Efficiency of State Police in Philadelphia Riots
A squad of 12 troopers deployed to quell Philadelphia riot violence after a brick was thrown at a street car and unrest spread from a factory strike. The 4000 strong city force failed to restore order within days as mobs jeered and hurled fruit while officers in gray fatigue formed three hours after arrival. Troops from Pottsville joined the action, marching through Broad Street to Dauphin and Bent streets, with four troopers posted at each corner as Captain Groome coordinated with transit officials.
