SENSATIONAL STRIKE OUTRAGE
AN INFURIATED BAND. WOMEN AND POLICEMEN WOUNDED. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 2lst March. A sensational strike outrage has occurred at Clichy, a, suburb of Paris. The trouble arose in connection with a strike at a paper factory. A band i of 200 strikers became infuriated by the refusal of fifty ot their comrades, chiefly women and girls, to cease work with the others, and lay in wait for the non-strikers until dark. The strikers then fired a volley of revolver shots at the non-strikers, who , took refuge in a cafe, which the strikers j bombarded with revolvers and stones, until the police arrived. j Several women and two policemen were wounded. { The assailants extinguished the street lamps, and escaped irt the darkness. Women were chiefly responsible for the attack, and treated the non-strikers with savage violence. A series of similar murderous attacks have been made on non-strikers in various provincial distiicts during the week.
