WILD SCENES OF DISORDER WERE WIT- NESSED IN GLASGOW TO-DAY AS THE OUT- COME OF A GIGANTIC DEMONSTRATION BY UNEMPLOYED.

The storm-centres were Glasgow Green, the Hyde Park of Glasgow, and the Corporation Council Chamber! Ten policemen were injured in a conflict with the demonstrators, five of them being taken to hospital. Another police officer was seized by one gang and an attempt was made to throw him into the Clyde. Plate-glass windows of the shops,

gay for Christmas, were smashed. Motor-cars were held up and their windscreens smashed.

In the City Council Chamber, sevan members were suspended by the Lord Mayor, and a ruffle occurred be- fore they were removed. One was carried out uncon- scious, having fainted.
