Macia Moves To Quell Catalonian Strike Riot
In Barcelona on September 5 Francisco Macia, veteran Catalonian patriot, led a campaign to suppress syndicalist strike riots that have left at least seven dead in Spain's largest industrial city. White guard forces were deployed to prevent further violence as Macia issued a mobilization proclamation. A conference with Governor Anguera and city officials labeled the strike unjustified. Earlier, police wounded a worker when they fired toward a truck carrying laborers near the university campus after a backfire. A soap package found in the telephone building caused a brief scare among operators before being shown harmless.
