I recall reading in a book (I think it was a Churchill biography) about a protest in the early 20th century in which a bunch of striking union workers (maybe coal miners) were marching through London and came to Downing Street. They turned to head to 10 Downing, which was guarded by one sole policemen, and things looked like they would get ugly.

But just then, a few soldiers from the Household Cavalry next door rode over, dismounted, and drew their swords. The protestors yelled a bit but no one dared to advance.

Does anyone know which book this was in (and what page) or have a site that has more details about this event?

Many experts agree that primitive gins and spinning
wheels originated in India. The earliest samples of
cotton fabric were found in the excavations of the
Indus Valley. Samples of the most ancient mordant
dyeing technique for cotton fabrics, Kalamkari, were
also found there. The Puranas describe spinning and
weaving that match the modern concept of an industry.
The fibers used for spinning and the fabrics produced
were of the most varied types, unparalleled in any
other country during that period. Pliny's Natural
History informs that India exported to Rome large
quantities of sheep wool, woolen fabrics, colored
carpets, silks, cotton clothes, and fabrics ranging
from coarse canvas to textiles of the finest texture.
Ancient Indians had the reputation of making the
thinnest saree that could pass through a finger ring.
During the reign of Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor,
the British did not know weaving and lived naked.

I read the following passage on the net: The butt collecting in Berlin, I do not hesitate to say, is the most intensive on earth. Remain stationary on a Berlin street while you smoke a cigarette, and likely as not you will soon have around you a circle of children, able-bodied men, and whiskered old men . . . Butts are legal tender in the economic system that prevails in Berlin. The other afternoon I was at the home of a woman who was having some glass put in the blown-out windows of her apartment. The glazier had been on the job all day . . . The woman's daughter came into the living room to say that the glazier had finished and was waiting to be paid.. 'Come now, where have you put the butts?' the mother asked the child, who went out and shortly returned with a silver bowl containing twenty butts. Her mother took the bowl into the next room, where the glazier had been working, and through the open door I could hear him expressing his ecstatic thanks.
