being killed and several wounded "
by ita fire. At a late hour the mob was
still uncontrolled. -
One of the most serious elements in
ths complicated outlook was tha possi
bility of sympathetic strikes by labor '
unions, which har declared thvir up- -port
of the polieemsn's anion. Like the
pstrolmen's organization, most of then

So fierce was the resistance ef the aa
gry crowd to the efforts ef tha guards

guns were levelled and the mschlns gua
wss put in position. All sorts of missiles
