Large Relief" Allowances Demanded.
Neuter'a Servien, 1
Londou, September 2,
The unemployment question has suddenly come to the fore through simultaneous and apparently centrally-controlled demon strations of the various districts of London demanding extravagant relief allowances from Boards of Guardians. A few of the Boards, notably Islin-ton, complied, while others temporised. It is note worthy that there have outbreaks of violence, the demonstrators generally dispersing quietly when the officials explained the difficulty of increasing the already enormous sums spent upon relief.
Curious Complication,

London, September 2. The executive of the London Labour Party has sent a letter to M:. Lloyd George on the question of unemployment urging the immediate convocation of a special session of Parliament to deal with the serious situation nationally, not, as at present, to throw the burden of relief upon the municipalities, by which ratepayers in the poorest districts are, the worst sufferers......
