REDS REJECTED.
FIGHT AT MEETING. While addressing a Socialist meeting at the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington, London, Mr Ramsay MacDonald, M.P., was interrupted by a small group of Communists in a 'corner of the upper balcony. Stewards tried to eject them, but the men clung to the railings. When Miss Margaret Bondfleld, M.P., began to speak the Communists returned to the attack, and a fight started in the balcony between the stewards and the interrupters. There was much noise and scuffling as the Communists, flourishing a red flag, were ejected one by one. Women shrieked, and one elderly woman seemed to fall under the feet of those who were struggling. There was an exciting tussle in the front of the balcony, and a steward and a Communist appeared to be in danger at; times as they swayed against the balustrade.
