ami that g I will funic out of t he
demonstration is shown by the re
ports u I' the success t hat Socialists
are meeting with in ntlrai-ling atten
tion to t heir demands. ,
Hundreds of simp fronts were
covered with boards, ol her shops and
hotels hail their shutters down and
similar safeguards against looting.
At Trafalgar square hard I a shop
or lnilcl front remained unguarded
by cither hoards or shutters, and 110
opportunity was a Horded to the
criminal (dement, which is always on
hand in large gatherings, to take ad
vantage of the excitement. Thus
the honest determined wnrkingmen
were spared reproach.
In general I he crowd remained ab
solutely silent as the cavalry and
escort and various city guilds passed.
Several otlicials in carriages coming
next, were hooted. A model steam
launch with a crew aboard, a lifeboat
and two elephants were the only
parts of the procession that were
cheered. "Last of all came the Lord
Mayor in his gihled state coach,
looking like the K nave of ( 'lubs on
cards. He passed amid storms of
hisses and 'linos!'" says the cable
to the New York llrrahl.
After the procession the unem
ployed were addressed by various
speakers. Anions others. Williams,
a prominent Socialist, addressed
them from the foot of the Nelson
monument, lie declared t hat the
populace would show I hey could
hold an orderly meeting o let the
public know the amount of distress
which at present existed among the
wnrkingmen of Fnglaiul. Another
speaker said : "All the power of
the country was invoked to prevent
us from assembling in Trafalgar
sipiare. Our reply l all this is that
we are here. I do not desire to use
rash language, but I mean all I say.
We want food, work and dwelling
places for all. and all will have them.
The Socialists pledged the unem
ployed of London that they would
make this demonstration to-day to
contrast before the world the ex
treme poverty of London's unem
ployed with the extreme wealth and
plenty of the city's upper ( lasses,

to listen to them.
"The Socialists will coiiiintic their
work until every vestige of tyranny
shall be swept away. ur orai lig
ation is the only one which dares to
take the proper position on behalf of
the poor and oppressed. care not
lore to break the peace. We are
here to agitate in a peaceful manner
for work for all and overwork for
none."
I it-solutions ak in ir the government
to provide Work for the unemployed
and to reduce to eight the number of
hours const it ul i nu a day's work were
carried amid loud cheering, and the
".'roup which adopted 1 1 1 -1 1 1 and vv Inch
had by tins time absorbed nearly all
the multitude remaining in the
scpiare dispersed cheering fur the
promised social revolution.
The Lord Mavor has promised to
impure immediately into the extent
of the exceptional distress and to
endeavor to discocr the best remedy
for ils relief.

of ihe liclgian chambers was opened
to-day. Kin"; Leopold recommended
in his speech that the government

dwellings for work i ngineii ; tu develop
sick and provident institutions, pen
sions and life assurance ; tn eoinbal
Ihe ravages of inebriety and iniinor

promise of extensive amnesty for the
persons convicted of participating in
I he riots of last spring, ami expressed
a trust that there would he a palri

One thousand women dressed in
black arrived here to-day in a body
from Charleroi to petition for am
nesty to the men convicted of par
ticipation in the labor riots of last
March. The women had arranged
lo walk in procession from the rail

delegation lo present. I heir petition

"( luvernmcn! employment" is a
good principle, because it will let.
the people be their own employers
and do away with corporations and
monopolies by letting the govern
ment compete with t In-ill. Nearly
all the wrongs would right them
selves by this means. It is simply
co-operation. And the co-operation
of the government wiih I he people
is Ihe only plan of co-operation thai
will not. turn info a hurtful monop
oly. We have got to co-operate so
each shall live and not be a burden
or an injury to ol hers. This is a
principle we must, not overlook, for
this is freedom, and we desire that
above all things. Daniel Webster
said that "no country could long en
dure where the Icndeney of Ihe law
was to cause a rapid accumulation of
property in the hands of the few."
II has proven a fact. And those who
cannot sec it fo-day will in a ft w
years, unless a change is sooner
made. Kach one must. have what
he earns, and no more. That is. we
must have a. principle I hat will iml

will bring this about but govern
