4 storm of criticism, raillery and
threats of revolution disturbed the
tranquility of the Bonar Law Govern
ment at the first working session in
the House of Commons to-day. The
Labor members quickly asserted them
selves with firmness and a tone which
shocked the veterans. with the result
that there was laughter, gibes ana
jeers. with frequent cries OF order.
Interruptions, retorts and clamor
produced a radically changed aspect in
the ancient House that almost over
powered the old time members. and
the Government repeatedly was
warned that there would be no tran
quillity. 1t was the unemployment
problem that was the principal cause
of the turmoil.
"If we do not get satisfaction W.
shall have to deal with you as Crom
well dealt with his predecessors.
There is plenty Of precedent for revo-
luton In this country" dramatically
declared ]. T. w. Newbold. the Com
munist member. He came to his feet
as quickly as possible after the oppo-
sition leader, j. Ramsay Macdonald,
had rhetoricaily waved the red flag,
and presented his astonishing case
with the fearlessness of an old parlia-
mentar;an.
The tall, pale but keen-eyed follower
of the doctrine of Lenine was a subject
of curiosity and interest as he faced
the House. in his seedy, III fitting
clothes. but he quickly stirred up the
most philosophical and had to be
warned by the Speaker. He launched
his attack because. he said, the work
ers were not satisfied with the Govern
ment's attitude regarding unemploy-
n.ent.
Ready to Take Up Challenge.
IF you wish to challenge US we shall
be compelled to take up the challenge"
he said. addressing the Government
bench II say with all the gravity
can that we do not desire to take It up
II we can help It,"
He said the jobless demanded thirty
shilIings a week for a man and wife
and an amount for rent up TO fifteen
shilllngs II necessary. adding. And We
are going to get Il. II we don't get IL
inside of this chamber we shall get Il
outside of this chamber"
This was greeted with laughter by
the Government side, whereupon New
bold said You may laugh. gentlemen
of England. you may laugh to-day
gentlemen of Scotland. but we laugh
best who laugh last"
He observed that IL was the first time
an elected member OF the Communist
Internationale had stood at the foot Of
the throne, and added that It would not
be the last by a long chalk. He said
he was glad his Majesty the King was
Interested in unemployment and was
glad the Ministers were interested.
But" he added st would have been
much better II you had spent a little
less money on this tom-fool show of
yours" referring to the royal process
sion at the opening Of Parliament.
A great outburst OF order. order :"
came from the Government benches. J.
f. Hope. deputy Speaker. said: "If the
honorable member Is referring to the
ceremony at the opening OF Parliament
he will not be in order"
Newbold answered: Very well. u
they don't like my reference, I'll with
draw IL. but nothing can change the
opinion OF the Communists"
Referring to Soviet Russia he said;
II am proud TO think that / belong TO
the same movement and that l am Tal-
lied under the same flag"
Here government member shouted'
''Why don't you go there?" Whereupon
George Lansbury Jumped up and angrily
retorted, "wby should be go there? Why
don't YOU go thereY
The House threatened TO break into
an uproar. when the Speaker got or
der and appealed TO the members TO
"listen while the honorable member IN
