FACTION FIGHTS.

EAST END CLASHES. Labour Conference Condemns Government. MILITARISED POLITICS. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 5. The Labour conference at Edinburgh carried a resolution deploring yesterday's events in the East End of London and condemning the Government for not banning the Fascist march. It also demanded prohibition of political uniforms and militarised politics. The London Hospital, as a result of the clashes in Royal Mint Street, where Fascists were mustering, treated 20 people for bruises, including two girls who were trodden down, and two Fascists. The police made many baton charges. The most serious fracas, however, occurred in Cable Street, where a crowd, thinking the Fascists would pass that way, took a lorry from yi builder's yard and started building a barricade. The police here charged a dozen times, and were received with showers of bricks and stones. MEETING CANCELLED. t FASCISTS CHANGE PLANS. (Received 12 noon.) LONDON, October 5. Following communication with the police a Fascist meeting at Bow, East London, was cancelled a few minutes before it was due to start. Fascists marched to another meeting at Betlinal Green.
