GOVERNMENT BLAMED FOR NOT CONSULTING SPEAKER.
DEPUTATION FROM WIVES OF UNEMPLOYED.
By telegraph, Press Ass’n, Copyright Received 10 42 p.m., July 18. 1 London, July 18.
The Times considers it was ridiculous of the Government to lightly embark on the redistribution scheme without the obvious precaution of privately consulting ths speaker in regard to the procedure. Eight hundred wives of the unemployed in London assembled on the Thames embankment and sent a deputation to Mr Balfour and Sir H. Campbell Bannerman to urge the passing of the Unemployed Bill. Both were sympathetic, and promised to do the utmost. Mr Balfour is modifying the Bill in the hope of rendering it nncontentious.
