were refused supplies they began taking
read by force. often without paying
ior 1t. This procedure eventually was
extended to the butcher shops. which
were plundered until n troop OF Hussars
was summoned. These soldiers we're
kept busy during the night and several
of them were injured by stones or other
missiles. Ten OF the rioters were
taken to hospitals. Many other persons
were injured but went home.
Hunger demonstrations occurred a,
