Violence hits New York streetcar strikes
On Thursday violence dominated the Manhattan and Brooklyn streetcar strikes. Police fought mobs from sundown Wednesday to daybreak, with many arrests and injuries. Women led some mobs, threw objects, and were confronted by police as cars were overturned and tracks blocked. Despite turmoil, underground lines ran in Manhattan except Second Avenue, while Brooklyn main lines stayed open. Union leaders claim unity and readiness to fight, with talks of militia and arbitration. By Friday thousands more could join, and a Grand Central meeting aims to coordinate support.
