FIGHTING IN HAVANA
MAY DAY DEMONSTRATION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, May 2. In practically all the large cities in the Western Hemisphere Radical Labour elements observed May Day, but with the' exception of a gun battle in Havana no serious disorders were reported. In New York Socialists and Communists held separate parades, the police keeping them apart. At Havana trouble started when a sniper from the top of a building fired on a parade of 10,000 Communist workmen, some of whom returned the fire, whereupon troops dispersed the mob with machine guns and gas bombs. No one is known to have been killed, but many were injured.
