AVOIDED REVOLUTION.
Labour Motion for Dealing With
Unemployment.
17 REMEDIES HAVE FAILED.
(Received 11.30 a.m.)
LONDON, November 4.
In the House of Commons, moving his motion "that the House views with concern the volume of unemployment and will welcome proper measures for dealing with it," Mr. G. Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, said that the dole had averted a bloody revolution in Britain.
Sir Henry Betterton, Minister of Labour, in reply, said that 17 curatives had been tried. Most of them only touched the fringe of the problem. Migration, which formerly had been 100,000 a year, had turned in the reverse direction owing to the depression in the Dominions.
He hoped the decisions at Ottawa would lead to renewed prosperity in the Dominions. He was glad to say that employment was practically stationary last year.
UNEMPLOYED MARCH.

LONDON, November 4.
All unemployed marchers concerned in the recent disturbances in London with the exception of invalids and the men arrested, are entraining for their homes to-morrow. Their fares have been paid out of collections and the railways have arranged special low rates.
