Terrible Labour Riots
(FEU I'KESS ASSOCIATION.) London, April 24. The fire in Hull has extended over eight acres. The damage is estimated at £1,000,000, and the fire is still burning. Bailey and Leethain's engine works have 1 been destroyed, also a large hotel. The owners of the timber stack in the dockyards had sided with the shipping federation! and this is believed to be the reason of the incendiarism. Fires were discovered in other parts of the docks, but were quickly extinguished. The riots were renewed on Sunday. Dookers attempted to board the vessels under showers of stones; the military, however, fired a few harmless shots, which had the desired effect. The fire at Hull is still burning. Sixty more dragoons have been Bent to the town.
