DISORDER CAUSED.
British Official Wireless. RUGBY, April 9. Answering questions in the House of Commons regarding the recent Fascist meeting in Bristol, the Home Secretary. Sir John Gilmour, said that a large number of stewards wearing Fascist uniforms prevented an outbreak of disorder in the hall, but that afterwards four or five hundred Fascists assembled outside the hall, where a large crowd had collected, and some disorder occurred, which the police quickly suppressed. There was no doubt that that disorder was largely due to the adoption of military evolutions by the Fascists, whose general behaviour was regarded by the crowd as provocative. The Home Secretary added that the whole question of the wearing of uniforms was receiving his careful consideration.
