MOSTLY QUIET
MAY DAY IN THE AMERICAN CONTINENTS.
STREET BATTLE E OUGHT IN HAVANAMANY REPORTED INJURED. (Received Wednesday, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, May 2. In practically all large cities .in the Western Hemisphere, radical 'Labour elements observed May Day, but with the exception of a gun battle in Havana, no serious disorders were reported. In New York, Socialists and Communists held separate parades, the police keeping them apart. The Havana trouble, started when a sniper from the top of a building fired on a parade of ten thousand Communist workmen, some of whom returned the fire, whereupon troops dispersed the mob with machine-guns and gas bombs. No one is known to have been killed, but many were injured.
