FFee-for-AII Street Riot Dis

LONDON, Sept. S.-lncreaslng
disorders, attributed to the activi-
ties of Communists, are being
given close attention by the Gov
eminent authorities today.
While Communists are reported
striving to gain executive control
over the Trades Union Congress
meeting in Scarborough, members
OF the. red movement elsewhere
are engaged in activities leading
to disorders.
The police have opened an Of
fensive against Communist plot
tiers, and British Fascists, in car
rying on an unofficial offensive
against the "red," are engaged in
frequent, and continued clashes
with those supporting the Moscow
idea of government.
Street Fight Follows
During street meetings in the
South Islington district, Commun-
lists and Fascist clashed and en-
gagged in a free-for all that threat
ened to become of serious proper
ton, until mounted police charged
into the mass Of combatants, num-
bered at about 200. Five arrests
were made.
Communists attempted to break
up a meeting addressed by Tom
Howard, Of the London country
council, and a brisk fight ensued,
with net result Of four injured.
When Princess Mary was visiting
Rotterdam to open hospital,
Communists attempted to hold anti.
royalist meetings along the route
travelled by the princess, but their
efforts were fruitless. Wherever
they gathered, indignant citizens,
loyal to the throne, rushed the
meetings and drove the Communist
speakers fleeing.
The home office, it is reported,
has authorized Scotland Yard to
arrest all Communists alleged to be
concerned in a plot to cause dis
affection among the men Of the
army and the navy.
For several months, Communist
newspapers and magazines have
been, especially appealing to men
ln the military and naval forces to

The authorities have been aware
Of these activities, but despite pres
sure in Parliament, have hesitated
to take action, but now the home
office has decided to check such
activities.
The ever-spreading activities Of
the Communists, and disorders
which follow in their train, are
causing increasing worry to the
authorities.
Reports persist that Sir William
Ioynson-Hicks, home secretary, has
authorized the secret recruiting Of
volunteer constabulary to combat
Communist efforts if there is any
concentrated outbreak on their part.
