Fierce Fighting in Northern Italian Strike
MILAN, TURIN AND OTHER CITIES AFFECTED Received Wednesday, 10.35 p.m. LONDON, March 7. Fierce fighting between strikers aided by partisans and the Fascist militia has raged in Milan for the last 24 hours, says the Daily Express’s correspondent on the Italian frontier. The battle began in a workingclass district when Fascists tried to arrest strikers. Many were killed on both sides. The authorities tried to get the trams running through the paralysed city hut the strikers overturned the trams. The German commander in Northern Italy has arrived in Milan to attempt to restore order and has proclaimed a state of siege. The workers in the Breda and Pirelli plants barricaded themselves in the factories. Saboteurs are being paraded through the streets before being shot without trial. The situation in Turin is reported to be nearly as bad and the strike is spreading to many other towns.
