Five persons were injured as a climax to a melee between police and striking members of the Knit Goods Workers Union last night in front of a knitting mill at 250 Moore street, Brooklyn. Three of the injured were women.

According to police, the strikers attempted to invade the mill. A free for all battle then ensued and did not subside until two police emergency squads and five radio cars rushed to the scene. Several arrests were made.
