brings the total number in New Eng

practically every cotton mill in Rhode

In that state nearly 10000 operatives

Demarest Lloyd and to the work to
which he gave his life, has been free
ly given in a great massmeeting at
the Auditorium. Every phase of the
activity of the writer ard thinker was
taken up, and in each was found, by
the speakers, new evidence of his loft
mess of character, correctness of judg-
ment and soundness of reason.
The words of appreciation had add
ed meaning from the fact that those
who uttered them had been closely as
socfated with Mr.. Lloyd hnd spoke
from personal knowledge and expert
ence. From Miss Jane Adams and
Mayor Saul H. Jones, of Toledo. came
Endorsement of the abstract sociologi-
cal and ethical doctrines advocated bv
the reformer. From John Mitchell
and Clarence Barrow came acknowl-
edgemeIt of the concrete good wrought
by the practical application of the
ideals
Others who addressed the gathering
touched on other traits of Mr.. Lloyd
Edwin d. Mead, of Boston, lauded his
constructive ability in refutation OF
the charges of some that he was mere
ly a critic. Mr. Meade quoted the
opinions of Robert Louis Stevenson
who wrote that Mr.. Lloyd had not
