The Unemployed.

The arrest and the subsequent trial of our comrade Power for attempting to speak on the steps of St. Pauls Cathedral are not altogether without their serious aspect. The fact that man is willing to run the risk of imprisonment for no other reason than to bring before the notice of the public the existence of the unemployed is evidence of the import ance of the question. The amusing part of the business was the way in which he conducted his own defence. One after another of the police were called into dismissed, and even Superintendent Eos ter himself was not exempted from his interrogations. The police alleged that Power attempted to move a resolution condemning the brutality of the police, This gave him the opportunity of bring ing before the Court the resolution of the unemployed, namely, that the City Corporation or the County Council at once proceed to establish Municipal Workshops and Farms, etc, and would have emphasized the importance of such a step had not the Alderman abruptly interrupted him. The able, and at the same time Jocular, manner in which he defended himself secured light sen tence, and he was bound over in his own recognisances for e10 to keep the peace for six months. Since his trial however, Power has been perslstently "shadowed' by the Metropolitan police, some of them following him even into the City when he was looking for work. It Is as well to observe that the s. b. F. has written to all the London trade societies inviting them to meet and consider how best to deal with the un- employed. London Justice

Interesting News from California

Editor WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE: -- l quite agree with your editorial of Nov. 1st, that the socialistic force of tbe country should be concentrated at New York. Everything points to the fact that the social revolution IS upon us and the election of one Congressman on the Socialist ticket might precipitate the event.
 It is a most palpable fact that the capitalists have been prolonging the life of the competitive system by investing their surplus incomes in new railways, new factories, etc. but now the rail-

ways are practically completed and the trusts are a conclusive sign that no more capital can be expended in the extension of manufacturing plants; so the problem of investing the surplus is not to be solved under the present so- clal system. Not to invest the surplus incomes of the plutocrats means, no work for the millions of workers former. ly engaged in building new industrial plants; no work for millions means no food, means revolt, means revolution.

Call for a State Convention of the Social
 ist Labor Party.

ist Labor Party.
 To the Sections Of the Sociaitf Labor
 Party Qf the State of Massachusetts:
 The last State Convention in Massa- chusetts, which met at Boston on August 31 of this year, resolved to hold another Convention of the Sections of this State in January, 1891, to decide upon the question, whether or not we should take political action in the Fall of next year.
 Concidering that at the said Conven- ton the resolution was adopted that each Section should be free tO go into local election, where possible, and con Sjdering furthermore that the Sections have not availed themselves of this right, the State Committee has, after mature deliberation, decided to recon. mend to the sections that, in the Fall of 1891, they take part in the elections independently, as the Socialist Labor party,
 We therefore invite you to Confe. renee at Boston on January IS. 1891, for the purpose of deciding finally what attitude we are to adopt.
 The representation is to be, as decided on at the former convention and after wards ratified by the sections, one dele gate for every 90 members or fraction thereof. The fares of the representatives of the sections belonging to the State Organization will be det:ayed by the Sections collectively in proportion to their membership. This will enable the Sections lying at great distance from Boston to be represented in the Conte renee by delegate at slight expense.
 We recommend to the Sections that they furnish their delegates with defini- tive instructions. We likewise think it dvisable-provided it be decided to enter the political iield-that nomina- tOns for the various State offices be forthwith made at the Convention, see ing it may be necessary to promptly begin with the collection of the requisite signatures for the nomination certiti- cates, besides inaugurating the agitation at an early day.
 Throughout the land, as, for instance, in New I fork, Ohio, California, Mis, souri, etc, where the party took hand in the State, Congressional, or local elections, the returns are favorable. Shall Massachusetts with her preponde- rating industrial population lay behind? We hope not
 Therefore, Comrades, deliberate Sc riously over these propositions; submit yourselves, if necessary, to personal sacrifice; and let us at all times keep before our eyes the success of our Ger man Comrades on February 20, as wor- thy of imitation.
 We request the agents of the several Sections in the State, to bring the above before the members at their first bus- ness meeting, and to communicate to us forthwith the resolutions taken upon the same.

Moving for q Daily.

At the last agitation meeting which was held in the 18th Assembly District immediately before the election, speeches of more than ordinary interest were made by GIyn, Field and Niewland. The practical difficulty of reaching the people and presenting to them in their true light the issues of the day had evi- dently impressed itself upon the minds of the speakers, who were among the most active of our workers throughout the campaign and realized at every step the need of daily paper in the English language. How to establish such a paper was therefore one of their chief topics of discussion They argued that in every one of the ,595 election districts into which New York and Brooklyn are politically subdiVided, there are some Socialists, NatiOnalsts, and progressive men connected with labor organizations. If these would meet and form clubs in their respective districts, they could not only gather on short notice the funds necessary for the establishment of a daily one cent morning or evening paper, but could also secure it's circuia- tion and success, It was furthermore suggested that the FOhszeitrng and the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE might render valuable assistance in the formation of such clubs. which would also prove a DO erful agency of education and prop agandism.

