Meeting Prompt action by the commanders of tour checked a ance that threatened the lower east side of the city with disaster last night The trouble behind the outbreak was the dis- prices of Kosher meat Before the angry yelling mobs that thronged the streets for miles had been quieted 500 officers had been to the neighborhood more than a score of prisoners had been taken to ferent stations several men and women had been slightly Injured by missiles burled from crowds and the foreign-born population for a square mile around Broome ard Essex Streets had been thrown into a stats of excitement declared by people familiar with the quarter to be un- precedented in Its history The Kosher butchers of the east side numbering about had abandoned their light against the wholesale meat dealers and had raised their prices even higher than the retailers of New York The consumers of the district were up in arms They had shown their rage all day by minor outbreaks against Individual butchers When dark came on it a meeting Ing women in New Irving Hall which is in Broome Street near Essex the ers of the day had their numbers ed by many who had been at work earlier The women's meeting was a sign for lence and at there had assembled outside the hall a noisy aggregation ofi from to people As the loud haranguing of the speakers Inside the hall penetrated to the streets the mob that is the only name fits the sort of crowd was seemed to take up the echo and volleys of abuse even more strenuous than those came from the interior Each yell Increased in violence Back and forth tha crowds surged in small bunches and singly all apparently bent on creating a ance A policeman on the corner was Jostled and raised his club With a rush and a composite In as as that part of the east side speaks a section of the was upon him Three or four other rah up There were plenty of them in the vicinity for Capt Walsh of the Street tion had anticipated thu trouble in a ure and had detailed extra men on every post After a sharp struggle the attackers were routed but as withdrew down the side streets Essex and Norfolk it was apparent at once that thousands of were fast pouring to aid from every direction The first onslaught on the had taken place almost in front of the meeting hall Now attacks were firm all the and around I each corner and tenement groups huddled themselves together in another move as soon from the repulse RESERVES TO THE RESCUE ot officers dodged into a drug store on the corner of Essex Street and called up Police Headquarters Obtaining connection with Street told Walsh about the trouble pre- cinct commander hustled of his men ordered air the rest to re- serve duty in station and headed his relief line toward the scene of ance By the time reached Broome Street the few officers around the hall were In a fight I This way and that they crowd to yell more viciously than their assailants and belaboring the less sensitive parts of rioters bodies clubs It was noticeable throughout the melee that the policemen kept their did nil they could to injuries to those strove against and used their sticks more to frighten than to chastise The way they handled the thousands or rather the tens of sands for before the trouble in progress an hour all the streets were ed for half a mile in all directions was commented upon as1 remarkable by all who witnessed tho affair Capt Walsh and his men not been on the when It was that their worf entirely Inadequate to cope with the situation Calls fnr ance verc sent to three other precincts apt from en the run followed by about forty Capt hurried tip from Elizabeth Street and Capt pon brought his men from Street at n clip that caused the to out on their brows when they had cm short distance from station to fighting I men wore called from Street and the number of guards was periled to They were stationed ir is Tossing of the intervening blocks had to stay within doors None cross a line unless armed with a fire badge or some other sign of Time and again the mobs surged and were repelled by the policemen At one minute there would be an advance by a rush scream of fierce curses and at last comparative quiet Hardly wasi one rush over when another would time at Norfolk Street or perhaps up at Orchard The crossings had to be for many blocks mid there is no doubt that the disorderly crowds far away from the scene of the start did not even know what they were doing but simply created trouble because they heard the those about them saw tile hostile policemen on guard and maybe felt the a club across legs and arms when they ventured too close to the prescribed areas MISSILES HURLED FROM HOUSES All the while missiles were being hurled from windows and the of lead pipe struck and an ambulance had to be but it was found that she could go after a bandage had been fastened around her head Pieces of bricks whizzed through the every now and then causing the of- and plain-clothes men

