RIOTING IN BELFAST
SKIRMISHES CONTINUE MORE RELIEF DEMANDED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received October 13, 2 p.m.) BELFAST, Oct. 12. There were skirmishes with police throughout tbe day in some back streets. Tbe rioters employed children to dig up cobblestones, which they used as ammunition against the police, a number of whom were taken to hospital with bad bruises and cuts from bottles.
Mr. Devlin states that 12,000 people in Belfast have been brought to starvation owing to inadequate outdoor relief. "A husband, bis wife, and two children only receive 16s a week,” he said. ‘'When rent, coal, gas, burial, and insurance are paid, only 4d a day is left for food and clothing.” Representatives of tbo rioters demand outdoor relief on the British scale. Tbe Government and poor law authorities already are conferring regarding the problem.
