WORST SINCE WAR.
COMMUNIST RIOT. (Received Friday, 11.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, Thursday. A hundred persons were injured in a riot described by Police Commissioner Whalen as ‘‘the worst since the war,” when Communists gathered about soapbox orators in Union Square, and attempted to march towards the City Hall. The police, one of whom sustained a fractured skull, attempted to stem the column, upon which the rioting commenced. Numerous persons were battered, crushed or trampled upon in the scrimmage.
Many Communists were arrested, in eluding three prominent leaders.
