WORK OR GOLF?
STOCK EXCHANGE MEMBERS
DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN LONDON,
(Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, November 24. There was an unparalleled scene on the London Stock Exchange, when Sir Charles Pulley, an elderly member, was booed for 20 minutes because he had suggested in a newspaper that members should work on Saturday mornings instead of golfing. When Sir Charles Pulley arrived the members ceased w'ork and started booing and jeering. Two, who attempted to protest, had to make a hurried exit in order to save themselves from threatened attacks. Sir Charles Pulley went home upset. The scene is described as the most disgraceful on record. Sir Charles Pulley, in a subsequent statement, said that it was ridiculous that the Stock Exchange should close on Saturday in time of national stress, wheil Europoan exchanges were open.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
