LABOR RIOTS IN AMERICA.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright, (redter’s telegrams.) New Yoke, May 6. The labor riots continue to spread through the country, the latest outbreak having occurred at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a large number of men assembled and proceeded to threaten life and to destroy property, until the State Militia was called out, when a collision took place between the troops and the rioters. The Militia then fired upon the crowd, killing and wounding a large number of persons. The authorities are taking vigorous measures against the Socialist agitation in the United States. The entire staff of a German Socialist newspaper published in Chicago have been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the recent riots in that city. (special to united pbees association.) London, May 6. During the riots in Chicago twelve policemen were killed, and 100 anarchists disabled.
