London Workless In New Year's Eve Clashes

With Police

LONDON, Jan. 1.

CLASHES between unemployed and mounted police occurred in the West End of London on New Year's Eve, when members of the National Unemployed League. marched from Piccadilly Circus to Trafalgar Square, carrying a black-painted coffin with the inscription: "He- died for want of help",

They were informed that they would not be admitted to Trafal- gar Square. This announcement was received with a loud protest by the demonstrators, who attempted to force their way into the Square. This gave rise to the first clash, the police charging the demonstrators and dispersing them.

The unemployed, however, attempted to form a

new pro- cession at Piccadilly Cireus, which was again dispersed by the police.

The first clash occurred shortly after midnight, and complete order was restored in the West End early on Sunday morning.-- Trans-Ocean.
