Unemployed marchers caused a disturbance in the House of Commons in tho middle of the debate on the Russirm Agreement. In a thin House a mau rose in the public gallery and shouted: "The hunger marchers must be received here."

Then a woman rose; in the ladies' gallery and shrieked: "Down with the Government!" The male disturbers were so well distributed among the public that it took some time for the attendants to reach and eject them. Several struggled so violently that they had almost to be carried out. Others shouted: "We'have waited patiently and are now fed up with Constitutionalism. If we are not received at the Bar of the House, we go-back to the country to rouse the people."
