BOOS FOR TWENTY MINUTES CAUSE A SCENE ON ’CHANGE.
MOST DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR ON RECORD, SAY OBSERVERS. INTERFERENCE WITH GOLF GAMES ROUSES MEMBERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 25, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 24. There was an unparalleled scene on the London Stock Exchange, when Sir Charles Pulley, an elderly member, was booed for twenty minutes because he had suggested in a newspaper that members should work on Saturday mornings instead of golfing. When Sir Charles arrived members ceased work and started booing and jeering. A couple, who attempted to protest, had to make a hurried exit in order to have threatened attacks on them. 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, when European Exchanges were open.
