DISPUTE ABOUT FIRE TRIAL
demonstration by communists. CLASHES IN STREETS OF LONDON. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Dec. 17. Two hundred East End Communists, including women and children, marched to the German Embassy to protest against the Reichstag fire trial. They charged through the police cordon. Reinforcements made a baton charge and scattered the demonstrators, several of whom were arrested. A minor clash in Regent Street resulted in the arrest of a bearer of the Red Flag. Eventually Mr. Alan Thomas, secretary of the International Labour Defence, accompanied by a colleague, was permitted to enter the Embassy alone and lodge the petition, but was not allowed to see the Ambassador. Subsequently Black Shirts and Communists clashed in Trafalgar Square. Mounted police dispersed the crowd.
