THE LANCASTER NEWS NEW YORK WOMEN 1 AN0_P0LICE FIGHTl URGED TO RAISE HELL ! Wives and Sisters of Strikers , Follow Advice With Attack Upon Street Car. ; New York. Oct. .V- -Spurred on by exhortations of "Mother" Jones, labor auitator, sou wives and wonu'ii relatives of striking car men battled with the police late th's afternoon in the most serious riot since the walk ' out on the traction lines beran a month aco. X :ht sticks were swunc ' lie lit and lo;: by the police and nianv of th' women were bruised Scores of the rioters carrbnl babies in 'h<i" arms. A crowd of strikers who had co cremated a ton ;d the uptown ha'I where the meet In u addressed i\ "Mother" Jones was held, entered . . - 1 , , u>, (IN U'- ?> 1 III" Willi' !l , and was driving hack tin- few n * oli men present when an automoi ' < ' blue coated 'reinforcements nr. iv ! The rescuers plunged into the strv gling mob and wielded their c'ubs \igorously. When the rioters finally ^ tied they left nine prisoners six wn men and three men in the hands of the poliee. The trouble began when the women poured out of the hall where "Mother" Jones had exhorted them to "pet the 'scabs' off the cars." "You are too sentimental." she , cried, "staying at home thinking of dress and trinkets when you ought to be out raising hell." Trooping in the street, the women hooted and peered at erosstown cars in Eighty-sixth street. Suddenly a chunk of asphalt was hurled through the window of a car halted by a large automobile truek. This seemed the signal for a general attack on the car and in less than a minute every window was shattered. A patrolman who was on strike duty on the car escorted the 4 0 or .10 passengers into the street and then charged alone into the crowd of jeering women. He was helpless, however, until assistance arrived. Meanwhile the car was being wrecked as piece after piece of broken asphalt was hurled at it. The motornian and conductor were lost to sight after several women clambered aboard the car and pulled them to the street. The men's clothing was torn, their faces scratched and bruised. It was not until the automobile load of reserves arrived that a semblance of order was restored. one of the women arrested charged the police with draining her infant child from her arms. She asserted the child was left on the sidewalk, and two hours after riot no trace of it had been found. Hefore the meeting of the women closed a committee was appointed to arrange for a women's parade from Union Square to the city hall where an .attempt will he made to see Mayor Mftehel.
