RICE RIOTS
MAKE JAPAN
TOKIO, August 22.—Disturbances
in the campaign against the high
price of rice continue and there have
been many clashes throughout Japan,
some of which resulted seriously.
The government has compromised
with the newspapers concerning re
ports of the disturbances and is per
mitting the publication of two official
bulletins daily.
The first bulletin on the situation
in Tokio province during the last
three days explains that separate
mobs in Tokio. varying in size from
300 to 10,000. attacked and damaged
police boxes, rice stores and geisha
houses and attacked the Selyoken
hotel and the building of the ministry
of communications and commerce.
Other buildings and automobiles and
tramways the objects of mob
anger. Police and troops eventually
dispersed the mobs. Large gather
ings were held in Tokio Friday night
but there was no rioting.
