GLASGOW UNEMPLOYED.
A MIDNIGHT PROCESSION.
CHARGED BY THE POLICE.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. London, September 10. The Glasgow unemployed, continuing their policy of midnight processions in the wealthy quarters of the town, held a meeting in St. George's Square at twelve o'clock last night.
Many inflammatory speeches were made, and the police accordingly dispersed the gathering.
Three thousand men, however, reassembled after the departure of the police, and forming into a procession started to march to the Lord Provost's house.
When the procession was a quarter of a mile from its destination a squad of mounted police suddenly charged, and scattered the mob in all directions.
Batons were freely used, and many heads were broken.
