Trouble Is Result OF Friction

mems Union

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Great excite.
ment prevailed In the congested
districts of Stepney today when al
legged Communists attacked the
branch offices of the National
Soldiers and Firemen's Union.
Union officials in the besiegcd
offices fired five revolver shots
from the windows, wounding ons
of the attacking party.
Today's outburst is the direct
result of a breach between ex.
tremists and conservatives in tho
English trade union movement.
The extremists, who are generally
alleged to be Communists, have re-
scented the fact that officers Of the
Sailors and Firemen's Union have
been strong in their condemnation
OF the unofficial seamen's strike.
Until today the resentment had
only evidenced itself in harsh re-
elimination.
Scotland Yard is expected to take
stern measures to present further
disorders and to curb the activities
of the alleged Communists, who
during the past few weeks have
