THE LEEDS STRIKE.
MOB DISPERSED BY SOLDIERS. (l)T KLEOTKIC TELEGRAPH. —COPYRIGHT.) London, .July 3. In consequence of the gas strike Leeds is iu darkness at night. The strikers have assumed a menacing attitude. The Mayor was prepared to read the Eiot Act to the strikers. The mob fired several pistol shots, but wore dispersed by the soldiors. JulyS Leeds is entirely without gas, and in consequence the factories are at a standstill and thousands arc idle. The disturbance is now confined to wordy abuse, and no violence is used. The blacklegs are going over to the side of the strikers, and the settlement of the quarrel is probable.
