Four or five thou- sand are striking in the metal and building industries, and the numbers grow hourly. The fighting today followed an at- tempt by the police in thousands to conduct a house to house search and make arrests because of the ba: ricading and defense by Communist- led workers of the protest meetings last night. Police Driven Back. The police were driven away in terror from the strongly construc- ted barricades thrown acrdéss the main streets of Neu Koelln early in the evening. They retreated to re- form their ranks and recover from their losses, stating frankly that an attempt to storm the barricades would “cost thousands of their lives.” The Communist tacticians consid- ered the stubborn resistance and vic- tories in street fighting of yester- day and the day before a sufficient warning to the capitalist govern- “ ment and social-democratic officials of Berlin that hereafter May Day demonstrations were to be allowed to meet without police brutality, and withdrew from the barricades dur- ing the night. The police provoked an instant re- newal of the battle, however, when they sought to secure victims for) prosecution in the courts.

Tt was revealed today that a scout- ing party of Red Front Fighters al-) most captured a police station yes- terday. The doors were already bat- tered in and workets were firing down the hallways when government shock troops from another part of the city came and raised the siege. Workers who were not armed used stories and bottles with such deadly aim that they often knocked the guns out of the hands of the police and troops. 4 Negroes Killed in Southern Tornadoes; ‘Homes Are Wrecked ATLANTA, Ga., May 2.—Three | Negroes in the poorer section were killed and more than a dozen whites | | Were injured in storms which swept | _ over the town last night.

Cement from tenes One) They i ed cl ly to the other, or emerg- ings from the mountain side at different heights. And in the gorges, along which ran the ruined narrow-gauge lines, strewn with boulders, and the abandoned trucks, encroached upon by dust-grey weeds, under the cliffs or upon the cliffs, little lonely houses arose here and there from out of the blue cement. Like gaily colored terraces, the quarris fell in tiers down the slope and ended in a young wood below in a valley. Far away, behind the factory, where the headlands melted in the ha istance, was the sea; and the horizon cut clearly the glassy blue, above the roofs of the works, and between the aspiring smoke-stacks. There one could see, stretching out from the town to the other side of the bay, and from the factory to the bay, two jetties, upon the extremities of which were lighthouses. And one could see the eternal half-circles of foam, rolling snowily towards the factory and the quays. e 8 @ ee as three years ago. But in those days the factory and moun- tains quivered with an internal rumbling. The roar of the ma- chinery and the electric whirring upon the mountaih side animated the factory, its great buildings, smoke-stacks and quays, as with vol- canic force. Gleb strolled along the path, looking down upon the factory and the still, stagnant valley, hardly stirred by the babble of its brooks, and felt that he himself was also growing heavy, foundering and cov- ered with dust, Was this the factory he had known in his childhood, in the fire and fury of whose life he had been reared? Where he had roamed the lanes and highways, the ground vibrating beneath his feet? And is he really Gleb Chumalov, mechanic, wearing the blue blouse—he who now walks lonely along the weed-grown path, a strange apparition whose eyes are filled with bewilderment and mournful interrogation? In the old days he used to be unshaven—wearing a curled mous- tache—his face engrained with soot and metal dust; now he was close-shaven, his skin clearer, his cheeks and nostrils chapped by the winds of the plain. Is this really he, Chumaloy, no longer smelling of soot and oil, no longer stooping from toil? Is this really he, Chumalov, the lobster, the stalwart soldier, with green helmet upon which the red star blazes, ard with the Order of the Red Flag upon his breast? | cn OMETHING fantastic has happened: mountain, uprooted from its base, had somérsatilted into the in- finite depth. He walked on, gazing at the factory and the quarries, upon the sterile smoke-stacks; then stopped, thoughtful, and murmured in a voice broken by sighs: “Damn these people! them! Shooting isn’t good enough for the scoundrels! derful factory they have ruined, the wretches!” He knew only one thing: that here was a gigantic tomb, a place of desolation and destruction; and that here was he, out of the army, with this great desolation hurting his heart. And this tomb horrified him and he knew not what to do. He went down towards the factory, down towards the empty coal- soiled courtyard, overgrown with weeds. Once, high pyramids of an- thracite tose here, shining like black diamonds. The yatd was domi- nated by a steep cliff, in yellow and brown strata, It was crumbling, and the rubble was burying the last traces of human labor. Rails in a semi-circle on its margin. Behind the parapet, 250 feet in height, the blue obelisk of a smoke-stack rushed towards the sky; and behind this, rising like a mountain, the enormous edifice of the power-station. The north- 40% i a dead planet, the factory slept in these idle days. west winds had splintered the icy windows; the mountain torrents had laid bare the iron ribs of the concrete foundations, little heaps | of worked-out cement-dust upon the ledges had again solidified. Klepka, the watchman, came by. He wore a long blouse made from an old sack, down to his knees, without a belt. Torn shoes upon his bare feet. And the old torn shoes were covered with cement, as though he had feet of cement. He grew no older, and appeared to have been here forever. He stopped for a moment, looked indiffer- ently at Gleb and then went on—a ghost from out of the past. “Hey there, you old ruin, where are you wandering to, you old carcase?”” Astonishment and fear showed in the hairy face. “Strangers are strictly forbidden to trespass here.” “Idiot! Who has the keys of the factory?” “Keys? There's no more use for them; there are no more locks, They’ve all been taken. You can go wherever you want. There’s goats in the factory... and rats... nothing but gnawing ani- mals. As for men, there aren’t any more . . . disappeared.” “Why, you’re nothing but an old rat yourself! Hiding in crevices like a crab . . . and slouching round like a loafer, you old bastard!” Klepka looked sourly at him and scratched his head, eovered with tufts of cement-tipped hair. “You, with your pointed helmet—the horn of the devil! none to blame here . . . there are no more men.” And he moved on with trailing steps, his old shoes scraping each other. A To what have they brought things, curse What a won- There’s HIGH viaduct on stone columns connected the courtyard with the main buildings of the factory. Here and there, the concrete walls * had been rudely piereed—loop-holes for machine-guns. The factory had been used by the White Guards as a stronghold. It had been turned into stables, and barracks for prisoners of war. And, in the days of the intervention, these barracks had been nightmare tombs. Now let us have a look at the interior of the factory. There were no doors; they had been torn from their hinges. Cob- webs, heavy with cement dust, fluttered like ashen rags. From the huge dark belly of the factory there breathed the stench of mildew, and air laden with the dust of old workings, The twilight quivered with the sonorous echo of desolate oblivion. The bridges, stairways, galleries, levers, pipes, transmission belts— torn down and piled in filthy rubbish heaps. Over all, the heady acrid odor of cement. The massive bulk of the furnace chimney, from which the oven door had been wrenched. The air rushed up the shaft, roaring like a waterfall, with whirlwind sweep, pushing and sucking Gleb into its moaning mouth. In former days, a cast-iron door safely stopped the roaring vent, and the chimney thunderously sucked up the glowing refuse from the pot-bellied furnaces, Gleb went down a metallically echoing staircase and walked with clanking steps by the dust-covered windows. The great tanks of the rotary furnaces dwarfed him to the stature of a doll, In the old days, their monstrous red-hot bodies revolved with a cosmic roar and howl, belching hellish flames, while below them crowded men, like agitated ants, dominated by fire. Vertical and lateral, thick pipes crawled in complex knots and spirals, like cast-iron cactus-growths, over the And here, again, the power-belts creep along the walls and cleave the air. “Swine! Dirty swine! What have they done with this great power? What a state they've brought it to!” (To be continued) An upheaval, as though the | DAILY OR NEW YORK, S.
