New. York, April 21.
Disorder broke out on Thursday afternoon at a demonstration for unemployed relief at the city hall, when a group of several hundred Communists broke through the police lines. The police instantly charged the crowd and blackjacks and batons were swung repeatedly on the heads of the demonstrators.
A Philadelphia message states that a score of persons were injured and 23 others, six of them women, were arrested on Thursday, when the police broke up two groups of marchers in what was termed by the authorities a plot to mass radicals for a march on the city hall. Three policemen were injured.
