fire was opened on the mob at3:40
o'clock and lasted five minutes. It was
most severe around the west portal of
tho building. Later tho correspondent
of tho Associated Press counted at least
twenty men lying In the outskirts of the
Tlergnrton apparently wounded. Whon
tho troops began firing the crowd" ran
pell moll In all directions.
Provocation for firing upon the crowd
was furnished by Its nttempt to storm
the west entrance of the building. A
score of men attacked, several guards
and wrenched their rlflea away from
them Just as soldiers rushed up and
then general firing began. When the
mob ran Into tho street fronting the
south sldo of tho edifice Boldlcrs sta
tioned thoro suspected they would bo
nttacked and Immediately opened a
fuslllada. Six slightly wounded civilians
were carried Into tho Itelchstng build
lug, a dozen others were transferred to
,ho fcus.nl tiouso near the Brandenburg
Tate nnd a number were carried off by
members of tho Sanltury Corps.
Immediately on the opening of the
V-Bslon of tho National Assembly Herr
Geyer, who aucceeded Hugo llama as
the floor leader of the Independent So
cialists, entered his party's protest
against tho presence of, armed forces
In tho Uelchstag. Ho charged that mil
itary protection was there with the con
went of tho President of tho Chamber.
Herr Fohronbaoh, President of the
Chamber, denied this. Ho declared that
on IiIh arrival In the Ilelchstug building
the director Informed him that the Gov
ernment hod provided protection for the
legislators,
Herr Henko, one of tho most radical
of the Independent members, supported
Herr Goyer's protest and declared that
the Government's notion In providing tho
militaristic environment was "In oppo
sition to tho spirit of real democracy."
Thla remark brought forth ridicule from
the other parties.
The Assembly then entered upon the
second reading of tho Shop Councils
measure and the mombers were listen
ing to tho commission's report when
tho first shotB wore heard. Tho Inde
pendents left the chnmtwr but returned
n few minutes later, led by the re
doubtable Frau Louise Zeltz, who was
prominent In the German naval mutiny
In Wllhelmshaven In 1917. Tho radi
cals forthwith charged that they had
observed how the orders to shoot wero
given by the officers.
Pandemonium Immediately broko
loose. President EEhrenbach tolled the
bell In vnln for order. He then ad
journed the session for forty-five min
utes. Tho chamber was emptied Im
mediately, deputies flocking Into the
lounging room nnd corridors.
Ileurnn to Fllllxuter.
When the session wus resumed the In
dependents at once began filibustering
methods In efforts to have the debate
rhut off. Herren Ocyor, Duevel und
Lauknng led thd attack, which Pres'dent
Fehrenback tolerated for n few minutes,
nftor which ho warned tho Insurgents
that they would be forcibly removed
from tho chamber If they continued.
Ills admonition was unheeded, und Herr
Fehronback closed tho, session tempo
rnrly nnd announced that tho three' In
dependents would be barred from tho
sitting during the rest of tho proceed
ings. Meanwhile the extent of the casual
ties bocamo known, and Herr Fehren
back, with much solemnity, recom
mended an adjournment of tho Assembly
until Wednesday, delarlng that the pre
vailing atmosphere was not ondulve to
aim deliberations.
The Natlonnl Assembly made no prog
ress to-day In Its discussion of the work
men's council bill, and It Is not Improb
able that tho commission's draft, which
made n patch work of the original Gov
ernment proposal," will undergo still
further modifications, as even the Gov
ernment parties are not united on
thb essential features, notwithstanding
weeks of committee discussion.
OutBlde of Premier Bauer nnd Minister
flf Defence- Noske virtually tho entire
Cabinet wns present at tho session of
the Assembly, Noske went Into coniiul
tatlon with his staff Immediately after
the report of the clash between tho
populace and the troops reached him.
To-night Noske's troops threw a rllle
nnd barbed wire cordon throughout tho
downtown Btreets. The Reichstag
squaro got a reenforced patrol. The
WIlhelmstraBse was barred to all tralllc
nnd tho Government building was vir
tually Inaccessible except to those em
ployed there.
Independent Socialist leaders threaten
to contlnuo demonstrations whenever the
Industrial Council's bill Is up for debate,
nnd It Is expected the climax will bo
reached on Thursday, which Is the anni
versary of tho deaths of Dr. Karl LUb
knecht and Rosa Luxemburg.
