WOMEN STRIKE RIOT.
CAVALRY CHARGES ARE WITHOUT EFFECT.
Rome, May 22. The town of Terni lias been in a state of uproar since this morning owing to rioting by women strikers.
Women pickets persuaded large numbers of male workers to stay away from work, and many business establishments had to be closed Tor the day. So much disorder prevailed that detachments of cavalry were called out and made several charges on the women, though without much effect.
Then the garrison was reinforced bv eighteen hundred men, but the troops were chiefly used to safeguard the hanks and other premises. In many cases the women boarded the trams and assaulted workmen who declined to associate themselves with the strike.
