WARSAW. May NEARLY a hun
bred people were killed or wounded IN
disturbances in various quarters of
Warsaw when the troops. apparently
uncomfortable, violating all orders to
act with moderation, fired into crowds
of rioters here.
The worklnen in retaliation resorted
to the use of firearms and bombs.
Many women and children are among
Die dead and dying. What approaches
Il reign of terror exists in the city. and
il presents q most gloomy aspect, the
temper of the entire community augur-
ing i'll for Il peaceful solution of the
trouble.
May opened with every prospect that
the recent gloomy forebodings would
find contradiction in a peaceful ending,
Glorious weather ushered in the begin
ming Of the celebrations. and all factp-
ries. shops and offices of every descrip
ton were closed. The first disturbances
occurred when a procession of several
thousand workmeu, CARRYING red flags,
marched along Zelazna street.
The demonstration was quite orderly
and proceeded without molestation for
some distance. Suddenly several squad
rons of uhlans appeared. but without
interfering with the procession. and
took up II position along the sidewalks
while the workmen passed through the
lines. Then Il company of infantry mp
preached from the front. and immedi-
ately The cavalry charged into the pro
cessioll, driving ii with the flats of
their swords into Il dls~organized mass.
When the cavalry withdrew the III
fantry fired Il vollcy. whereupon the
demonstrators turned and fled. The in
fantry continued to discharge volleys
into the retreating. s~hrieking multi.
tldc. Tllirty-onc persons were killed
ana many wounded. and OF the latter
ii l. believed that fifteen will die.
The shooting is described as having
been quite u~nprovoked. 1t has aroused
the most intense Indignation among all
Glasses in Warsaw. Many of those who
were killed or wounded We're shot in
the back, showing that they were run
ming away when they were struck.
Another terrible scene was enacted
at the corner of Zlota and Sosnore
streets when workmcn ired from be
hind II wall ut n patrol, which lmmedi-
ately opened fire on the passing
crowds. killing or w%ounding twenty
persons.
The first bomb throwing occurred at
9:33 o'clock last night, when a bomb
was thrown into a Cossack patrol near
the Vienna station. Three Cossacks
and one policeman were killed and two
ladies' who were leaving the station at
the time were severely wounded by
the explosion of the bomb. Cossacks
and infantry fired Il number of yolleys,
and it is reported that many persons
were killed or wounded. Troops ur-
round the whole of the disturbed neigh
borhood.
All this bloodshed is likely to very
seriously affect the situation and may
cause Il general strike. The temper
of the people is ut white heat, and
there is much apprehension regarding
the possible vents of May ), the one
hundred and fourteenth anniversary of
the proclamation of the Polish constitu-
ton, when disturbances and demon
STATIONS always occur.
Only passenger trains are leaving War
saw, and these are crowded with ref
ugees and manned by officials of the
engineering departments. all the engine
drivers, fremen and porters having
quit work.
