FOOD RIOTERS ARE
SHOT BY SOLDIERS
-Four Killed and Many Wounded in Hol
1and-Wofnen Joined in Raid
on Storage Plants.

AMSTERDAM, July 5 Four youths
were Killed and nineteen persons injured
when police and troops fired on a mob
which was pllaging shops. The clash fol-
lowed a parade of large number OF
workmen through the streets contrary TO
police orders.
Previously protest meeting at the Da
mond Bourse denounced the brute
forces OF the wealthy classes and the
action OF the police and military in con
nection with the scarcity of potatoes and
their export to England. The meeting
adopted a resolution In favor Of a 2i-hour
general strike as a remedy.
Rotlng also occurred in the kattenberg
market district Fresh troops have been
summoned to Amsterdam
The RIOTS resulted from an attemnt Of
the government to ship potatoes to Eng
land The anti ministerial Telegraf re-
fels to the difficulty of making the less
educated classes understand the necessity
on the one hand OF hartering potatoes for
German coal and iron and on the other
hand OF fulfilling the contract with Eng
land. which calls for forwarding to that
country an amount Of potatoes equivalent
to that exported to Germany
The burgomaster states that cessa tion
of exports to Germany would mean par
alysIs of industries with resultant lack OF
work and with no coal next winter

expectation of all foods. The government
is taking measures to bring adequate sup
plies from the rural districts and dstrb
ute them at reduced prices.

shipyard laborers walked out in sympathy
with the dockmen. A big meeting 0
strikers was called for the afternoon. Th

strations and open air meetings A dep
utation of the dock workers visited tn
burgomaster and demanded a better sup

the military guards from the market
where the potato riots occurred. Wit
} regard to the latter the burgomaster re
piled that order must be maintained a
