SUFFRAGETTES MOBBED AND BEATEN IN WALES: HAIR TORN FROM THE HEADS OF MR LLOYD GEORGE’S INTERRUPTERS

There were scenes of the wildest disorder at Llanystymdwy on Saturday, when some suffragettes were violently treated by an angry and excited crowd. Llanystymdwy is near Criccieth, where Mr. Lloyd George received his boyhood training, and the occasion was the visit of the Chancellor to open the village institute which he has presented to the parish. The suffragettes had been warned that it would injure their cause if they adopted their usual tactics towards Cabinet Ministers, but they paid no heed to the warning, and suffered in consequence. Those who interrupted the Chancellor were attacked with great fury, their hair being torn out and their heads beaten. One was actually stripped to the waist. The large photograph shows a policemen vainly endeavouring to protect a woman from the infuriated mob. The small one shows a man grabbing and pulling the hair of the same girl.
