselves. What I do believe
in, and what 1 am sure you believe in,
is direct economic action and direct
political action and direct intellectual
and spiritual action."
Mrs. Mooney Applauded
Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife of the im?
prisoned labor leader, was applauded
for ten minutes when she arose to
speak in behalf of her husband.
-Mrs. Mooney discussed her husband's
case, telling of the alibi of the labor
organizer and the evidence that she
said had been perjured in the hope of
sending him to death.

' earners had done so, although no in?
dustry was tied up.
Madison Square Garden was the
storm centre of the demonstrations.
! Things began to happen there early in
; the afternoon, when the mass meet
! ing cf the New York Joint Board of
; the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America was called to order.
Ten Thousand Gather to Protest
Early in the afternoon nearly JO.Oa.O
| men and women crowded into the great
: structure. Arnold Volpe's Symphony
i Orchestra occupied the stage, sharing
i honors with Miss Anna Fritziu, grand
i opera star, and Max Rosen, violinist,
| and speeches were expected from Sid
I ney Hillman and Charles W. Ervin.
The orchestra had hardly started
when the arrival of at least four hun
1 dred soldiers and sailors threatened
I to force police and provost guards to
| use their clubs. Among the soldiers
j were Scotch kilies and a few British
, and Canadians.
A double line of policemen under
Captain .lames II. Post, of the Twenty
second Street station, was hurriedly
drawn across the main entrance of the
, building. An even more formidable
array of provost guards, with waving
clubs, was formed by Captain D. C.
Mills.
"We are going in to see what these
Bolsheviki are up to," said the leader
of the belligerent soldiers.
"But it is a musical programme and
' not spcechmaking," protested Captain
: Mills. "This isn't the Mooney demon
: stration."
"Then let. us go in and see what's
; doing," said the soldier-leader.
"Let's go!" came the cry from his
I followers.
Three buglers who had joined the
j crowd played three conflicting calls.
The inspiration was sufficient to cause
the soldiers and sailors to force their
i way pa . police and guard lines into
I the lobby.
Captains Mills and Post, with their
j men, pushed against the advancing
I lines with drawn clubs and succeeded
! in -topping the advance before it had
; reached the auditorium. There was
; further argument. A marine obtained
I a ticket from some place and entered
the auditorium. He ?heard no disloyal
j remarks, and decided it was a good field
for a Victory Loan plea. So he made a
j plea for the loan and departed, to re?
port to those in Cue lobby.
"Very well. We'll be back to-night
to see this Mooney crowd through!"
was the parting shot of the soldiers'
leader.
Meanwhile there was a sudden
change of programme. Hillman and
Ervin decided to abstain from speech
making, and the musical programme
; was carried out without assistance
from the labor leaders. But groups of
men and women in the hail, most of
i whom boasted of Bolshevik tendencies,
loudly voiced their protests at the im
1 prisonment of Debs, Mooney, Haywood,
i Kate Richards O'Hara and others.
The Protests Planned
The original intention of the meet
' ing was shown by protests, published
j in the programme. Those represented
! by the officials who drew the pro
| gramme agreed to support these de
? mauds:
"Complete restoration of our con
! stitutional rights of free speech, freo
! press and free assemblage.
"Repudiation and repeal of all
; measures of oppression -and repres
i sion which are endangering the lib
j erties of the people and violating
i our highest ideals.
"Speedy, full and complete am
; nesty for all industrial and politi?
cal prisoners, including Mooney and
' JBiings.
"Immediate termination of the
practice of the so-cae eportation of
aliens, which has been applied ex?
clusively against the labor movement
in the interest of exploiting employ?
ers, of industrial Prussianism.
"Immediate withdrawal of Ameri?
can troops from Russia and other
foreign countries, allowing all those
countries a free hanel to work out
their own salvation in accordance i
with the principle of self-determi?
nation for all nations and peopies.
"No intervention in Mexico in the
interests of the oil trust or any
other capitalist group, likewise in
line with the principle of self-deter?
mination."
The first serious disturbance of the" j
day came when 200 strike sympathizers !
suddenly set upon an almost equal !
number of strike breakers going to i
work at the factory of the Haacke
Fur Company, 179 to 183 Moore Street^ ?
Williamsburg. Twelve policemen used
their clubs vigorously. Several men j
were injured.
At the conclusion of the brief bat- ]
tie, nineteen men were in custody, i
They were locked up at the Stagg
Street police station, charged with riot- j
ing.

? groups which were saiel to be planning
further demonstrations.
Following a meeting in the Dudley
; Street Opera House the radicals filed
? into the street carrying red flag3,
I wearing red buttons and flaunting
: radical literature. A number of women \
i wore red dresses. Leaders could not
; produce a parade permit, and policemen j
i ordered them to disperse.
Police reserves were called, and as a
\ wagon approached shots were fired at j
i it. A patrolman was hit. The police j
? tired in the air, not wishing to hit ?
bystanders. More shots were fired, j
j stones were hurled and the police ad
, vanced on the rioters, swinging their
i clubs. The crowd fought with the po
j lice, who were outnumbered, and sol
j diers, sailors and civilians went to
j their assistance.
The police succeeded in breaking up
i the crowd and began taking prisoners.
These were loaded into patrol wagons
and taken to station houses. The po?
licemen held their guns on the radi?
cals, who threatened to rescue the pris?
oners. One officer held a gun on five
men and said he would shoot the first
one who attempted to escape.
Superintendent of Police Crowley be?
came alarmed and notified the adjutant
general's department that he might
have to call on the state guard for help.
An officer from the adjutant general's
office went to Dudley Street and found
! that the police haei the rioters sub
j (?tied.
