CONTINUED TWO HOURS Combination of Socialists and Suffra- gettes Make Things Lively at Free Speech Demonstration. London, May 4—W1ld scenes of dis- order occurred today at the demon- stration in Trafalgar square under the auspices of the free speech defense commiftee. The police tried te pre- vent speeches from the Whitehall side of the Plinth of the Nebon column, and only the intervention of James Kier Hardfe, socialist and at present labor member of the house of com- mons, who was chairman of the meet- ing, prevented a sérious riot. As it was, the disorder, many times culminating’ in fisticuffs between the crowd and the police, continued for al- most two hours. Suffragettes in the Line. By the time the marching socialist, labor and other organizations with bands playing the Marseillaise reach- ed Trafalgar square, 20,000 persons hag gathered there and as many mord in_the surrounding streets. Permission to hold a meeting was given at the last moment on the un- derstanding that no suffragettes should be allowed to speak. Unable to se- cure permission to march as an_or- ganization, the supporters of the Wo- men's social and political unfon march- ed with the dockers, their colors fly- ing, preceded by a huge banner in- scribed: “Where there’s a will there’s a way." Flags of the women's soclal and po- litical union were hoisted on the plinth, from which they waved con- tinuously during the meeting. Speaker Disobeyed Orders. The trouble started when a social- ist speaker began to address the crowd from the Whitehall side of the column, The promise had been given that no speaking should take place om this side because of interference with traf- flo. A husky police sergeant standing on the plinth hurled the speaker down on the heads of the crowd below. The crowq then rushed the plinth and endeavored to replace the speak- er. It looked for a time as if their efforts would prove successful, but mounted police ruthlessly rode down the rioters. James Kier Hardie then intervened and the soctalist speaker was allowed to regain his place. Suffragette Loses Some Clothes. In a moment a suffragette attempt- ed to climb to the plinth. The police below tried to her back, but sym- pathizers on the platform succeeded in dregging her after she had sac- rificed some , which she Teft in_the hands of the police. In retaliation a policeman snatched a suffrageite banmer from a girl who was waving it from the back of one of the landseer Hons. She struck the policeman in the face and her friends regafned the banmer, minus the staff. General Mixup with Police. This struggle angered the crowd ang the disorder became so general that Commissioner Wells, command- ing the mounted police, ordered the Whitehall side cleared. The order was carrled out 30 roughly by the horse- men that Commissioner Wells, noting the temper of the crowd, retired in favor of a police officer. “Aa he was leaving Wells was showered with eggs, oranges and other missfles. Fights between the police and the poople now became general, the ohief results of which were battered faces and minor injuries on both sides. Many of the rioters wore arrested, but the crowds succeeded in rescuing most of the prisoners. There was a largs number of isolated encounters. NAUGATUCK TO USE VOTING MACHINES.

SHUN THE JOB OF SERVANT Difficulty Lies With Head of House, Says Commissioner. Albany, May 5.—In his annual re- port to Mayor Gaynor, Herman Robin- son, commissioner of licenses, again took up the servant problem, and put the blame for the scarcity of good housemalds, cooks, “upstairs girls,” and the like squarely up to the head | of the house, technically called the | employer, who, Robinson says, doesn’t | seem to have the least regard for the | “ambitions” of Bridget, Nora, Gretchen or whatever her name may be. The roport, which deals with the reg- ulating of various kinds of employ- ment agencies up to April 80, says that the problem of the dlstributlon of la- bor stll} rests principally with the pri- vate employment agency, becauas free state employment bureaus, and even private employment bureaus conduct- ed on a large scale, have not proved successful. The personal element in the management of the employment agency is necessary, Robinson says, the real problem being in getting the indi- vidual to fit the job In each case, and not the collection of 1,000 persons for 1,000 jobs, whether the work is tunnel excavation or domestic service. ‘Employment agencles,” the report continues, “cannot meet the demand for servants. It is not so much because women who are willing to work as ser- vants are scarce, as it 18 that 80 many of them are incompetent.
