Fist Fights in Paris
Orer Food Prices

PARIS. Aug. 10 By The Associated
Press ).-The opening of the central
markets early this morning was the
occasion for brawls between vendors
and the price vigilance committee and
would-be purchasers. Fist blows and
battles in which vegetabl were used
as missiles were numerous. During
the melee the problem of bringing
down the cost Of living was solved by
some of the combatarts who pillaged
stores and stands and made their es-
cape.
All the market stalls were hurriedly
closed, except those where meat is
sold. The vegetable vendors placed
their stocks which had escaped pilage
in storage. An understanding between
the dealers and the vigilance committee
was reached at 10 o'clock on the prices
which the dealers might charge in dis
posing Of thsir remaining stocks Of
butter. eggs and cheese
The Montmartre pushcarS men
struck this morning. Later they held
Il meeting of protest against the vigil
lance committee, then thronged the
streets where ther carts wers sta
TONED. upsetting vegetables nnd fruit
stands in front OF shops and breaking
windows. The shopkeepers closed their
places.
Fight arrests were made in connec-
tien with the disturbances In tho cen
trGl market. The chief factors of the
trouble was an attempt by members of
the vigilance committee to prevent
foodstuf7s. including FISH, bought by
the big hotels and restaurants, to leave
the markets. The committee argued
that it was the readiness of such buy
ers to pay any price, however, high,
that was resulting in the raising of
all prices.
