British Premier Brings Up
Subject Of Unemployed.
PLANS MEASURE OF RELIEF
Government Prepared to Provide a
Fund Of $1,5o0,ooo to Assist the
Army of Idle and the Admiralty Is
Expediting Its Naval Programme.
Proposal Falls Far Short of Meeting
tho Demands Of Labor Members.

London, Oct 22.-The very serious
matter of the unemployed in England
came up for discussion in the house
of commons, but larger dole of
money than last year and the expedit-
ing of the naval shipbuilding pro-
gramme were the only expedients
proposed by Premier Asquith in his
unfolding of the governments plan to
meet the situation.
The gravity of the case, arising
from the fact that hundreds OF thou
sands are on the verge Of starvation
through lack of work, was fully rec
ognized by the premier, but he said
he could not undertake, in the legis
lative field, to grapple with the per
manent causes thereof until the next
session. The government, he said
was prepared to provide fund oi
$1,500 900 to help the unemployed and
the admiralty was giving out orders
for the construction Of nine torpedo
boat destroyers and five unarmored
cruisers, to cost total Of $12,500,000
two months earlier than originally
had been intended. The premier
made also a bid for recruits, saying
that the war Office was ready to take
on 24,O0O men for winter training II
the special reserves.
These proposals quite fail to NEE

Boston some time ago. was arraigned

arrest in Boston followed soon after.
a case has been brought in city court
against A. G. Hathaway. who is charged
with not having properly guarded the
space in the lake from which he had cut
ice. In consequence Of this alleged
neglect, C. orgc Shepard skated into the
space Monday afternoon and was
drowned. The case will be heard Satur-
day. Grand Juror ii. ~. Shaw
