Especial cabIe)

LONDON, May - The British
Worker official organ of the striking
British workers, was held up for three
hours by the police last night. The
London Daily Herald offices, where the
journal is being printed, were searched
and Scotland Yard carefully scrutin-
lied copies Of the paper. When the
police evacuated the building a ire
mendous crowd met them on the out
side, cheering and singing the "Red
Flag"
This action of the police effectively
prevented distribution of the strike or
gan in London last night, but today
efforts will be made to make up for
last nights loss. This is a cynical
commentary on the affectation of the
government which in last Sundays ul-
timatum to the Trade Union Congress
stressed its concern for freedom of the
press when the printers walked out
of the composing rooms of the big
London dailies.
