RIOTING IN FRANCE
ONE HUNDRED INJURED ANTI-FASCIST MOVEMENT. (By Ttleerath— Press Association—Copyright) PARIS, June .24. Widespread riots over the week-end demonstrated the increasing tension between the Fascists and anti-Fascists. The most serious clash occurred at Lorient, where 100 people were injured, including 28 police, in a six hours’ struggle between anti-Fascists and mobile guards and mounted police outside a cinema in which the Fascists were meeting. The police repeatedly and unsuccessfully charged against showers of stones and broken bottles. The firemen were called out, but the crowd trod them down and tore up the hoses. The mob, gaining the upper hand, wrecked the cinema and proceeded to smash up the locality. The police, hitting out with rille butts, eventually dispersed the mob.
