LANDING OF LABoRERS,
MI. Gardner Finds Secretary straus'
Statement Inadequate.

The committee on immigration and nat
uralization yesterday considered Secretary
Straus' reply to the resolution of the
House. introduced by Mr.. Gardner of Mas
sachusetts. asking his opinion as to the
lawfulness of the landing of alleged con-
tract laborers.
The opinion was expressed in committee
that the Secretary's answer had been trans
mitted in misapprehension of the purport
Of the resolution. 1t merely deals with the
question as to whether or not Commissions,
Watson of South Carolina transgressed a
penal statute.
This is very different question" said
Mr.. Gardner today, from the question
whether or not the alleged contract laborers
We're lawfully landed"
= The committee will reach Il decision soon
'as to whether it will be necessary to pre-
sent new resolution to the House.

LONDON, February 23.-The greatest
popular demonstration seen in London in
! many years occurred this afternoon when
| uncounted thousands marched through the
principal streets to Trafalgar Square where
| a mass-meeting was held in opposition to
the socialistic policy Of the London county
council The municipal reformers We're
themselves astonished at the evidence given
of the popular revolt against the extrava-
gance and incompetence shown in munic
altownership experiments which have SO
damaI ed Londons credit.
The procession was more than mile long
and included many unique features Fifty
men carried hods of rotten bricks from the
councils famous - brick me- king, yards al
Norbury. 'others carried some OF the coun-
ellis surplus Austrian blankets from lot
of two thousand unloaded upon the munich
pality because q requ:sition for two hun

crowds along the route.
Many Floats in Line.
Cartoons and election notices without
number were carried upon draws and lloa g.
A huge representation of a county council
steamboat was nscribea lone man, one

Down with the Wastrels" the cry
most frequently heard among the cheering
multitude. The enthusiasm was greatest
in Trafalgar Square. which WAS literally
packed, many thousands. being unable to
get within earshot of Nelson's monument,
which was used q roStrum.
There were speeches by half q dozen
members of the house cf commons and
leaders of the snunicipal reform parry
and the meeting adopted resolution
setting forth that this mass-meeting of
London rate-payers Indignantly protests
against the increasing burden of rates
caused by the progressive socialist party
and pledges itself to exert every effort to
turn the-wastrels out on March and place
in power the party of municipal reform
London is now plastered from end to end
with election posters and cartoons, and it
is not exaggeration to say that public inter-
estsin the pending campaign surpasses that
in a national election. This argues well for
the reform movement, for If heavy vote
LIS. cast nothing can prevent the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the party which has had con-
Etrol of municipal affairs for the past eight
=een years.
Municipal ownership, it should be remem-
bered, is the sole issue involved, and it Is
upon the first great and thorough test of
this policy that London will pass judgment
"a week hence.
