RED FLAG GUSTS UNION JACK
London Boro Votes to Fly Rev
dictionary Banner

LONDON, March 24.-Bermondsey,
a London borough largely inhabited
by working class people, has decided
to fly the red flag over dts Town Hall
instead Of the Union Jack, thus follow
ing the example Of its sister borough,
Battersea.
The town councillors, most Of whom
belong to the labor party, have de-
cided that the new red flag will show
the arms of the borough in the upper
left hand corner.
There is a growing tendency for
boroughs to fly their own flags, and
as the old Union Jack was worn out,
Bermondsey decided to buy a red
flag.
