Asquith Grants Hearing to Suffragists in Lunch Room
London June 19 The Premier yielded to suffragette demands after hunger strike pressure at the House of Commons entrance. Miss Pankhurst, arrested a week ago, was released to continue her protest while being supported by aides and a chauffeur driven car. The incident followed efforts by James Kier Haile and George Lansbury. A New York commission order then suspended free telephone service.
