DISORDERLY SCENE
ON LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
QUESTION OF SATURDAY
CLOSING London, November 21. There was an unparalleled scene on the London Stock Exchange when Sir Charles Pulley, an elderly member, was booed for twenty minutes because lie had suggested in a newspaper that members should work on Saturday mornings instead of going golfing. When Sir Charles Pulley arrived the members ceased work -nd started booing and jeering. A couple who attempted to protest had to make a hurried exit in order, to save themselves from threatened attacks. Sir Charles Pulley went home upset. The scene is described as the most disgraceful on record. Sir Charles Pulley, in a subsequent statement, said that it was ridiculous that the Stock Exchange should close on Saturday in a time of national stress, when the European Exchanges are open.
