LONDON, December 13. The House of Commons adjourned at seven in th morning after an all-night sitting due to the obstruction of the Labourites as a protest against the alleged in adequacy of the Government's accmployment measure.

He alerted. that the Government had heaped insults on the Labourites but the Labourites won'd fight to the death (Ministerial Laughter). Taey would fight if necessary in the streets. If the Government did not yield to them constitutionally the Labourites" would take what t'ey asked unconstitutionally. It was only the begin. ping,
