Parliament House.
BY JOHN r. MEANEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, April
6.-Police and volunteer troops as
sumed control of st. Johns today
after wild rioting in which a mob
infamed by the growth of unem-
ployment and the government
economic difficulties, wrecked the
parliament building and threatened
to lynch Premier Sir Richard
Squires.
Former service men, in charge OF
officers of the Newfoundland regi-
ment, picketed public buildings and
banks and patroled the main streets
in groups of twenty-five. The police
force, which was handled roughly in
the rioting Tuesday night, was de-
tailed to regular duty this morn
ing.
The governments resignation, as
demanded by the crowd, was ex-
pected momentarily.
The mob numbered $4,000 at its
greatest strength when a parade
started from the Majestic theater
to the parliament building.
Police Attack Crowd
Resolutions protesting against
blocking of popular demand for an
investigation of the government
were being discussed there.
The parade started in an orderly
q { IL s-Ns
began when police assailed the
crowd at the parliament buildings
The government has been at
tackled by the opposition for three
weeks. Investigation of charges OF
malfeasance in public office and
misuse of public funds by the prime
minister and secretary of state had
been demanded.
The crowd threatened to take
Sir Richard to the water front and
throw him in the harbor. just as
they had threatened to throw him
out Of g. window several weeks ago
when a mob invaded his offices and
forced him to telephone orders for
an increase in unemployment re-
lief.
The Rev. Father Puppy, shielding
the prime minister from the mob
after he had been struggled out OF
the parliament buildings, stood his
ground courageously as the hostile
crowd came charging toward him
Priest Saves Premier
Father Puppy and his companions
were pushed roughly against an au-
tomobile. The priest climbed on the
running board and made a fervent
appeal that the crowd do nothing
further to harm the premier.
The crowd retreated for the
priest. He and his assistants took
Sir Richard to a nearby house. He
then escaped through rear door.
The attack on the houses of par
lament lasted two hours. When it
was finished not sound pane Of
glass was left in the buildings.
Furniture, desks, chairs, tables,
radios, everything the invaders
could lay hands on was smashed
and thrown aside or used for wea-
pons. Doors and partitions were
kicked in.
A piano was carried outside to a
nearby park. One of the rioters
sat down and played a few popu-
lar tunes. Then some one started
dancing on the. piano keys. A few
minutes later the expensive instru-
ment was wreckage.

Engineers who visited the chro-
mite field of the Hellroaring pla-
teau were satisfied, from observa-
ton of the outcroppirgs, that the
ore was of commercial value, but
did not determine las quantity. AL
tho M. E. Martin, prospector of the
field, has tunneled the layer at
various points to prove its unex-
posed thickness, financial interests
demand a more definite proof be-
fore venturing development.
"Test pitting" must be carried
on to satisfy engineers of the min
ing interests that the Beartooth
deposit is complete as its out
groupings indicate. This pilot work,
to be done in part at the ex-
pense of the community, calls for
the cooperative strength of the
people in this city.
Recent trends in the metal in
dustries have strengthened the plan
that calls for a concentration plant
near the Hellroaring deposits, a
chemical conversion plant, and pos
sibly a steel manufacturing plant
near here. The decline of copper
has set free a great amount of min
eral development strength on the
part of mining companies in this
state and elsewhere, while the in
creased use of chrome steels in in
dustry is creating a rapidly widen
ing market.
Chrome steel has become a factor
in automobile production. The most
