A fali of seven inches of snow in New York City made a demand for about. 4,000 shovellers.. Several waggonâ€"loads of shovels were taken to the busiest streets, and the unemployed, knowing the demand for work, congregated in crowds and fought desperately for posâ€" session of the implements of labor. Every shovel handed out was fought for by the needy with fierceness arousâ€" \gd by hunger and the Prospect of earnâ€" inga dollar. Some fell on their knees, hoiding the shovels to their breasts, and crawled out among the feet ol the struggling crowds. Several cases of serious injury were reported. When one waggon was emptied the disapâ€" pointed crowd would run away to anâ€" other and join in the struggle for the few remaining shovels When the last was given out a shout of protest went up from the crowd who had been deâ€" feated in the struggle. Many waited around all day, eager to seize the chance for work when a shoveller grew tired of his job. But most of the forâ€" tunate ones worked on through the day and the night, only relinquishing their shovels to the patient waiters when exâ€" hausted nature forced them to give up the struggle.
