Description (anglais) : Home Rule demo ends in fighting across Glasgow. Procession blocked by Orange men and women at Old Cross Steeple. No unrest though. Service held for the 4-5,000 processionists -- all peaceful. Returning home there was unrest on Oakbank street (where Orange lodge is, Orange area in general). Stones thrown at Orange flags up in windows. Free fight ensued. Pub window smashed. Processionists armed with short batons and flag poles, fought police charge. Some prisoners taken but quickly rescued by mob. Bridgeton and East End in unrest all night: mob waiting 7-8pm for return of Home Rulers, once they returned instantly attacked them, lasted till 11pm, using palling as weapon. Belshill: another riot at night, pistol and pikes used, serious injuries, female Orange tore green sash from a home ruler, they then attacked the Orangemen. Processionists then went on to Coatbridge: Motherwell Orangemen went to help defend it, party fights throughout the night but none that serious thanks to large police presence.
