LONDON, Jan. 11

The first starts from the Scottish coalfields next week, while the South Wales contingent of miners set out a week later. The marchers will not he confined to miners. Other unemployed have been invited to join en route.
The demonstration is aimed not only against the Gove,mine it, bin the T.U.C. and the Parliamentary Labour Party, with which the Communists are at hitter loggerheads, the T.U.C. condemning what it describes as the exploitation of the unemployed for the benefit of the Communists, for political ends. It recalls that when the South Wales miners marched to Loud m, a year ago, there was much useless suffering and misery inflicted, and it predicts that experience will he repealed, without assisting them in the slightest.
