Millions of primroses were worn in the buttonholes of 10,000 membep of the Prime League attending a demonsration in the Albert Hall. Mr Baldwin, the grand master, emphasised _ the necessity of the Trades Union Bill, and said: “ During the debate I barm been buoyed up by the thought that, however tiring it might be to those present, it was worth untold votes throughout tile country. I believe that prolongation will secure further support. 1 would have told Mr Clynes so when I refused an extension, but it would have been called provocative.”

Mr Churchill declared that the Empire had survived one of the fiercest storms that had ever beaten the globe, whereby it had been unified and consolidate! and become more renowned than over. The Socialists were now challenging the citizens’ freedom, resulting in a struggle likely to occupy the remainder of their lives. It was necessary to preserve the interests of the Commonwealth and the unity of the Empire; accordingly the whittling down or the main principles of the Trades Union Bill was impossible.
