Alexandria, Aug. 14.

A special military tribunal, empowered under 'martial law to impose the death penalty by shoot- ing or hanging anyone found guilty of treason, sat here tonight trying more than 500 workers in con- nection with serious labour disorders yesterday.

Sentences will be carried out within three days, subject to confirmation by the Commander- in-Chief of the Egyptian armed forces.

Tanks and armoured cars stood guard today in the littered streets and smouldering ruins of Egypt's "little Lancashire."

A state of emergency was declared in Alexandria, though General Mohammed Naguib announced that the riot area was "under control.""

In addition to those who died, it was estimated today that 200 people were injured and 500 arrested in the riots which centred on Kafr el Dawar.
