The fight started over remarks made to a policeman who directed tear bombs at a mob that stoned street cars last night near a mass meeting of union sympathizers. The policeman fired several shots in the corridor’s floor during the height of the disturbance and a boy bystander was hit in the foot. Members of the council were jost- led about in the melee and furnished targets for fist blows. Police reserves were called and re- stored order. None of the commissioners was se- riously hurt. Acting Mayor Walms- Jey was struck by a blow in the abdo- men. Commissioners Paul B. Habans and W. T. Hall were struck before Police could rescue them from the crowd of men and women. During the pandemonium of shouts, boos, fists flying and shots in the building a dozen policemen were assaulted by the mob. Captain Henry Nelson of the police department, was set upon and stamped and beaten about the head before other officers could stop the mob action. At that point, with the city com- missioners safely in their offices, detective Fred Williams jumped on @ counter in the corridor with leveled guns and succeeded in quieting down the enraged crowd for a time. Miss Ida Glefers, a school teacher, mounted a platform and addressea the rioters in a calm voice and per- suaded many to leave the building. Rioting then was resumed on the outside and a cordon of police with shotguns and pistols held off the second assault winds and low humidity today aided | radio manufacturers and estimated on the building. old and slumbering forest fires to flame into renewed activity.

Dr. Eckener has not yet made pub- lic decision to abandon a start to- night, however, indicating he would await further weather reports to- day from the Soviet meteorologists | before deciding definitely. There} was possibility he would arrange a; far southern route across Russia which would evade the bad weather area. In that case he might start tonight anyway.
