Tulsa killings and riots shock nation amid prep for naval bill
Riots in Tulsa, Oklahoma leave at least thirty dead and over a million in damage after clashes between whites and blacks following an alleged assault. National Guard restored order as rail and police efforts protected business districts. Government actions include a Senate vote approving the naval appropriation bill totaling 494 million dollars and a 12 percent wage cut for railroad workers slated to begin July 1. Memorial Day observances span the U S and allied nations with President Harding urging world stabilization and leadership.
