A letter to Mr Chamberlain asking him to receive a deputation of unemployed men regarding winter relief scales was handed in at No 10 Downing Street by leaders of a group of about' 70 men connected with a London committee organisation called the National Unemployed Workers’ Movement. The men attempted a demonstration and the police had to move them on, but no arrests were made. The visit to Downing Street is a sequel to one or two other small demonstrations an the West End round about Christmas time, organised by the same committee, and a petition was sent a few days ago to the King which, as they were advised, his Majesty passed to “his responsible advisers.”
