It was a new experience for the po lice and plainly confuted them. A acore of these women champions of the garment workers, who fuevd the rioting, were taken into custody. They sere immediately released, how- ever, when their Identity became known to the police. , One of them was injured when struck by a policeman** club, but her name did not become known, as she was hur riedly placed in an automobile and tak en to her home. Most of the women of prominence involved in the demonstrations were garbed a* working girls, and for this reason the police could not distinguish them from strikers until after arrests had been made. “I will take oath that we were doing absolutely nothing beyond the law."
