and stunted babies of the Philadelphia
mill, in this city? We are going to Oyster
Raw and hope the President will 500 us.
But before that we want the people to sec
ma Now what's the Use OF all this fuss
about parade? Didn't Prince Henry

The Mayor telephoned for Commissioner
Ebstein TO come to City Hall forthwith.
The Major came and changed his mind and
agreed to give Mother Jones a parade per-
nit if she could get a permit from the Park
Department to speak in Madison Square.
secretary Terry of the Park Department
said over the telephone that that would be
impossible because there was to be band
concert in the park last night, He sug-
gested Washington Square, but the army
didn't want Washington Square.
Finally Commissioner Ebstein gave a
parade permit TO march from the head
quarters at 81 East Fourth street, where
the army had been slowed, and hold an
open air meeting at Madison avenue and
rwenty-seventh street, Just outside the
Park.
That was satisfactory, so the army
marched and talked. There We're only
forty-fve marchers. The reserves OF nine
police precincts, three inspectors, half
dozen captains and a score Of sergeants
were out to see that nothing happened.
Inspector Schmttberger started the crowd
of from East Fourth street, and turned
The crowd over to Inspector Mclaughlin
at Second avenue and Fourteenth street.
Inspector Walsh was in charge at the meet
ing place. About 900 people were there,
all told.
Mother Jones was tired and hoarse and
didn't talk more than half a minute her
self She announced that tonight she
would talk in Madison Square Park about
child labor.
Benjamin Hanford, former Socialist can
d!date for Mayor. pitched into the police
and Major Ebstein. The Major, he said,
refused a permit for this meeting yester-
day because he's scoundrei To-day
he consented because he's coward. He
backed down because he was told TO by that
snob, Mayor Low, who is disgrace 10
civilization"
Just then the man who was taking up
The collection passed the hat to Major
Ebstein The Major didn't contribute.
Hartford said something about killing
capitalists and finally subsidized when one Of
the committee pulled his coat tails
After the meeting Mother Jones was
escorted to her hotel by John $. Crosby,
president Of the Single Tax Association.
She said that she didn't approve Of Mr..
Hanford's remarks. Commissioner Eb-
stein said that Mother Jones could have
another parade permit tonight.
The army will stay in this borough and
In Brooklyn the rest of this week. On
