APPEAL TO BALFOUR
WIVES AND WOMEN RELATIVES
OF UNEMPLOYED INVOKE AID
!. OF BRITISH PREMIER.

London, Nov. 6.-The desperate con-
dltlon OF the poor of London was
brought TO the notice Of Premier Bal
o during the day by an enormous
crowd Of wives and other women rel.
atiyes Of the unemployed, who did not
hesitate TO tell the premier that unless
something is speedily done to lessen
their sutferings there viii be blood
shed.
forget that hungry men are
desperate men," said one of the speak
ers, all of whom had the same tale to
tell of husbands out OF work and starv-
ing wives and children. The pinched
faces and tattered clothing of the
women, some OF whom had babies in
their arms, bore eloquent testimony of
the truth OF the complaints. Enormous
crowds of women from all parts Of
London marched through the streets,
headed by a deputation which Mr.. Bal
four received at the Office of the local
government board.
The "Alarsellaise' was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time it was eve heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets of London.
Only thirty women were admitted TO
the presence Of Mr.. Balfour. The pre-
mier was very sympathetic. He ac-
k~nowledged that the evil was very real
but he had little to suggest in the way
of alienation except an expression of
hope that public charity would come
to the aid of the unemployed.
At a mass meeting later the reply
of Mr.. Balfour was declared unworthy
Of the head Of a great nation and his
name was repeatedly Kissed.
