MELBOUBNE, This Day.
While a dance was being held in the Friends of the Soviet Hall, a fusillade of rifle bullets was fired. The bulleti riddled the windows and walls of the .building but no, one was hurt.
The attack is believed to have been made by a mob of larrikins as a: reprisal for the ejection of flv.e of their number from the dance earlier in the night. Twenty young men, armed with rifles and pickets were seen on the other side of the street. .Stones and pickets were also hurled through- the windows.; The dancers prevented a rush on tie building by bolting the doors. Three large plate glass windows in a shop below were pierced, by bullets. ■••■"■•"■ ■ v ' .
