UNRULY MOB
COMMUNIST OUTBREAK IN CHICAGO THREE NEGROES KILLED Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. CHICAGO, August 3. In a clash between police and a mob of 5,000, led by Communists, three negroes were fatally shot while several others were seriously wounded. The trouble naa precipitated when Communists, objecting to the eviction of a woman, started moving the furniture back into the home. Detectives arrested the Communists, and a spirit of anarchy was then shown. Masses swept forward against the detectives, who summoned police reserves. Some of those in the crowd used revolvers, knives, and razors. Eventually the police, using chibs and pistols, forced the mob to retreat, leaving behind them three negroes, who were killed.
