asked the Home Secretary whether he has given instructions for a large number of police to be sent into Hayes immediately blacklegs arrive, where a dispute is taking place between the employers and workmen; and whether, in view of the peaceful conduct of the men on strike, he will cancel the instructions so as to avoid any disturbance of the peace?

Mr. DAVIES:

Arrangements have been made for two constables to patrol in the vicinity, but apart from this no special instructions have been given.

Is it in order to allude to men who are seeking work, as "blacklegs"?

These men were not seeking work; they were blacklegs.

There are some terms which come into common use.
