IN which the principal figures were

turned out Winston Churchill: Jack
Jones, London Laborite, and Kirk

The attack by led by Lansbury,
former editor Of The Daily Herald. a
Socialist organ, who asked Prime
minister bonar Law whether, in view
OF the gravity of the unemployment
problem, he would agree to the house
remaining in session until some means
was found for relieving the distress.
My answer is in the negative"
Bonar Law replied.
Lansberry then stated: "Mav I ask
the prime minister whether he is
aware that there is very great indig-
nation indeed against what is consid
cred the callous indifferences both of
the prime minister and his party?"
Premier Can't Be Heard.
Bonar Law arose to reply, but he
could not be heard, because of the
shouting from the Labor benches and
counter shouts from the Tories.
Clynes then offered a series of uues-
tions, trying to nail down Bonar Law
on one of his old speeches, and the
prime minister was repudiating the
quotations when Maxton got up and
interrupted. There We're bowls from
the Tory benches and a dozen. Labor
men jumped to their feet.
Scrymgeour, who has a foghorn
voice from years of oratory on street
corners, was heard above the din:
Il want to ask plain question"
The speaker replied, "You must
have regard for the authority of the
chair"
"Well, why don't you respect us ?"
he countered.
Answer is Demanded.
Another Laborite shouted across
the house to the Tories, "As long as
you keep bowling we will howl, too"
The yells were repeated for minute
or two and then the row died down.
The speaker called for the next
question, but before it could be taken
up there were bowls from the Labor
party benches demanding that the
prime minister answer Laborite who
kept shouting:
II want to know what he has done
for the unemployed. You have done
You don't care two pins
about them"
Then Kirkwod took up the refrain,
yelling:

minister. Let him face the music. He
is the chief in charge"
The speaker arose, trying to re-
store order, but Kirkwood kept on at
the top of his voice.

unfair condition exists. namely en-
ployers are incorporated and can be
sued unions are not Incorporated
and cannot be sued.

cases to illustrate this injustice. We
have recently suffered from a milk
strike, an unjust and unauthorized
strike, as has been proved by the
latest statemer Of the strikers. In
