They were augmented by citizens infuriated by the shootings ‘Tuesday. Joining in the opposition, the French federation of labor called a 24-hour: general strike of protest starting Monday. The Communists and street hood- lums, running wild Wednesday night, destroyed property right and left. They blocked the railroad station at Saint Lazare, building the tradi- tional revolutionary barricades. Streets Are Blocked Finally, the mob seized two omni- buses and ten private cars. These they used to block the street. When police broke through they fled into the Tuileries gardens. A pitched battle ensued among the ‘trees. Pistols blazed and dropped on both sides. One group of rioters broke into a gunsmith’s shop. They carried away guns and ammunition. Hundreds of pistol shots were fired in fighting along the main boulevards between the opera and the old Made- Jeine church. Police insisted the shots were fired by rioters, but slugs flew in both di- rections. At least 10 civilians suffer- ed bullet wounds. Wednesday night's riots started in the Place De La Concorde but little damage was done there. Then they spread to the Elysee palace, As rioting spread beyond this re- gion, scene of Tuesday night's bitter- est battling, 2,000 persons tried to rush the gates of the presidential home. They were beaten back after fierce several men fighting. ‘Then the boulevards were invaded and a four-hour sporadic battle raged on the wide boulevard Des Capucines and nearby streets.
