CLUBWONEN HEAD LABORERS PARADE British Aristocrats Join in! Anti-Strike Movement, Smiling When Booed. By the Associated Press. LONLON, April 19.—Feurteen bob- bed-haired young women of the aris- | tocracy and the wives of many of | Great Britain’s wage earners launched | a movement Saturday designed to ease | the industrial situation, and gave London a new thrill in a fourmiie street demonstration culminating in strike meeting in Albert Hall, | the leaders vented their feel- | | There were hatless women, women with shawls over their heads, women in furs, good, bad and indifferent; women wearing the colorful costumes | of Scotland and Wales, and other parts of the country, but that part of the picture which attracted most at- tention was composed of mounted | members of the fashionable Waadon Hunt Club, who headed the proces- sion. Most of them ap) <0 look upon the event as a gr venture, | and even looked smilingly upon the | handfuls of unemployea at various | oints along the lins of march who | ed them. | About the only fun the unemployed | had was hurling questions and ex-| clamations over the heads of the| crowd, such “What do you know | g0 the won't| works, the never-works” and "I say, look at the blighters in the tailor: made riding habits.” } Only Slight Flurries. | ‘The threats of the unemployed to | break up the parade, which the| women's guild of the empire had been | planning for months, did not ma- terialize. ixcepting for flurries along Hyde Park, where little crowds carry- | Ing red flags attempted to interrupt the marche; there was not enough trouble to ake the policemen cease ! smiling. ! The action of the women was against | strikes and lockouts on the ground , that national economic difficulties should be avoided. Banners were car- | ried bearing such inscriptions as ‘The only cure for unemployment is work,” *“No more politics in industry.” So far as police reports show, there was not a hat smashed anywhere and only a few pieces of millinery and some ribbons and shawls ruffied by the curious onlookers and April showers and gusts of wind. Scotland Yard, however, took no chances, in view of the rumors that trouble would surely develop. Bobbie for Every Ten. About 15,000 women, marching four and five abreast, participated, and on this basis it is estimated there was one bobbie for every 10 women. As regards sympathizers, a better route could hardly have been selected, as it led through Trafalgar Square, thence through Pall Mall and St James street, where the windows of the best known men’'s and women's clubs were filled, and the spectators shouted success to the marchers in their endeavors to reform the indus- trial world. It thence proceeded to the West End, the fashionable residential dis- trict. i Some of the most characteristic | banners read: “Strikes mean starva. | tion: peace brings plenty,” ‘Hard work and no nongense!” “Trust the people and defy the cranks “The strike is a_two-edged sword.” “General” Flora Drummond pre- sided over the huge meeting in Albert Hall, which unanimously adopted a resolution demanding that the re sources of the nation shall no longer be wasted in strikes and lockouts, but that all industrial disputes shail be | settled by negotiation and arbitration., G.
