RADICAL PLOT
STIRSLONDON:
RIOTS FEARED
Communists Seek to
Cause Trouble
(By Associated Press


LONDON, Nov. 22.-An alleged CON-
munist plot to provoke revolutionary
trouble in London today in connection
with an anticipated demonstration by
the unemployed is the feature of to-
days newspapers, some of which pre-
dict serious rioting.
The organizers of the alleged plot
are said by several papers, which
claim sufficient official support for
their statements to be dangerous COM
munists working in cooperation with
Moscow. Their plan is said to be the
exploitation of the large gathering of
unemployed who marchd from the
provinces to London last week to call
attention to their condition and to
ask the premier to receive a depu-
tation.
Offer Rejected
Mr.. Bonar Law declined to receive
spokesmen of the unemployed, but
promised that their cause would be
heard by the ministers of labor and
health. The leaders rejected this offer
and insisted upon seeing the premier.
Rumors, supported by the police
spread throughout the city yesterday
to the effect that organizers of the un-
0nplOyeQ were Q0l6TInlneQ 10 IOTC0 an
entrance to Downing street from
Whitehall today and if the interview
was still refused to start fight, many
of the demonstrators being known to
possess arms.
To Advise Conference.
1t seems probably, however, that the
lurid suggestions made by some news
papers as to what may happen today
will not be fulfilled, inasmuch as three
labor commoners after an interview
with Mr.. Bonar Law last night agreed
to advise the leaders of the unemploy-
ed to accept conference with Sir
Montague Barlow, the minister of Ia
Dor, and abandon any plans for an at
tempt to force an entrance to Downing
street. The Daily Herald says that this
advice was accepted and that deputa-
ton will see the minister of labor this
afternoon
A police order was issued last night
forbidding any demonstrations within
certain areas around the houses of
parliament. This district Is always un-
der prescription for such purposes
while parliament is sitting.
