RIOTING STRIKERS
NEGROES IN KINGSTOWN A BRIDGE TORN DOWN KINGSTOWN (St. Vincent), October 22. (Received Oct. 23, at 5.5 p.m.) Torn by disorder, Kingstown had no communication with the rest of St. Vincent on Tuesday night, as the rioting negro strikers continued to show disdain for martial law and British marines from H.M.S. Challenger, while armed bluejackets paraded the city streets. Camden Park bridge, on the highway connecting Kingstown with the Leeward district, was torn down and telephone poles were uprooted and placed across the road. The underground passage on the highway between the capital and the Windward district "was destroyed, blocking traffic in that direction. The city has been almost deserted since Monday's looting, and hag remained quiet under an atmosphere of tension. " " Demonstrations by strikers took place just outside the capital at Byeraa Hill and Camden Park.
