Toulon, Aug. 8.
Three persons have been killed and 50 wounded in clashes here between police and strikers, following riots instigated by dock labourers, naval munition plant workers and others, in protest against the economy pay cuts instituted by the Laval Government.
The situation is admittedly becoming very serious. Shots were exchanged between police and rioters on several occasions and already 100 men have been arrested.
At Brest, where the first riots broke out two days ago, there has been further trouble. Mobile guards, armed with rifles, were ordered to charge a procession of extremists. They broke up the line of march but precipitated a riot in which several were injured. No shots were fired.
