COMMUNISTS EJECTED
FIGHTING IN HAMBURG DIET. PARLIAMENTARY PARTY EXPELLED. London, December 14. The Berlin correspondent of The Times says the Hamburg Diet has performed the unusual exploit of expelling the entire Parliamentary party. The Coalition parties were particularly anxious to pass a measure before Christmas, but the Communists were determined to obstruct. A Communist orator refused to quit the tribune and the House suspended him. He then refused to quit the Chamber and two officials, amid uproar, requested him to leave. He still refused. Six other officials entered and tried to force his departure. The remaining 26 Communists attacked the officials and a free fight lasted until a police officer arrived with a strong body of police. These formed a double chain and ejected the Communists singly. All were suspended for a month.—Times Cable.
