or over-population were the causes Of
the distress prevailing among the work
ing people, because similar social trou
bles existed in America and France.
The real cause was universal, that pro
ducers had no control over the amount
paid for production. Hyndman said
| that he and his associates would con-
| tinue to hold labor meetings and that
| there would soon be demonstration OF
Eastend tradesmen, for the purpose OF
agitating the subject of compensation.
The only law on the subject dates from
| the reign of Edward l. and is difficult Of
application
4 meeting of West End tradesnen
was held this evening tor the purpose OF
giving expression to their indignation at
the want of confidence in the authorities
for permitting the riot. Mr.. w. Il.
Smith, member of Parliament, presided.
Mr.. Picxetts stated that the loss caused
| by the rioters amounted to $4,000

dressed the meeting. Mr.. Smith said
he sympathized with genuine distress.
He condemned, however, the present
mode of agitation and appealed to work
men to resent the interference of So
cialists as determined to their own in
terests. He had said he had seen Mr..
Childers, the Home Secretary, and hau
given him notice that he would ques-
ton the government on the subject in
Parliament. A resolution was adopted
to send memorial to the Home Score
t4ry asking him to receive deputation
of tradeSmen for conference. MIR.
Kelly, Secretary of the Unemployed
Workingmen's Organization, accused
the Socialists of causing the recent
trouble and lays part of the blame on
the police officials, who he said,
were perfectly aware of the
intentions of the Socialists. Mr..
Kelly, on Monday, distributed
10000 circulars among the workingmen,
urging peaceful proceedings. He threat
ems that unless the police proceed
against the Socialists, the workmen
themselves will endeavor to punish
them. Kelly had his eyes blackened
and was otherwise badly bruised in a
fight yesterday. The city is quiet
tonight.
The Telegraph says that government
intends to prosecute the more violent of
the Socialist speakers who addressed
the mob in Trafalgar Square.
The news of the riot has created a
sensation in Europe. The Socialists of
Paris and Berlin are jubilant and meet
ings are being called in those citios to
express admiration for London Social
lists and to encourage them to take
further action
The latest estimates place the dam
ages done in Mondays riot at f5, 000
All witnesses agree that the rioters were
mainly ruffians of villainous looks and
of the lowest order, who moved quickly
in compact bodies.
The Times severely cenSureS the heads
of the police department who it says
proved themselves unfit for the posi-
tons they occupy. 1t reminds Mr..
Childers that his reputation depends
largely npon his recognizing this fact.
The cOnstables, it adds, did all that was
possible in facing the mob, without help
or guidance from leading officials.
