Miss Sylvia Pankhurst's attempt to carry out her threat of a hunger strike at the entrance to the House of Com mons until the Premier yielded to the demand that hi listen to a delegation of. women was largely responsible for the Prime Minister's decision.

Holloway jail opened its doors to release Miss Pankhurst, weak and pale .fter her eighth successive hun ger strike.
