Sunday, July 27, 1930


Germany:

Chemnitz: Communists attack a hall where nazis are meeting, injuring three nazis and the police commissioner of the town.
 
Berlin: Communists, nazis and police battle in the streets in several parts of the city, with 100 communists arrested.  Meanwhile, new economic reports show unemployment among laborers increased by 16,000 over the first half of July, and continued depression in the cotton industry -- nearly 1 in 6 spindles in the Rhenish cotton district are idle.  Total unemployment is now at 2.7 million, up 125% from a year ago.

Paris:  Police arrest 61 Spanish anarchists and other agitators on the banks of the River Seine near the suburb of Villeneuve-Saint Georges.  They are holding a meeting of an organization known as The Federation of the Spanish Tongue, reportedly discussing ways to stir up unrest in Spain.  Five of the arrested turn out to be people already expelled from France, and police seize a large quantity of anarchist literature.
