NEW YORK DISTURBED.
COMMUNISTS ACTIVE.
RELIEF WORK HINDERED.
SALVATION ARMY ATTACKED.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received January 9, 6.25 p.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 8. New York has been disturbed all day by tho activities of Communistic agitators, who were endeavouring to seek converts among tho unemployed. Peaceful groups of tho unemployed at tho bread lines and charity centres were troubled by agitators, against whom the police battled, with orders "not to let the unemployed becomo Beds."
Tho Communists at tho Salvation Army's bread line in Central New York, were tho cause of a considerable riot, in which one policeman was attacked and injured. In Brooklyn the borough police commander, aided only by orio police lieutenant, held off a mob of Communists with bare fists, and frustrated an attempt to smash tho doors of the Salvation Army headquarters there. Polico reserves this evening have been assigned to protect tho relief agencies, which during tho day were impeded in providing relief to tho unemployed.
