London, Oct. 11. The march of 5,000 anti-Fascists in the East End of London this afternoon ended without serious disorder. There were a number of minor injuries in scuffles between Communists and their opponents and the police made nine arrests.
About 100 youths, in the course of the evening, smashed the windows of 15 Jewish-owned shops in Mile End Road, the East End, and looted their contents on some of the premises. When a bus-load of police rushed up, the raiders disappeared.
The Fascist march in Liverpool in the evening led to lively scenes. Despite the fact that hundreds of foot and mounted police surrounded the procession, missiles were thrown by anti-Fascists and the police made baton charges into the crowd. There were many arrests and several were injured.-Reuter.
