POLICE OPEN FIRE.
Volley into Groups of Miners and Their Wives. STAY-IN DEMONSTRATION. (Received 11 a.m.) BUDAPEST, February 24. Gendarmes killed two people and wounded three when they fired a volley into a group of miners and women demonstrating in support of a stay-in mine strike at Funfkirchen. Officials declare that the gendarmes fired in selfprotection when they were attacked by miners and their wives, who declared that they had no money or food. While the strikers, numbering 400, remain below, where they ignore the underground telephone warnings, that the pumps are out of action, the workings are slowly flooding and there is a risk of fire-damp explosion. Lamps have become exhausted and pit ponies have not been fed.
