HARD TIMES
IN ENGLAND
Authorities Apprehensiye Over the
Great Army of the Unemploy'

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
LONDON, Dec. 21-Though everyone
in the great English metropolis appears
to be preparing for the Christmas fes-
tivities just now, with &he shops doing
a big business and everyone apparently
spending money freely. those who see
under the surface of things detect un-
mistakable evidences of the approach OF
hard times. Though London always has
standing army of unemployed 1t Is
quite evident of late that it's ranks are
being recruited at startling rate
The fact that 1t has been deemed
advisable to resuscitate the old man.
sion house committee on the unem-
ployed shows which way the kind is
blowing. Those interested in the mat
ter express the hope that the commit
tee will change it's plan of procedure
so that substantial and beneficial re-
suits may be accomplished.
| The committee was formed a num-
Der of years ago just after the West
End had been terrorized by the win
dow smashing by a crowd of hungry
men marching in riotous procession
from a meeting in Trafalgar square
The alarm created by this demonstra- :
ton opened the pockets of the million
aires of Mayfair and Belgravia, and
money flowed freely into the commit
tees treasury.
1t was" distributed. however, in sc
foolish and indiscriminate manner that
in the opinion of many expert workers
among the poor. it did more harm thar
good. 1t undoubtedly attracted t.
London whole army of loafers from
the provinces and the result was tina
the worthy unemployed were cheated
out of their share of the relief funds.
A novel plan for the relief of th'
rapidly increasing number of unem
ployed has been proposed and Is jus
now the subject of much discussion
This is that the government acquire tn
large areas of derelict lands in Esse,
and Suffolk and give profitable an
healthful employment to many thou
sands OF men In the work of afforest
ing the lands.
