PARIS DISTURBANCES
POLICE EXERCISE TACT. GRAVE INCIDENTS AVERTED. BUFFETS WITH GLOVED HANDS. (Received noon.) PARIS, July 19. In spite of an official ban, the civil servants determined to hold a mass demonstration of protest against re-, ductions in pay, but were circumvented by 6000 mounted and foot police who were on duty. Detachments repeatedly charged the demonstrators, and 500 arrests were made. This restored order early in the evening, without any grave incident. ... The dimensions of the meeting were automatically reduced by the locking of all underground railway exits. Encounters were never more- than scuffles, the police buffeting with gloved hands, and the demonstrators retaliating with their fists.
