fds6 l.J
 The government apparently was still undecided on tariff formula which would be acceptable both to the liberals and conservatives. Some observers believed a definite announcement regarding the gen. eral election prospects would be made before october 2. Those fa- voring a general election pointed out hopefully that the house at any time might be adjoprned for one day and dissolved the next.
 London, Sept 30-UP)-Police clashed today with mobs in re- newed unemployment riots during which many were injured.
 Demonstrations were trampled by mounted police and charged crowds outside the British museum. The unemployed, including many women, reassembled after having been elected from the vicinity of Bow street police station.
 The demonstrators gathered ear ly and sought to force their way into the Bow street police station where II men and one woman were held after an unemployed demon- stration before the houses of par liament last night.
 They fought police patrols who blocked their way along the mar row, dingy thoroughfare in the heart of London's west end. A clash occurred at Oxford street, bat the crowd there moved on after a brief altercation. They reassemb- led in Hyde park. Police again charged, dispersing the meeting. The clashes followed lively en- agreements during the night. when crowds of unemployed, shouting anti-government slogans and in ugly mood, defied orders not to demonstrate within a mile radius of the houses of parliament. One po- liceman was hurt. The crowd jeered but the demonstrators grad ually receded before the police and were driven away from Whitehall and the Cenotaph. Twelve were arrested.
 Serious disorders occurred in Mayfair and Bond street, elite shop ping district in the capital. Win dows were smashed by the mob which rushed along the thorough fares after police charged demon stration in Hyde park
 In Hyde park, the unemployed demonstrators, shouting and milling about, cut the stirrups off the sad- dies of a number of horses await ing riders in famous Rotten Row. The police charge on the park split the crowd into sections i which ran through the west end. | The police reported quiet after two hours. - In the house of commons, W. J. Brown. laborite, presented a petl- tion bearing half a million sigma lures protesting against the dole reductions and curtailment of the period during which unemployed persons may receive the dole.
 The date for adjournment of the ' present emergency session, he in- dicated, probably would be Oct '. | Lord Reading in the house or lords also announced that the ses- sion would end Oct unless some- | thing unforeseen occurred. The significance of MacDonald's announcement lay in the difference | between adjournment of parliament and dissolution. Adjournment means that the session is merely | interrupted and will reconvene. | Dissolution entails the termlnatlou of parliament and a general elec- tion.
 Macdonald announced that prior
 to adjournment, the house would pass a bill to prevent exploitation l of foodstuffs and articles of gen. eral consumption during the emerg- ency created by suspension of the gold standard and fall in value of the pound.
 While parliament was sitting to hear the governments eagerly awaited decision on an election, crowds of unemployed surged through London's streets, fighting
 with police and demonstrating against the cuts in the dole under the governments economy pro- gram.
 The national coalition govern ment headed by Macdonald. while parliament is in adjournment. will run the country with quasi-dicta- torial powers. empowered by par
