London, May 10. Serious disorders occurred da Glasgow during the week-end,...

Many shops were looted on Saturday morning, and conflicts with the police occurred in the eastern district, particularly at Bridgeton, which necessitated rushing up strong reinforcements.

The struggle was extremely wild, pots and pans, iron bars, pick heads and hammers being used. Fortunately none of the police were injured. Sixty arrests were effected,

Looting was renewed in the evening in the now south and wast areas. Bootshops suffered most. The police and specials were hotly engaged until early on Sunday morning, many baton charges being made. There were seventy-two

arrests.
