Osaka, June 10.
A serious collision between the striking employees of the Fujinagata Dockyard and the police resulted yesterday afternoon, when 500 of the latter charged into a meeting of 2,000 strikers and demanded their dispersal.
The police knocked some of the strikers down, whereupon the entire mob set upon the police, using sticks, stones and fists.
Many Were injured on both sides.
Four of the strikers were arrested and taken to Sumiyoshi Gaol. The crowd followed and demanded the release of the prisoners. The police refused and the crowd charged the gaol, smashing windows and doing considerable other damage; but did not succeed in freeing their comrades.
The Yuaikai is circularizing the Fujinagata and other workers to fight to the last ditch. The situation is becoming more serious.—Reuter.
