8 demonstration at Hyde Park in favor
of eight hours as legal working
day. The manifesto calling the meeting
sets forth that all intelligent working peo-
pie are convinced OF the necessity of limiting
the working day TO eight hours. They know
this can only be done effectively by legislation,
as the masters always take back at the earliest
opportunity any concessions they have been
forced TO give by the mere combination OF work
ers.
The manifesto is authenticated by the sigma
lures OF responsible representatives OF nearly all
the trade and labor organizations in London and
concludes:
" The enemies of the working classes declare
that the workers do not desire an eight hours
working day by legislation. Give them the lie
by attending 10 your tens of thousands and hun
dreds OF thousands on May 4.h in Hyde Park"
The prospects Indicate an imposing demonstra-
tion. Ample police preparations have been
made for the maintenance Of order. Arrange
ments for The mass meeting are perfect.
The friction between the Socialists and trade
uniOnlsts has been removed by compromise.
The leaders OF the two factions have agreed that
there shall be Two professions. which shall be
kept separate at all points. The Socialist and
the labor orators will speak from platforms as
far distant as possible from one another The
professions VIII enter the park from opposite
sides. The speakers comprise all The we'll known
labor and Socialist agltators.
