It is important for us to understand what happerod at this lobby and to draw the conclusions, The basic reason for tha disturbances was the high-handed approach of the police and the couldn't care less attitude of a large number of M.P.'s. The majority of the participants were ordinary workers who wont to the demonstration accepting the reformist slogans under which it was organised. Many of them had travelled overnight, had taken a day off work and had oither raisod the fares out of their ow pockets or through their organisations, After all this they were kept waiting for an hour or so with hardly any progress in seeing their I1,P,'s,. Not suprising then that they saw red. Thus we are brought to the obvious eonclusion that;convinced that some one is trying to 'put something across t them' the Tritish worker will react vigourously,. And that, without dcubt, given tlhe slightest degree of lendorshipthe British workers will acquit themselves very well indeed - this is cur hope for the future.