and sent him to the station The patrol wagon up and down picking up Its burdens at the corners leaving them at the station and returning for more Among the ers were two little girls who with others had shouted at an refused to stay back of the lines and finally leaped on the policeman tore one of his coat thrown him down in the mud of the gutter When arrested by him and taken to the station they wept At two or three of the nearest to the meeting hall ambulances called from Gouverneur stood ready in case of emergency All in all the scene was almost startling Those who ar- rived in the neighborhood on horse cars without any previous intimation as to the extent of the trouble wondered whether it was a battlefield they had tound There wat in evidence every preparation for a more serious ending than the one that occurred and those who siaw the trouble from the start that only the fast work of the police averted a catastrophe It took the TOU men fully an hour a stop to the rushes against thojnvaud even after that they were utterly keep the streets clear The crowds still gered and shouted defiance from the dis- tance The ambulances still stood on the corners flanked by the patrol wagons tha horses of which needed the late rest after their hard labor of the early evening Until the morning hours the streets were black people men were still urging on the dren were

them just before tho announced time for the meeting had come The street was already packed but from the adjoining streets the crowds swarmed for the hall Policemen Bennett Haj and begged the crowd to listen to reason but the people were shouting in Yiddish and could not hear because of the noise they made They came like a great wave and the three for an instant were powerless Then they did the Hay grabbed a big man by his long beard and threw him back into the crowd nan with one arm free the other ins a woman with a baby in her arms struck a savage-looking man between the eyes sending him spinning from the door Bennett hurled himself into the crowd There was space enough then to swing the three clubs and they were swung with great vigor I With tlin clubs sounding as they landed those in front fought those behind them in a desperate effort to escape Many fell and were trampled on and it looked as there be a great disaster To make matters worse the windows of the lower hall were thrown open and men and women there waved handKerchiefs crowd outside mistaking the crush for a great demonstration lor tho cause they were i there to represent was but the policemen were prepared They fought with all their strength and so that the wave receded as those near enough to see the result of the swinging clubs fought back again those in the rear There was a momentary breathing spell for the officers and delegated to get a telephone and summon help The parted as he they had seen him ac work He reached the tele- phone drus store across the street and summoned aid and then managed to get back to his the third wave was to be resisted Some one had shown sense enough to open a side entrance to the hall but was away he could get both of the doors If it had not been for this relief the policemen must nave been con- As it was the attention was diverted 10 the new entrance enough for policemen to make a third stand Twist inc and turning swearing and lighting men and women were propelled into the narrow entrance losing hats wraps but through some miracle not losing their lives i SCENES AT THE FRONT DOOR The at the main door were about exhausted had lost his club and Bennett his helmet Perspiring and panting they were holding back the yelling mob when they saw those before them scatter like frightened sheep falling over one another in their eagerness to cape the onslaught of the reserves on the full run with their clubs and striking right and left The greatest ger was over The lost club and the fallen helmet were recovered the latter looking like a tin can that had been used by boys in a game of hockey Capt Walsh was just congratulating pelf on having the situation In hand when a woman waving a red handkerchief urged the dense of people in Broome Street to charge on Policeman Hay who had ar- a who Insisted that she wouldr not go homo The crowd charged and were met bj ten policemen headed the Captain The nightsticks did their work again but as was the general rule during the many of the evening the people were not struck on the head but on the body and across the logs The woman laid down in the street scratching and kicking and screaming so that she could be heard above the roar of the people She was by the wrists still and screaming until she was placed in a patrol wagon and through a ing mob to the Essex Street Station The roughness thq woman excited the and when others were dragged through the crowd in much the same it not making much ence to thp policemen whether they dragged them by the teet or the hands missiles be- gan to fly trom the house tops and the fire escapes directed at the policemen A- brick just grazed the head of the Captain and was shattered on the pavement There was another charge by the man and they were met by women The men were in the rear ranks The of- stopped They did not want to club women and the women realizing this held their ground Capt Walsh was the first to solve the difficulty He twisted an ob- streperous around and struck her sharply with his club a foot below her waist The other policemen followed his example and the amason brigade scattered so that the plain clothes men had a chance at the men urging the women on They struck right and left at the bearded before them and the men of the mob ran screaming after their routed wives and sisters It was in this way the police over- came the mob Charge after charge was met in the same manner and the