‘Clashes In China’
(N.Z.P. A. -Reuter—Copyright) TOKYO, Jan. 29. Subway workers armed with picks and shovels attacked factory hands distributing Maoist leaflets at Peking railway station and grabbed weapons from an army barracks after soldiers intervened, the Japanese news agency, Kyodo, said today. The agency’s correspondent in the Chinese capital said the Peking revolutionary committee’s newspaper, “Jihpao,” put out a special two-page edition yesterday reporting the clashes in which 40 factory workers were beaten up and 32 soldiers were injured. Workers from a spinning factory were distributing leaflets printed with the thoughts of Mao Tse-tung at the station on Thursday when the subway construction workers intervened, according to the report. The subway men pretended to be officials inspecting tickets but instead assaulted passengers and hurled firecrackers at soldiers when they were called in.
