LIVELY SESSION
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. DEBATE ON FINANCE BILL. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright) London, May 28. The House of Commons rose at eight in the morning after a wild all night sitting of 17 hours. Trouble arose out of a discussion whether the debate on the Finance Bill should be continued two hours after midnight or till five. Sir Austen Chamberlain moved to report progress, but Mr Philip Snowden refused. A noisy discussion proceeded for several hours, Labourites howling down the Conservative speakers, some whistling the “Dead March.” The closure was moved several times, and Mr Snowden, who was accused by the Conservatives of maintaining a stony silence, retorted: “The only contributions you have made to the debate are insult and buffoonery.” Finally the House rose after passing five clauses out of the 47.