police had the unruly thousands under control in wonderfully short time This did not save them from cries of derision every time they took a prisoner to the station and the men on of patrol wagons had a hard time of it being pelted with filth and hard missiles They did not dare leave their positions and were forced to submit to the Indignities JIB JEROME ON THE SCENE District Attorney Jerome was told of the trouble while it was iat its height and dered efficient help by going about among his Rutgers Street neighbors advising them to keep away from the scene of trouble If went near it to induce their friends to leave and go to their homes He ANTHRACITE MINERS DECIDE TO STRIKE in Contest with Mine Owners PRES MITCHELL FOR PEACE Great Crowds of Miners from All Over the Coal Region Flock to Business Partially Paralyzed Continued on For the excellence of track the speed of its trains the and comfort its patrons the loveliness and variety scenery tha number and importance of its cities and the uniformly J correct character of Its service the New Yorky Central and Hudson Railroad IB passed by any similar Institution on either aide of tha Penn May an- mine workers in convention late this afternoon decided to continue the strike of the men against the mine to fight if out to the bitter end of calling out the engineers firemen and pump runners will be decided by the delegates The vote to continue the suspension was as cast 811 strike strike majority for President Mitchell however in with the rules of the United Mine Workers to the public that the action the convention was unanimous Tha step taken to-day by alter practically considering the Tor months has wiped out the uncertainty of the situation and is freely predicted that the most serious labor struggle In the tory of the country is about to is the view taken by every miner While the leaders arc cautious and will not forecast their actions it is not unlikely that the miners fight will be carried into the bituminous coal regions and into other fields of industry Mine workers for eighteen months have been looking forward to the strike that is now upon them They have saved their money and are considered to be in better shape to-day for a- fight than they the great strike of 1000 That struggle ed in the mine owners giving the men a- 10 per cent advance after a six weeks pension The operators are on record as being unalterably opposed to granting the men any concessions and they have sonally informed the mine leaders of that fact The workmen fear that the present fight may mean the destruction of their organization because they believe that the mine owners are bent more on J ing their union than they are in the demands for higher wages and shorter work days President Mitchell's advice to the miners was peace and he it to them In the and most forceful of language e was ably assisted President 1 any and Secretary of the lower district and of upper tory President of the First Dis- was the great champion of the strike advocates Mr Mitchell who was the last to speak was listened to with the est attention It is said that a telegram was read from the American Federation of Labor against a permanent suspension But the delegates not listen and amid con- suppressed excitement the vote taken Foe a time as though the peace advocates would but when delegation delegation the lower district last to be called answered H was seen that the men who a fight had won The result was received by the convention applause which however was not very enthusiastic oc prolonged The men appreciated the of their decision which no dampened their ardor The to call out the engineers firemen and pump was separated from the main Question early In the sion which began shortly after the con- vention met this morning There was an almost equal division in- this matter and the debate became so involved that it to consider that phase tae Question separately The men having thrown down the let to their employers have taken renewed courage it not be surprising if the convention to-morrow decided to call but the other employes referred The miners insist that nearly all tlic engineers firemen and pump runners belong to their organization say that they can get them all to quit if they want to In the event that this is brought about it would do incalculable damage to the mines through flooding unless the companies Succeed in filling men's places the people of fields are glad that the suspension and uncertainty occasioned by the long delays in reaching a conclusion of the strike are over the news of the convention's action caused considerable depression Business has been paralyzed to a certain extent and it will probably coma to almost a standstill There a great crowd of miners in Hazleton to-day They came from all parts of the coal region and most of them in the vicinity of the convention halu They were gathered in large groups each nationality flocking by itself and some information from the inside Besides these there were present about newspaper correspondents and a big contingent of agents of corporations who waiting to flash every scrap of information toi the outside exactly o'clock vote to strike was completed and the convention ad- jc timed The delegates however were not allowed to leave the building President Mitchell announcing that should re- main in the hall until had an- the result