DISORDER AT NEW YORK.
PHILADELPHIA DEMONSTRATION.
NEW YORK, April 21.
Disorder broke out this afternoon at a demonstration by the unemployed seeking relief at the City Hall. A group of several hundred Communists broke through the police lines, whereupon the police instantly charged the crowd. "Blackjacks" and batons were swung repeatedly on to the heads of the demonstrators.
At Philadelphia 20 people were injured and 23 others, six of them women, were arrested to-day after the police had broken up two groups of marchers, in what was termed by the authorities a plot to mass radicals for a march cn the City Hall. Three policemen were injured.
