Belfast, June 14.—Rioting, accom- panied by heavy revolver and rifle firing was newed in the Clifton street area early today. In authoritative circles it was asserted that the riot- ing was organized by republicans to prevent the visit of King George on June 22 for the purpose of attending the state opening of the Ulster par- llament. Business men going to the center of the city from the suburbs found themselves in the midst of a riot in Clifton street. The center of the disorder was adjacent to the Ulster military headquarters which is flanked by North Queen street and the Car- rick hill republican areas. Denizens of these districts waited for shipyard workers and opened fire. Staild tophatted merchants dodged about amid flying bullets, and one newspaperman had a narrow escape, ag a lamp post behind which he had solight shelter was struck by bullets. Stenographers fled screaming from the battle zone and tramcars with their passengers lying flat on the floors dashed past at record speed. Police were hurried from the near- by barracks but the rioting continued although at a subdued pace. North street, joining Royal avenue with the Shankhill district was swept by bul- lets from Carrick hill and Millfield. Several thousand shipyard workers are reported to have been kept from their posts. Rioting broke out in the Falls divi- sion of the city agan at noon. The police fired a number of shots into the crowd. Five persons were taken to hospitals suffering from bullet wounds one of whom was a girl said to have been critically wounded $0.

Boston, June 14.— papers in this city were published in every notwithstanding a walkout of compositors that continued a movement begun in morning newspa- per offices last night. Papers were of varying , most them reduced from normal. The action of the men was declared to be unauthorized by Sylvester J. Mc- Bride, president of the local typograph- ical union. He said: Action Termed lllegal. ““There is no question but that the action of the compositors in walking out was illegal. Unquestionably the inter- | national and local unions will compel | them to return to work and live up to, their contract. The compositors arc| very much incensed over the decision ot the arbitration board and the necessary | delay taken by it in reaching its find- | ings, covering a period of eight months. | The board paid no attention to the transcript of evidence and went outside of it in making its findings.” The afternoon newspapers today printed the statement given out by the publishers last night. That statement termed the strike as unwarranted and illegal and in violation of an agreement with the international typographical union which provides that there shall be no strikes or lockouts under any con- sideration. No Wage Increases. The publishers explained that a local arbittation board consisting of two representatives each of the publishers and the union with Prof. Ges e F.

Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa will vigorously oppose the payment by the City of New Britain of bills sent in by Lawyers Noble Pierce and Louis Sperry for $50 and $250 respectively, when the matter comes before. the common council tomorrow evening. Lawyer Pierce acted as assistant to Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk- ham in the Goodrich hearings, while the Sperry bill is for legal services rendered in the hearing on the in- | Junction suit brought by the New | Britain Taxpayers' association. ’ “If Judge John H. Kirkham is g0~ ing to accept a salary as corporation counsel for the city of New Britain,’ f\lderx)1<ln Paonessa said this morning in announcing his intention of oppos- ing payment of the bills, “he should be capable of defending the city in ordinary suits. In the Goodrich case, the outside attorney was hired by Dr. J. R. Harris for his own protec- tion. He should be made to stand the expense or if he does not, Judge Kirkham, who signed the bill as 0. K. should stand back of it. The Tax- payers’ injunction hearing did not warrant the hiring of extra attorneys as everyone knew the city was going to win out, and Judge Kirkham should have been able to kandle the matter.” Asked what course of action he (\vould recommend, Alderman Paon- essa said he would ask to have the matter referred to the mayor The alderman stated that while he had not made a practice of announcing beforehand, his intended action at council meetings, he felt that the im- portance of this matter make such ac- tion advisable. Tue council members will.have an opportunity to learn the sentiment of their constituents, he ex- plained. The alderman argued that if the city is to pay the Sperry hill, the bill sent the Taxpayers’ association by Judge Joseph Tuttle should also be paid. Both factions, he said, were working toward one end, which was the settlement of tax-rate difficulties and the city should have sufficient legal protection in the corporation counsel. Alderman Paonessa explained that he was cognizant of the fact that the charter provides that the corporation counsel may engage an assistant in the trial of cases concerning the city. This, he said, would be applicable only in the,injunction matter since Dr. Harris’ interests, only, were be- ing protected in the other matter. He feels the importance of the injunc- tion suit did not warrant hiring extra attorneys.