to the waiting crowd the front door there was a great rush st him but would not open his mouth until all the correspondents had assembled him A great cheer was given by the miners when the National leader shouted re- sult and the wild rush for telephone and telegraph ensued Hazleton and surrounding towns are night celebrating the permanent strike by giving parties The question where the strike ters will be established has not yet been decided upon but will In all probability be selected President Mitchell remain here until Saturday or Sunday if Hazleton Is not selected The National leader was apparently in humor to-night He was pressed for a statement on the situation But he politely refused to give any information bare fact that the convention had decided to strike He held a long with National Secretary-Treasurer W B son regarding future movements MINERS STRIKE JAKES OPERATORS BY SURPRISE Up to the time of the closing of their of- fices yesterday afternoon the tives of companies to be still strong in the belief that there would be no anthracite strike None of them waited longer than usual in anti- of anything unusual happening i and B Truesdale President of the j aware and Western Railroad left early in the afternoon for his Summer home in Greenwich Conn When inter- viewed by a TIMES reporter after the strike was declared Mr Truesdale appeared to be surprised that the miners had decided to strike and admitted that he had not ed it I considered all he said that the men would not strike They had no tangible Asked what the companies would do now that the strike is ordered he We have made no special preparations We will let them fight it out The mines are shut down anyway and will remain shut down far as Mr the strike would be a long one and might last several months His reasons for believing that there would be no strike at this time he said arose from the fact that there did rot seem to be z strong strike feeling and the miners were better paid than they had ever been paid before No concession would be made he saw and none intended no matter how long the strike would last Oscar S Straus wno is on both the Con- ciliation and Arbitration Committees of the National Civic Federation and had been all Jlong that the strike be averted said he was very sorry when told last night that the strike had been de- I hAd to the last he Said that there would be some slight I concessions on the part of the coal which would have given President Mitchell of the Mine Workers a chance to the mine workers to vote against a i 7 course the Arbitration Committee has not yet lost hope that it can do thing yet but I it will take its time and wait for a opportunity The operators it is understood believe that the chances are against the engineers and firemen joining In the strike They believe that the engineers may remain work

pursuit of them are three tugboats while another has gone from Montreal to Inter- cept them j Besides this a special train Is on the way up on the north shore with officers on board to take the prisoners and their cap- tors should they attempt to land This is the situation that the men have been taking refuge at Quebec for some months past have brought about The whole tiling is considered a comedy of errors the cause of the pursuit being that the authorities and the city authorities believe the men to have been kidnapped by American Montreal officers and not arrested regularly as is the case warrant issued by Judge Ulric Lafontaine of Montreal The complaint was laid Marlon Assistant District At- torney of Macon Ga and sets forth in de- tail that the accused are fugitives from justice in Georgia where they are under In- for having obtained for labor by fraud in connection with contracts for which Capt is serving a term In peniten- tiary Donald MacMaster K C who sents the complainant and Chief Detective Carpenter of Montreal with several of his officers and Detective Taylor the United States Secret Service went to Quebec arrested their men on the warrant and put them

overtake which was the Spray one of the swiftest tugs on the St Lawrence and the pursuit was On returning to Quebec it was to charter a train and attempt to head Spray at some point between Quebec and Montreal The arrest of Greene and Gaynor manner In which it was accomplished Quebec men have become well known When the two Americans first arrived in Quebec they were followed by two also from the United States at the Their ments led the hotel employes to believe that they were detectives sent here to watch Gaynor It now ops that one these men is Detective Burke Florida At o'clock a well-dressed man en- gaged a cabman by the hour in Quebec and to wait near tha Post Office Soon afterward Burke with another cab arrived Burke and two other men who came up walked toward the Chateau which Is near by In the meantime Mr Greene who had entered the Post Of- fice as was his daily custom came out of the main door Two who had been waiting in a store near by crossed the street and one of them placing his hand on shoulder pulled from his pocket and asked him to enter the first cab Greene was heard to ii minute until I but this was denied him and the three detectives and Greene entered the cab and were driven to the wharf While the arrest of Greene was being Burke and the other detectives went to the Chateau Frontenac Col nor was standing