BERLIN RIOTS
COMMUNISTS BREAK THINGS (United Press Association.— By Electa i Telegraph.—Copyright..) (Received this day at 12.25. p.m.) BERLIN, May 2. Following a day of comparative quiet, Communists to-night smashed street •lamps, threw up barricades and fired on police reinforcements, which were hurried to the spot. The police returned fire wounding several, and then surrounded the Communists’ headquarters. The Communists who have not abandoned hopes of exploiting the situation are calling on the workers of Germany to join a gigantic fight as a protest against “the blood bath caused by inhuman Berlin police,” until all those arrested arc released. Strikes have already broken out at Hamburg shipyards and Ruhr coal mines.
Figures show that ten are dead and a hundred and sixty-six injured. Buildings in tlie neighbourhood of tlie fighting were heavily scarred by machfhe gun and rifle bullets. Charges of murder have been levelled at some of the thousand arrested.
