town. The next one will be held on Sat
urday morning, on the vacant lot on the
corner of Mason and Alameda, at which
time we will hear the report of what
has been done with the petition present.
ed to the mayor.
DR.. o, T. Fellows being loudly called
for, read another petition, which was
published in The Herald of Wednesday.
He invited the crowd to fall in line,
march to the city hall, ard present the
petition first named to the mayor.
The men fell in line, led by DR.. Stevens,
Mr.. Swift, DR.. Fellows and w. c. Bow
man, reached the city hall, and about
100 assembled in the vestibule at the
foot of the stairs.
Mayor Snyder soon appeared On the
stairs, in response to the message con-
veyed to him, and listened intently, evil
IDENTIFY deeply moved by the upturned
faces before him and the pathos of their
errand, while the petition was read by
Mr.. Swift. When the reading was con-
cluded the mayor addressed the crowd.
Il shall not attempt to make an ad-
dress" he 6" id; my heart is too full
for that 1 fully realize your condition
and the condition In which you left your
families when I look in your faces. I
believe you want work, and feel as deep
ly as you do that something must be
done. I will give your petition my
earnest attention at once, as l have al
ready given the subject attention and
tried to devise means to provide en-
ployment. 1t is difficult to provide
means when finances are in the condi-
ton of those of the city of Los Angeles.
l am in favor of issuing bonds, but that
method would be too slow, but promise
to do all In my power for your relief.
in CONJUNCTION with the citizens Of Los
Angeles already interested. You can
trust us, for we will do all we can. Take
TO rash steps, for our citizens are in
sympathy with you, to do all we can for
you"
The mayor then asked IL there was
a board of managers to whom he could
report, and promised to have one ready
for the meeting on Saturday morning.
The following circular was distrib-
uted in the crowd before leaving the
plaza:

The Mavor In sympathy

Mayor Snyder spent most of the after
noon yesterday reading the petitions pre-
sented to him by the unemployed and
listening to a committee on their be-
half. The committee wanted the mayor
to secure a suitable hall for mass meet
ing in the interest of the unemployed,
to be held at the earliest possible mo-
ment. His honor took the matter under
advisement and will tell what he can do
in this respect at the meeting Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The mayor said to Herald reporter
yesterday afternoon that he fully real
ized the gravity of the situation. There
was undoubtedly much suffering that
should be relieved, end he would give
the matter his most earnest consi6 era
ton. He trusted to the good sense and
conservatism of the unfortunate people
out of work not to create any disturb
ance, nor did he believe there would be
any. Both the council and himself We're
in sympathy with their unfortunate fell
low citizens, and they could be relied
upon to do the best in their power for
them.

MARCH FOURTH.
LET THE UNEMPLOYED ALSO IN
AUGURATE!

To the Unemployed of America: On
March 4th there is to be great display
of national wealth and power
in the city of Washington; on
that day there should be an equal
display of the national poverty and suf-
fering everywhere. There are two ma
tions in this country, and the Nation of
Misery should do what the Nation of
Opulence does.
l suggest to all unemployed men who
are in reach of Washington to take
their way there, singly or in small
groups, simply to be seen during the
Inauguration, as proclamation Of their
existence in these United States.
On the day of the presidents inaugu-
ration let them hold convention of the
unemployed, and inaugurate national
organization OF the unemployed. Let
them prepare protest (petitions do no
good) to present to the president at the
hour when he is glorifled. Let this pro-
test be addressed through him to the
Nation of Opulence, inviting their at
tention to the newly organized Nation
of Misery, asking them with stern cour-
tesy what they intend to do.
Starvation has it's limits. Bradley
Martin balls and costly inaugurati tions
in bed of national poverty and tears
have their limits. o millionaires and
Office holders, what do you intend to
do? We demand to know, and we de-
mand that you who have absorbed this
nations wealth relieve this nations
want. You have the means-balls and
inaugurations show 1t. Act, then. and
relieve this want, or you will be held ac-
countable to heaven. earth and hell.
Let the unemployed inaugurate in
other cities on March 4th. While ma
tional politics is inaugurating and bless
ing itself, let national poverty inaugu-
rate and organize itself into permanent
body-the National Unemployed-to
keep itself in the eye of the wealthy
nation until it is considered. fed and
employed.
In the days of monopolists, prayers
are not heard. Power is heard. The
power of solid organizat tion, standing
grim on its divine right not to starve!
call on the unemployed of the ma
ton to organize!

A FIRST STREET FIGHT
Conflicting Stories Told and no Arrests
0ade

ildue
About 10 o'clock last night the con-
tinuous and repeated blowing of about
a dozen police whistles called all the
policemen within hearing to lodging
house on First street just below Will
mington, where a vigorous fight was
found to be on between the proprietor
and an old soldier. who was little the
worse for liquor.
The veteran claimed that the lodging
house keeper had attempted to rob him,
which he did not propose to allow, and
had proceeded to infiict personal chas
tisement. On the other hand the land
lord said that he was merely trying to
eject an unwelcome lodger from ais
place, which precipitated the fight AS
the veteran had lost nothing and there
appeared no way of determining which
story was true no arrests were made.

III. Il. Plants 18th Birthday

Was celebrated Wednesday, all
along his extensive line of railroad
IN Florida, Georgia and Ala bama.
This evidence Of regard and affec-
tion for Mr.. Plant by his en-
ployees, took the form of planting
trees at the variCusstationS along
his lines. In Ocala he was not
forgotten; here too 1T the station
house trees were planted. Among
his prominent lieutenants who
were in Ocala yesterday, were
Capt. Denham, the Joilys and
Mr.. Purden. At Tampa and
Waycross this celebration was
particularly noticeable, as these
two cities appreciate M. Plant s
worth il largely making them
the centers Of thrift and trade
they have become.