at desk when they entered The three detectives walked up to Gaynor one taking hold of his right arm and the other his left while Burke produced a legal paper Col Gaynor asked permission to get his overcoat but this was denied him and the four hurried out to the cab and started for the wharf at a rapid All these proceedings occupied about twenty The hotel people notified Col counsel of what had occurred The Attorney General's department and Judge Chauveau were notified and they in turn asked the police to investigate the matter i Half an hour after the departure of the Spray another tug was engaged by Mrs She went on board with Detective Walsh The pursuit of the Spray was given up at Cap Rouge eight miles from Quebec The Spray was then almost out of sight down the river I Upon the return of Mrs Gaynor to the city the lawyers In the case had a short consultation with her and immediately two petitions for habeas corpus ordering the return of Gaynor and Greene to this city were prepared two orders we're signed to that effect by In the Court In the meantime four members of the Provincial left by a Canadian Pacific train for Three Rivers with orders to secure a tug there and try and intercept the Spray The latter town is ninety miles from Quebec and just half way between there and The petitions were sworn to by Mrs nor who alleges that her husband and Greene were taken away sent and without giving them

absent in Quebec believing the men to have been kidnapped without legal warrants the Deputy Attorney dered the tugs to pursue the Spray The serious part of the situation is that the police of Quebec who are pursuing the Spray are said to be armed have definite Instructions to take the prisoners by force if necessary and do not know that Mr Carpenter and his officers have acted on t perfectly

the Spray hove In sight Suddenly the for tug appeared and the boat hurried out Into midstream but the fleet little tug was plowing through the waves at a rapid speed and before the boat reached the middle of the river tho Spray was dred yards in lead and gaining rapidly The chase was kept up for two miles but it was a hopeless race and the boat and officers returned to the city At S o'clock the of fleers again boarded the ferryboat started for Sorel hoping to overtake the Spray at that point The Arrest of Gaynor and Greene Was Carefully Devised by the Officials May arrest of and Greene was the result of a fully prepared and well-matured plan vised by the Government under instructions of the Department of Justice of the States Its inception dates back to the time Gaynor and Greene left the United States and took up their residence in Quebec The officials be- ban consideration of the question of the best means to have them extradited and brought back to Savannah Ga for trial The extradition treaty between Great Britain and the United States was ly studied and the conclusion reached that there existed good grounds for the extra- dition of the men To Marion who has figured prominently In the conduct of the cases at Savannah was assigned The duty of- proceeding to Canada and ing the government in the attempt to cure the return of the two men to the United States delay was bv the fact that certain records pertaining to the case had to be forwarded to Canada officials here satisfied after a thorough Investigation that nor and Greene felt reasonably secure from extradition while in Quebec because conditions existing there They feared that if the men were arrested in Quebec resort would be had to habeas corpus proceedings and they would be released For this reason and in accord with Mr Erwin's views or the matter the ation was reached to have the sworn out in Montreal and served on nor and Greene In Quebec thus bringing the Question of holding them for tion before the Montreal authorities Just by whom the warrants were served is not known here but It is supposed this was done either by a Canadian officer or by the United States Secret Service deputized for that purpose Tho ar- rangements made by Mr plated the chartering of n boat to take nor and Greene from Quebec to Montreal after they had been arrested in tho former place as in The Associated Press dis- patches A dispatch came to the ment of Justice late this afternoon which reported that scheme for securing tlw men on board the boat had been fully carried out The officials are highly pleased with the which Mr Er- win has performed the delicate duties signed to him arid say the methods de- vised for apprehending the men are ly legal The here is that when ar- the Montreal authorities Gaynor and Greene will endeavor to secure release by habeas corpus proceedings Any efforts in that line will be resisted by Mr Erwin who has employed a attorneys of Montreal to assist him In whatever proceedings are had The confident belief of the officials here is that this Government will be able to secure the extradition of the two men In which case they will be taken to Savannah for trial A careful perusal of the ex- tradition treaty they say demonstrates that Its provisions are broad enough to cover the offenses charged against them in the indictment It is not known here just what tho warrant for arrest charges Inc case Is quite complicated but an earnest effort will be made to compel the men to in Georgia Col John F Gaynor of Fayetteville Onondaga County Ga or the
