| LONDON, Oct 2O.--The Social Democrats have an
no need their intention of organizing monster pro-
cession of the unemployed Lord Mayors Day, de-
spite the remonstrance of Sir James Fraser and serious
apprehensons are entertained that riot may result.
The Daily Telegraph tomorrow will publish letter
from H. NJ. Hyndman leader of the Social Democrats,
| in which he thus seeks to justify their decision:
"Things already with the workers than they
were last February as well in London the Prov
nces Our various branches have applied to the local
authorities to know what they intend to do to meet
| the great and growing misery of men and women who
shrink with horror from the squalid misery of the
workhouse and ask only that they may have enough
for honest labor to keep their wives and children in
food. To application satisfactory reply has
been probably will be given, we are driven to
make others see if we the dangers OF continued
neglect by demonstration which shall afford strik-
ing between the misery of the workers and the
meretrcious display of Lord Mayors show by day or
the bestial gutony of the Lord Mayors feast by night
These proposals:
Fmst-That no Government servant be employed at
his or her wages for longer period than eight hours
day. We claim similar redr ction on rail-
ways and other monopolies
"Second-That all uncultivated Crown or other
lands In pasture which, in the opinion OF skilled
agiculturst ii would not pay to cultivate be at once
worked with improved machinery by such OF the un-
employed unaccustomed to OF would prefer
agricultural occupation.
"Third-That any public works in or near an indus.
trial CENTRE such artists dwellings, embankment OF
rivers construction OF canals aqueducs. should begin
a instead of their commencement being deferred
"Fourth-That where possible light relief works on
similar principles should be begun for those women
or who are incapable of heavy labor
@Fih-That the cost of the initial proceedings and
payment of wages be by the ratepayer and state
in equal portions or in such proportions as may be de-
termned
Sixth-Free dinners for children in Ill boarding
schools as nothing is more terrible for the wOrkmen at
home than TO the health OF their offspring ruined
for lite by sheer lack OF nourishment.
sIt is the sheer hopelessness OF getting anything
from the governing classes whatever in the present
chaotic condition OF domestic administration which
has mpelled to the of which you disapprove
Yet is not action clearly justified by the RESULT
Are thousands Of the well-to-do considering the
state of the poor who but for declared intention
would never have given heed II the Government and
the boards OF guardians In London and the county
their way to adopting proposals and thus
work assuredly can't pay-then have reason to be.
lieve that the Social Democratic Federation would
gladly abandon the demonstration of the unemployed
but nothing short of air play to the workers will stop
the agitation which, beginning with small things
four five years ago. is now much more serious
than some appear to imagine"
In response to invitation to attend the meeting
week to present parting address to Mr. Schnad
horst John Bright has written to the secretary OF the
Brmingha Liberal Association
lmust ask to be excused if do not attend the meet
ing to which you invite me- do not wish to attack
my former friends and to cast blame where think
grievous error has been committed. ! can only hope
the present clouds may be dispeed and that our
former harmony may be restored To promote this
think silence the time Is better than speaking and
therefore prefer to be absent from any public meeting
where criticism might be expected from me-"
