The trouble began with a clash between unemployed and police at the conclusion of a procession of civil ser- vants who were demonstrating against the cuts in salary which were recently ordered.
FIERCE RIOTING AND LOOTING.
The spark which set the conflagration going was apparently resentment among the unemployed. In flash almost, fierce rioting broke out, quickly develop ing into a wholesale outbreak of window-smashing and looting.

No country appears to be immune from unemployed riots in these troublous times. The above picture was taken in London a week or two ago and shows polles charging an unruly crowd of demonstrators. Over forty were injured.

(Reuter's Special Service).
London, Apr. 14. A record crowd of at least 100,- 000 is expected at Hampden Park on Saturday to witness the Scot- tish Cup Final between the all- conquering Glasgow Rangers and Kilmarnock.
They meet in a great rubber match and the Rangers, who have a long brilliant Cup record and are playing in their sixteenth final to Kilmarnock's fourth, are naturally strong favourites.
Their task is, however, by no means an easy one." No team knows better than the Rangers how fickle Cup fortunes can be and It may be taken for granted that Kilmarnock, who beat the Rangers 2-0 in the Final of 1928-29, will not be intimidated by the size of their task.
