H.. Hyndman, of London, held a
rousng meeting at the Town Hall that was
attended by at least B, 600 people. Chair
man E. j Sale, in opening the proceed

come together to hear from the lips of one
of its ablest opponents the gospel of Social
Democracy. This was cause which
needed the work and en-
ergy of all men and women
for it was quite certain ii one or two men
could have accomplished the revolution,
men like Hyndman would have brought it
about years ago. Although the movement
in Birmingham was backward, yet he could

Immigration and the international
Labor Movement.
We are threatened with number Of bills
during the present session Of Parliament
dealing in one way or another with 80
called foreign competition, "says Lon
don Justice. There are bills to restrict the
immigration of ''pauper Aliens, and
others to in some measure limit the impor-
tation Of foreign goods. All these meas
ures require to be most carefully watched.
We cannot afford to have protection re-
introduced in any guise nor under any pre-
tence, as it would be simply for the
benefit of the landlords and capitalists, who
would take care to reap all the advantages
of the higher prices thus secured. Nor
must we permit the right Of asylum to be
further tempered with on the plea oil
shutting out ''paurers. Our shores
must be free, as they ever have been, for
any refugee from any land. On the other
hand, we must insist upon everything
possible being done to prevent any reduc-
ton in the standard Of living OF our
working classes. We are all for interna'
tional solidarity and are prepared
to welcome any man. no matter what MS
nationality, as a man and brother SO long
as he comes as man and brother; but
our fraternal feelings are not sufficiently
strong to overcome the natural hostility he
would excite if he came to cut our threats.
It does not matter what man nation
ality is so long as he is prepared to assist
in maintaining the present standard OF
living and working with his fellows for
something better. But sweating and
blacklegism are TO better when prac-
ticed by foreigners than when practiced
by Britishers. We of the Social Demo-
cratic Federation carried on success
full agitation against the threatened i'm
portation of the Chinese; not because they
were foreigners, but because they were to
be used by the British capitalists against
u.s. Just as the Socialists of Queensland
day protest against the importation OF
Chinese, Japanese, Coolies and Kanakas,
who are cheap-and nasty-mercenarles
levied by the capitalists, who wage war
against the workman. Let anyone come

ding and to serve the ends of the thieving

The London Printers Trouble.

The fight between the London compost
tors and their principals is still on. The
gauntlet has been thrown downtown the
capitalist camp. Our smart, up to DATE
contemporary, the Morning, is the challen-
ger. For some time past there have been
differences between the compostors and
the managers of that paper, and these
eliminated in the men refusing to go on
with their work unless certain
grievances were redressed. The astute
editor, seeing that his paper would not see
the morning" light unless the mems de-
mands were complied with, took steps to
have them agreed to. But the triumph OF
labor was short lived. On Monday, when
the men went to work, they were just
simply locked out. We do not know what
the next move will be, and although we
have our own opinion about the whole mat
ter it is perhaps best to wait until the pres
ent negotiations between the mems society
and the masters are completed before ad-
vising new line of policy. One thing is
certain: the majority of the men are ripe
for anything.
