Vandals using red paint and rolls of absorbent cotton marred the walls of John Jay Hall and South Hall, which houses the Harkness Library, on the Columbia University campus shortly before midnight last night. Except for an abandoned two-gallon can and a quantity of stained cotton, no trace of the perpetrators was found and no motive established for their sabotage. The damage was done between 11:30 P.M. and midnight, according to university authorities.
Police of the West 100th Street station discovered that twenty-five painters employed by the university as a regular maintenance force had recently gone on strike but were unable to determine if the vandalism had resulted from the walkout. They were also attempting to investigate the movements of leaders in the group who held the meeting yesterday in front of Hamilton Hall to urge the reinstatement of Burke.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rkcpl6pvnay3ko24lw62hjn/bafkreifr2kaaaqavfiwd473hnc47eug5xuifq5cpn4q65xxegacdahjism@jpeg)

I didn’t want to draw another bike cartoon (truly) but then Doug Ford amended his anti-bike lane bill so that people riding bikes who are injured or killed on streets where bike lanes are removed can’t sue the provincial government & hold them responsible legally.