Nati0nalism in New Haven Church.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 7, 20.

The Rev. Mir. Squires of the church of the Messiah, New Haven, lectured last Sunday on the subject of Adultery, QI Social evil" The newspaper reports say that the lecture was "distasteful' to the parshioners. No wonder; for this is what Mr, Squires said in conclusion of his sermon:
 "The best preachers are attacking the living, not the future, hell. The present system of society, resultant from the wage problem, makes vice among wo- men inevitable The greed of employ CTS drives women and young girls to vice. Not able in large cities to earn enough to sustain life, they necessarily turn to what to men appears the easier life. The great temptation of dress, the flattering inducements of Oyerseers and the like are causes of much of the sin. feel convinced that the way to bring about the regeneration of society Is the solution of the wage question, especially of the women laborers. Ed ward Bel lamy, in the centralization and nationa lization of manufacturing industries, has the only solution to this problem. For my part I hope that none present will attempt to reach heaven on 50 cents a day. Ii is an impossible struggle.

FRANCE,

The Calais Congrcss-An Immense and
 Enthusiastic Gatherng--Onward for
 Eight Heurs as Legal Work-Day--
 socialixe the Means of Production.
 The Fourth National Congress of the French Federation of Trades Moderation des Syndicats ct groupes corporatifs des ouvriers de France) which was held in Calais from the 18th to the 10th of October, while the strike of the tulle makers of that city was raging with in- creased determination and bitterness, ended with grand mass meeting, at which the following resolution was adopted.
 WHEREAS, All the political parties have betrayed the working class and gwen it nothing but misery and grape shot;
 RcSOired, That the Calaisian popua- ton and the 4,000 Socialists here as- sembled brand as traitors the govern ments of the past and the present gov ernment, ratify all the decisions of the Labor Congress, and acclaim the strike
 
 of the proetariat."
 The delegates, numbering fifty-fve, represented several hundred syndicates (trade,unions) of Paris, Troyes, Thizy, Cours, Lyons, Roanne, Marseilles, Vil- lers, Lile Roubaix, Commentry, Celte, Nantes, Amiens, Corbie, St. Quentin, In,, Eloy, etc,
 The Eight Hour League of England was represented by Dr. Aveling.
 The Congress unanimously demanded the socializatlon of the means of prOduc- tion and the abrogation of all conspiracy laws and all the other laws restraining the free association of workingmen for defensive purposes against the aggres- slons of capital. Among other demands we note: Public education and support | of the children; abolition of the contract system; equal pay for equal work, re gardless of sex; the pensloning of old and disabled workers; the strict liability of employers for accidents; appointment of the factory inspectors by commis- sion of the chdnlbres Syndicdles (trade uniOns), etc, etc.
 To some of the questions issued from | Lyons by the Council, the Congress replied as follows:
 Q.-Are you in favor of the eight-hour workday? A.-Yes.
 Q-What do you think of regulating | by law the hours of labor? A.-Such a law is necessary. Q.-Are you in favor of a general strike?
 A.-Yes, if it is practicable. Q.-Are you in favor of a national understanding first and an international one thereafter? A.-Yes.
 Q-Shall the 1st of May demonstra- | ton be renewed next year, and shall its nature be preserved or changed? | Alt must be renewed and it's pacific character must be preserved. Lastly and unanimously, while Com rade LaChiZe was unfolding an immense red flag, the Congress again replied affirmatively to the four following ques- tions:
 Are you in favor of the legal eight-hour work dayf Are you Tn favor Of holding demon stration on May 1, 1891?
 Are you in favor of the International | Congress of 1891, to be held in Brussels:
 Are you in favor of the miners inter- national strike and will you support it by all the means in your power?
 The Congress then adjourned amid the greatest enthusiasm, with prolonged cheers for the Federation of Trades, United Labor, and the Social Revolu- tion.

 At a meeting held yesterday we or. ganized a Section of the $. L. P. here. Thirty members signed the application for charter.
 We had here a club for the collection of funds in aid of the German Social Democrats in their ReiChstag campaign. Some of the members had been in the party in Germany and some had become attached to the Socialist movement in New York City. When the last cam- paign was opened and we saw that the $. l.. r. had a State ticket we stirred our friends up and, with little agita tiOn, we brought out 125 votes for Fran cis Gerau. Considering that Oneida is a small place with 6,000 inhabitants and that no Socialist agitation has ever been carried on here, this is a most enCOurag. ing result. The effect of it was that our friends came to the conclusion that they must affiliate themselves with the So- Cialist Labor Party.
 The members of the Reichstag Cam paign Fund came together and decided, unanimously, to transform the club into Section of the $. l.. P, The funds of the club will undoubtedly be transferred to the Section, thus giving us the means to carry on the agitation.
