WEARING OF UNIFORMS. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 0.30 a.m.) LONDON, January 26. Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Fascist party, attended a meeting at Hornsey last eveningwearing a black shirt "as a challenge to the Government to do its worst."
• He said the police were taking names and threatening to prosecute obscure members of the Fascist movement under the recent Act prohibiting the wearing of political uniforms.
"My challenge to the Government," said Sir Oswald, "is that the police should not persecute an ordinary working man for wearing a black shirt and leave me unmolested. 1 have been wearing a black shirt since January 1. I desire to force a test case to ascertain the real meaning of the Act."
