ENGLISH LABORITES,

DINE WITH ROYALTY
Lady Aston loosely Tells

London. March 9.-The king and
queen for the first time in their
lives broke bread with the Labor
members Of Parliament last night in
the home of one of their subjects. The
occasion was a dinner given by Wis
count and Lady Astor, at which their
majesties met among others, James
Henry Thomas, general secretary of
the National Union of Railway Men,
John Robert Slynes, president OF the
National Union of General Workers,
and former labor leader in the House
and Philip Snowden, and their wives.
Labor came in silken knee breecheS,
which was loosely described as con-

The affair. unique in British social
history, was arranged as much to per-
nit the king and queen TO meet i'll
social intercourse with the Laborites,
as to allow the LabOrites to come into
social contact with their rulers. 1t
was said that the king had made
known his desire TO meet the leaders
of the Labor party in such Il man
ncr.
Lady Astor, whose campaign for
political honors was characterized by
much banter, greeted the 'Laborites
when they appeared in knee breecheS
with joking remarks. She whispered

she looked back and urged her guests
to hurry. for the Labor members were
apparently expecting that the usual
precedence by rank would be in or

seemed anxious TO hold back.
