Members of the mobs were arni- ed the police were fired upon and replied to the fire. It was the free use of weapons as the result of this grave incident that finnlly-en- abted the police to gain control of the situation.

The peril is not, Lowever, by any Beans over. The whole city is in a ferment. The rioters, consisting chiefly of unemployed, with paid agitators probably in the back. ground, are in an ugly mood and the return of daylight is being awaited by the authorities with no little apprehension.

Man Shot Dead.

One man was shot send in the course of the rioting. Three mem bers of the police force are among those sent to hospital as a result of the fighting in the streets.

Although the unemployment riots were the most serious demonstration

Soon afterwards, the first in cident developed into a regular orgy of looting and rioting which lasted all day lone, winding up with in. cendiariat attempts.

Dissatisfaction with the rates paid to men employed on special relief schemes by the City authori ties is the real origin of the trouble. Demonstrations began early in the morning. The authorities re- plied with the issue of a warning and the mobilising, of hundreds of police, armed with batons, and re- volvers.
