(Received July 25, 5.5 p.m.) . LONDON, July 26. Scenes at the Labor Congress held at Lille were unparalleled-. The Congress was held in an immense winter garden under a glass roof. There was an affray by certain Bolshevik extremists trying to eject a moderate- named Donoulin from the Tribune. Moderates rushed to protect their comrade, and the whole Congress thereupon was transformed into a seething mass of struggling perspiring, humanity resembling an enormous football scrimmage in front of the Tribune. Monmousseau, a giant, knocked out the Secretary of tlie Parisian Federation and used his fists and feet against the Moderates. nearby. Monmousseau’s supporters then seized the iron chairs and hurled them intq the ranks’ of the Moderate defenders. Half a dozen revolver shots were fired, and four fighting delegates fell wounded. —A. and N.Z.C.A.
