MAY DAY IN HAVANA.
GUN BATTLE TAKES PLACE. NEW YORK, May 2. In practically all the large cities in the Western Hemisphere, radical Labour elements observed May Day. With the exception of a gun battle in Havana, Cuba, no serious disorders are reported. In New York Socialists and Communists held separate parades, the police keeping them apart. The trouble in Havana started when a sniper from the top of a building fired on a parade of 10,000 Communist workmen, some of whom returned the lire. Thereupon troops dispersed the mob with machine-guns and gas bombs. I Many people were injured.
