 The applause was intended only as a tribute to the fighters but at that moment labor riots were under way in many localities and the po- lice thought that this was the begin II of another. The police charged firing their pistols into the air. Some of the crowd began shooting back al the police and Camera and IZcudun found themselves in the midst of a little battle.
