London.—An attempt by I-ondon’i unemployed to stage a big parade and demonstration broke op in a riot direct ly In front of the Bank of England, long the symbol of capital. Aife the marchers neared the famous old bank, police attempted to head them off. The unemployed paraders broke up their marching formation and a free-for-all fight started. Mounted police drew their truncheons and wielded them on the rioters freely. A number of arrests were mada. ftut the small number of police on the scene enabled many to escape who might otherwise have been arrested.. As soon as the disturbance broke out, an emergency call was sent out for all policemen on leave to assist in restoring order. Scattered fights took place between the police and the unemployed. One of the latter, during a bout with an officer, threw a brick, but it missed its target and went through a plate glass window of the American Pioneer Leather company. Police were ou the lookout for a re newal of the disorders.
