INFURIATED STRIKERS.
FREE LABOURERS FIRED ON.
WOMEN SAVAGELY ASSAULTED
PARIS, March 21. Two hundred strikers in a paper factory at Clichy, France, infuriated by the refusal of 50 of their comrades, chiefly women and girls, to cease work, lay ii wait until dark and fired a volley of revolver shots at them. The non-strikers took refuge in a cafe, which the strikers bombarded with stones and occasional revolver fire until the police arrived. Several women and two policemen were wounded. The assailants, when the police came, extinguished the street lamps, and by this means made their escape. Women were chiefly responsible for the attack, and treated the non-strikers with savage violence. A series of similar murderous attacks was made on non-strikers in various provincial districts during the week.
