PARIS, May 31.-There was an encounter

tween a body of workmen and a detach-
ment of police. Twelve policemen were
wounded in the struggle, in which the
workmen had the upper hand until a de-
tachment of cuirassiers galloped up. cleared
the streets and made many arrests.
The trouble began when a body Of dig
gers. after having attended a meeting of
building trades, marched down the streets
singing the 'Internationale' and crying
Down with Clemenceau." The police at
tempted to intervene, but were met with a
storm of missiles, including stones, glasses
and chairs snatched IN from nearby cafes.
For a short time the immediate ~neighbor-

Shops we're hastily closed and windows
strongly barred. There were several minor
clashes on the streets and a number of the
manifestants we're seen flying from the
locality with bruised and bleeding faces,
The unionist barbers today voted TO go
on strike this evening or tomorrow. While
the building trades workmen at their meet

the case against skinny" Madden, r. A
Pouchot and NJ. j. Boyle, labor leaders,
charged with extortion in the settlement
OF a strike against the Joseph Klicka COM
pany.
Judge Mcsurely's ruling permits the state
to introduce witnesses not directly con-
cerned with the Klicka case. but who, it
is said, will testify that the alleged extor-
tion in the present case was merely an
incident OF a general policy pursued ty the
defendants.
Jacob Schsrmer. a building contractor.
told OF a strike last September OF the
Jewel Tea company.
IT asked Pouchot why the strike had been
called and he said certain sheet metal
sleeves for the coffee roasting plant had
been placed in the plant by %non-union
labor. I told him that IL that was mis- only
kick L would have the sleeves torn out and
new ones put in by union men.
"'Oh, don't bother about that; leave them
where they are Pouchot said. He told me
to zee Madden and make him a cash offer
to settle the strike"
Witness related a later interview with
Madden In which he alleged Madden de-
manded S.7bo for ca HING off the strike.

Then he came down to $500.
81 asked him how Skeff was to pay the
money and he said that Skeff should bring
along a confidential man to meet u similar
agent who would be with Madden. These
two agents were to be left alone in a
private room where the money was to
change hands,
skeff when put on the stand said that
he brought the money all in 800 bills 10
Madden and that the latter told him to
put them in an envelope. This he did and
left the sum IN the desk in the office used
by Madden.
