hymns or make religious addresses. Some
anxiety was caused early In the celebration
by the avowed intention OF the leaders OF the
unemployed to bring q mob up the hill. seize
the front steps. and sing there " Tho Starving
Poor OF old England"
The police were drawn up In force at tho
foot OF the steps and about 300 reserves were
in the cathedral crypt. As the new clock in
tho southwest tower ohined midnight there
broke loose a pandemonium OF yells. Whistles;
cheers, Aud Lang Syne." Rule Britannia"

hundred other songs.
In the din a group OF the unemployed made
rushes for the steps. The crowd behind con-
tinued singing and cheering. AS the groups
pushed UP against the police lines their set
seemed to be successful, and tho police were
reported TO have orok en- ranks. After strug-

from the cathedral with their batons drawn.
The struggle at the foot OF the steps ceased

parsed. continuing the choruses as the people
