In view of the lack of representa-

LONDON, November 22.-The
widely heralded army of 100000 or
so desperate characters who were
expected to assemble on the En-
bankment and try to beat their
way through to Downing street
to enforce their demands for an
audience with Prime Minister Bonar

number of demonstrants showed

LONDON, November 22-An alleged
communist plot to provoke revolu-
tionary trouble in london today In
connection with an anticipated dem
onstration by the unemployed Is the
feature Of this mornings newspapers.
some of which predict serious riot
ing.
The organizers Of the alleged plot
are said by several papers, which
claim. sufficient official support for
their statements. to be dangerous
communists working in cooperation
with Moscow. Their plan is said to be
the exploitation of the large gather
ing of unemployed who marched from
the provinces to London last week to
call attention to their condition and
to ask the premier to receive a depu-
tation.
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 Of
fer and insisted upon seeing the
premier.
Rumors. supported by the police.
spread throughout the city yesterday
to the effect that organizers of the
unemployed were determined to force
an entrance to Downing street from
White Hall today, and If the interview
was still refused. to start a fight, many
of the demonstrators being known to
possess arms.
It seems probable, 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 aSyise the leaders Of the unemployed
to accept a conference with Sir Mon
tague Barlow, the minister Of labor,
and abandon any plans for an attempt
to force an entrance to Downing street:
The Daily Herald says that this advice
was accepted and that a deputation
will see the minister of labor this aft
ernoon.
Police Forbid Demonstration.
A police order was issued last night
forbidding any demonstrations within
certain areas around the houses of par
lament. This district is always under
prescription for such purposes while
parliament Is sitting.
Extensive precautions were taken by
the London police against trouble in
connection with the proposed demon
tration.
When the hour arrived for the assem-
bling Of the demonstrators on the en-
bankment, mounted police in great mum.
bers were on hand there and through
out the Whitehall area, prepared for
any emergency.
Shortly after noon a few demonstra-
tors began to assemble on the embank-
ment, some of them with red flags. and
the police received reports that other
bodies were marching in from various
suburbs.
