SEAHAM LABOUR REJECTS PRIME MINISTER.
GLASGOW FERMENT
INTENSIFIES.
VIOLENT CLASHES WITH POLICE.
THE
THE BITTER feeling aroused in certain sections of the Labour Party by the National Government's stern economy cuts and Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's association therewith, was doubly démonstrated yester. day. At Glasgow, the unemployed disturbances of Thursday recurred in a more disgraceful form, and at Seaham Harbour, the Prime Minister's constituents listened to him respectfully and then informed him that they proposed to select another Labour candidate.
The riots in Glasgow were far more serious than those of the previous evening. The disturbances took an organised form from the beginning and the harassed police were kept constantly at work, moving swiftly from one point to another quelling violent outbreaks. The whole city seemed to be in a ferment and forty-nine arrests had been made up to eleven o'clock last night. They will be charged with disorderly conduct or with looting..
Foot and mounted police repeatedly charged the crowds, who rushed hither and thither for hours, smashing windows and looting the shops.
