PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21. Nearly 1,000 foreigners, marching city hall, where they said they intended to make demands upon Mayor Rey-burn for work, precipitated a riot in Broad street late yesterday afternoon, in which twenty persons were injured before the police dispersed the marchers and arrested fourteen of them. The men, most of whom were Ital ians and Poles, marched from the foreign settlement in the lower section of the city. The leaders and a score of others carried red flags having a rk border.

When they reached Broad street, a few blocks below the city hall, several wagons attempted to pass through the line. The drivers were dragged from their seats by the marchers and beaten. Policemen came to the rescue and a riot call was sent In.

Some of the marchers drew revolvers and began firing at the police, and the mounted officers riding Into the center of the fight used their batons right and left upon the heads of the leaders. In the melee, three police men were shot and slightly wounded, and Charles Munn, who was watching the fight, was struck in the leg by a stry bullet. Reserve Officer Piott was beaten unmercifully and is In a hospital, as Is Policeman Smith, who first went to the rescue of the drivers.
