POLICE RESCUE REDS.
Crowd Vents its Anger on Communists. THROWN INTO THE RIVER. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received November 24, 9.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, November 24. A wrathful crowd, 400 strong, made three attempts at Armidale to throw Communists into the creek, but on each occasion their prey was rescued by the police. One Red was roughly handled. Failing to find any more Communists in the streets, the angry crowd conducted a hunt at a boardinghouse, but discovered that those whom they were seeking had left. The town is seething with excitement, and the aQtion of the citizens has left no doubt as to the treatment which visiting Communists will receive.
