THE UNEMPLOYED.
The Demonstration at Tompkins
Square To-Day.
The Police Authorities Refuse Permission for
the Mass Meeting orkingmen's Asso-
Citations Denounce tho Commit
tee Of Public Safety.


This morning, at eleven O'Clock, according to
previous arrangement, the workingmen OF this
city out OF employment at present and who are
connected or sfiiisted with the different trade
organizations have determined to hold monster
mass meeting in Tompkns square. There are so
many warning and conflicting labor organizations
In this city, and their views, both publicly and pr-
vately expressed. are SO radically different that 1t
becomes almost impossible on mature examination
to understand what il demanded or what will be
demanded by the meeting this morning. At
all events, the Park Commissioners have asked the
Police Commissioners to prevent meeting in
Tompkins square.
1t Is difficult, TO form large procession unless
peaceful rendezvous can ne had, and II the work.
ingmen are not allowed TO meet in Tompkins
square, an open nat parade ground with nothing
inside OF the railing that can possibly be destroyed,
1t can hardly be imagined where they Will form Tor
marching. The route OF procession as laid down
from the police authorities was from Tompkins
square through Eighth street to Bowery. down
Boweyy to Canal street, through Canal street to
South Fifth avenue, anu up South Filth avenue to
Fourteenth street, where they were to dismiss,
The wOrkingmen wished to go below Canal street,
but this will not be allowed by the police authori
ties. The committee who called yesterday at
police headquarters were not informed OF this re.
quest Of the Park Commissioners and the imme-
date decision Of the Police Commissioners, and
serious mistake ray have been made in this
neglect. The Numbers OF men who are expected to
congregate tomorrow In the vicinity of Tomp-
kins square are varlously estimated at from 1000
to &c, 0O0'perSonS.
CONFUSION IN COUNCIL
But there seems to be among the wOrkingmen's
associations good zeal OF cross purpose and diff
ference OF opinion. and 1t is hardly possible that
the great trade societies OF this city will justify the
counselling violent measures Last evening there
were number Of meetings throughout the city,
some Of genuine wo Hla and Others being
