HUNGER MARCHERS ABOUT
 LICKED IN GREAT BRITAIN
Powerful Methods of London Mounted and Foot BOb-
 bies Seem to Have Stamped Out R0t0us Mood

housed and escort them forcibly from the metropolitan area.
 A hint of the probable course of when police raided the Westnnin- ster workhouse, chief lodging place of the marchers, and placed @ cor don around it.. About 700 march CTS were billeted there, andy ap- parently got into row about the distribution of their rations. After nearly 30 arrests were made, the marchers were subdued and police left the place with only g small guard around t.
 The upshot of more than Q week of the Occupation" of Lon- don by the hunger marchers was about 200 persons injured, few of them seriously; some shop win- dows broken, and more than 100 arrests made.
 The demonstration was organ-
 ized against the means test" by which unemployed applying for the dole were required to prove their absolute dependence on gov ernmental assistance. The test provides that after being on the dole for 26 weeks in a year, the unemployed must ap- pear before. the authorities and establish their right to continued relief. It has led to endless trou- ble. Many families who have been drawing more than their just due, with their members lodging work as long as they can live on govern ment money, have been hard hit by the test. On the other hand, families really deserving have been deprived of part of their former relief.
 Hence,J there has been dissatis- faction on every hand. Communist organizers have taken advantage of the situation to foment trouble and the march on London was at- tributed in the main to their acc tivities.
 The dole changes put into ef- feet by the national government in It's economy drive may be sum- marked as follows: 1. Weekly dole benefits have been reduced by 10 per cent;
 weekly contributions by the in-
 sured workers, employers and the
 government have been increased 20 per cent.
 ?. All insured unemployed who
 have received dole benefits for 26
 weeks can no longer draw the dole
 and must qualify for transitional
 benefits.
 3. Persons coming under the l transitional benefit must submit to
 Q means test" to prove their need. Already more than 100000 have
 been disqualified from all dole ben- efits.
 l {. By the removal of anomalies
 act, married women outof work
 have been disqualified in most
 cases from the dole. Seasonal workers who "habitually work
 only two days or less per week.
 were similarly disqualified. The dole now amounts roundly
 to about $3.50 week, plus small
 allowances for dependents.

 London, Nov B. (UP)--Eng- lands hunger marchers," discon- certed by the orderly but powerful methods of London's police force to their demonstrations, fingered here to-day, apparently without plans or organization.
 The show of force by authorities during the attempted march on parliament Tuesday, coupled with the arrest of w. A. l.. Huntington, leader of the marchers, apparently disconcerted the n1archers. They remained passive during the last "A hours and no immediate plans for future mass demonstrations were announced.
 Tho majority of the unemployed who marched on London from va- rious parts of England, Scotland, and Wales in a protest against the means test applied to the jObless, threatened to remain In London, however, until their petition for relief Is presented to parliament.
 The question of their dispersal was the biggest problem confront ing authorities. Apart from 90 marchers who returned to Brigh- ton by bus yesterday. there was no indication that those who remained here would likewise depart.
 The hope that their leaders would arrange to take them home was not too strong. since it was estimated the cost would be about $4,000, which is<far more than they have. been able to raise by contributions during the past weeks, demonstrations in London. It was said in some quarters that if there Is no sign of the marchers departing by Saturday, police would invade the poorhouses and other institutions where they are

Secretary, American Bridge League
 Several new and interesting changes in the code and rules gov- erning rubber contract bridge have become effective following . recent announcement by the Whist Club of New York.
 This club was the first in the United States devoted exclusively to the game of bridge, and its code Is recognized generally, while the American Bridge league has issued the official code for dupli- cate or tournament play. Within 30 days the latter organization will announce a new code, and a definite effort will be made to have both codes conform as nearly as possible.
 The terms and definitions to be used throughout the Whist club code will conform to the terms employed and understood in &C., tual play. The new revoke law should meet with popular ap- proval. While the revoke penalty remains as two tricks, only tricks won after an established revoke may be taken to pay the penalty.
