London, Nov. 81. (By the Associated

ready decided that the new House Of
Commons will be livelier than its
predecessors and that the opposition.
which will apparently be furnished by
the laborites will be keener and more
aggressive.
Discussing incidents and scenes at
tendant upon the opening Of the ses
sion yesterday, the correspondents call
attention he challenging spirit which
the radical laborities from the Clyde
district seem to have brought with
them. The ejaculation "We will smash
all this" shouted in broad Scottish ac-
cent by one of the labor members at
the conclusion of the time honored
ceremonies, is considered significant.
These laborities are described by
some writer's as grim, stern, set men
to whom the Scottish word dour seems
especially applicable, and they are
credited with the intention of injecting
a bit of ginger into their party.
