BRITISH SOLDIERS
RIOT IN LONDON
March on Commons and Palace
of the King.
MEN ARE IDLE; DEMAND WORK
Hold Huge Meeting in Hyde Park
Similar Demonstrations Reported
Throughout England, Scotland
and Ireland.

London, May 27.-Thousands of dis
charged soldiers and sailors out of en-
ployment, armed with stones and other
missiles, marched toward the house
of commons. They came into conflict
with the police barring the approaches,
however, and were scattered.
Later the procession was reformed
and marched toward buckingham pal
ace, the royal residence, but the dem
onstration broke up before it reached
the palace. There were no further
disorders.
The demonstration followed a big
meeting held during the afternoon in
Hyde park, where the discharged sol
diers and sailors demanded work and
minimum wage scale.
Similar demonstrations were held
throughout the country during the
day.
Big Union Defied.
A great triple alliance of railway
men, coal miners and transport work
ers-including a million and half
men-has prepared an ultimatum to
the government and has been defied
by Bonar Law. The unions demand
immediate abolition of CONSUMPTION,
withdrawal of all troops from Russia,
immediate lifting Of the blockade
against Germany, release of all con-
scientious DIRECTORS now in prison and
raising exemption from the income tax
to 81 200 The demand is accompanied
by a poorly yelled threat to call a
general strike TO enforce it.
Government Refuses Demands.
AS leader of the house of commons,
Bonar Law has declared that the re-
quest could not be granted and that
the government would use all powers
of the state If an attempt was made
to forcibly challenge its authority. The
executive committee of the triple al
lance is meeting to consider what
steps are to be taken and call for Il
general strike within the next few
weeks is not improbable.
That the government regards the
situation as unusually serious is shown
by the fact that Sir Robert Horne,
minister of labor, has flown over to
Paris to discuss it with Lloyd George.
The danger is made more real and
immediate by the action of the nation
al union of police, covering the whole
of England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales.
All Police Threaten Strike.
A secret ballot, entirely without the
knowledge of the government, has
been taken, as a result of which the
police all over the United Kingdom
will go on strike on June ., unless
meanwhile the government grants the
demands of the police union. The po-
lice demand recognition of their union,
immediate increase in wages-which
are now really shamefully low-and
reinstatement of certain discharged
constables.
The police ultimatum will be pre-
sented 70 the government on Friday,
TO make their threats more danger
Gus the police union has secured n
promise of he executive committee of
the great triple alliance to support
them in whatever steps they may. de-
eide to take.
Meanwhile the more radical and
even revolutionary elements continue
their agitation. At a large open-air
meeting, held Sunday afternoon in
Trafalgar Square In the heart Of
London, Tom Mann and Sylvia Pank-
hurst openly advocated immediate rev.
