MUELHEIM. April 21-The citizens
OF Muelheim and its vicinity are or
ganizing for self-protection against
the unemployed bands which were
dispersed by them from the center of
the town and now are assembling in
the outskirts
Armed with ak handles and other
improvised weapons, the people Of
Muelhelm are going about the
streets ready to repel any further in
vasfon OF the town by the malcon-
tents.
The Red Cross society's representa-
ttves say that nine or ten persons
are dead and seventy wounded in con-
sequence Of the three days of mob
rule; but this count is not an accurate
one, fnaemuch as those who had be-
sieged the Rathaus and other parts of
the town carried away some of their
dead and injured. Most of those
among the unemployed who were in
5ured were beaten"over the head with
clubs. Ten Of the defenders of the
Rathaus received bullet wounds.

In the suburbs, where the bands
driven out of the town are gather

ing up pedestrians and plundering
Some of the men entered a restaurant
owned by a man named Rosenthal
and ordered meals and drinks When
the bill was presented a fight was
started. and Roaenthal was killed and
his son shot four times.
German officials assert that most OF
those engaged In the disorders are
communists. About thirty of the
leaders have been arrested, but some
of them are still at large. The Off
cials Of both MueLheim and places in
this vicinity assert that they intend
to take measures today which will
entirely end the communist move
ment.
