A protest placed by MI. Plimsolf On the
table of the House of Commons last night
is published. In it Plimsoll says: 81 pro-
test IN the name Of God against tho delay
of the shipping bill. Although the bill it.
self is an atrocious shame, there is enough
hum anity and knowledge in tho House to
change it into good measure.'
He denounces the present laws against
breach Of contract, which leaves the sailors
who have unknowingly agreed to sail in
unseaworthv ships the alternative of the
jail or death, and continues:
II charge the government with Willingly
and unwittingly playing into the hands Of
the market murderers inside and outside
the House to secure the continuance of the
present murderous systems: ! desire to
unmask the villains who sit in this house,
tit representatives OF more numerous but
not greater villains outside. I demand that
the bill be proceeded with. Failing In this
lay upon the heads of this Premier and
his colleagues the blood of all who perish
next winter from preventable causes, and
call forth against him and them the wrath
of God

pared to 90 to prison. He has been in the
library Of the Commons today searching
