STRIKERS RIOTS.
Paris, Augaßt 8,
A large body of strikers sacked and fired a factory of Amiens, and then interfered with the firemen who attempted to subdue the flames. A serious riot ensued between the rioters and the firemen. Cavalry were called out and charged the rioters with drawn swords, clearing the street. The firemen then set to work to subdue the flames, which they ultimately succeeded m doing. Later on the strikers attacked a number of Italian workmen, who had been imported to fill their places. In the melee many of the latter were brutally ill-used.
