MEAT SUPPLIES FROM ABROAD
By Tele*r»ph.— Association.—Copyright (Received September 4, 11.60 p.m.)
Paris, September 4. Emissaries of the General Confederation of Labour participated in the free food riots.
The worst outrages occurred at St. Quentin. • ' ' Six regiments are now quartered there, including the Cuirassiers, who were at Epernay during the champagne riots, and Chasseurs from the Rouen, and detachments of artillery.
The Mayors of several neighbouring towns are buying bullocks, slaughtering them, and selling the meat, at a reasonable price.
Evidence before the commission of inquiry shows that the rapidlyincreasing exportation of cattle is largely responsible for the dearness of meat. ' Consumers ■ advocate the unrestricted importation of colonial supplies, and suggest the free importation of a limited number of cattle from Nigeria and Madagascar.
Fresh rioting has occurred in several towns.
M. * Caillaux (Minister for the Interior) has ordered more stringent measures against professional agitators discovered in the disturbed areas. .
