MORE DISTURBERS
UNEMPLOYED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS (Australian Press Assn.- —United Servlce.i London, February 28. Twenty of the unemployed who took part in the march to London, headed by a well-known Communist, called at Downing Street, and attempted to see Mr. Baldwin.' On being refused they went to Parliament, and spent an hour or two in the Central Hall. ' They sent in cards to various members of the Labour Party who came out and chatted with them.
Before leaving the unemployed concertedly began singing the “Red Flag,” rendering themselves liable to ejection for creating a disturbance. The police were not altogether surprised, and approached the disturbers in force. They unceremoniously led the men, who did not offer serious resistance, to the door, but did not use force nor make arrests.
In consequence of the incident following last night’s scene stricter rules are being enforced. Visitors have to send in cards at the main entrance, and are not permitted the usual privilege of going straight to the Central Hall.
