MAY DAY CELEBRATION.
GUNFIRE AT HAVANA. NEW YORK, May 2. In practically all large cities Radical and 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. The 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.
