BLOODSHED IN ITALY.
TROOPS FIRE ON CROWD.
£Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] ROME, June 10.
Signor Nitti’s resignation evoked a general strike in Apulia, followed by clashes between the crowd and the troops. The latter fired volleys, and wounded fifty people. The public set - vices are paralysed, and troops are patrolling the streets with machineguns. The strike has extended over the whole province. Agricultural strikers at Treviso held up trains and forced landowners to sign a contract. The last sitting of the Chamber of Deputies before Signor Nitti resigned ended in a free fight between the Right Deputies and the Socialists.
