series of depredations committed by
the unemployed thousands OF this city
and Of practically every city OF Great
Britain. whose unemployed number
1000 900.
Backed by the Socialists and lead
ers in the party. the unemployed have
demanded that the hunting preserves
OF the nobility be thrown open TO cul-
tlvation, but the demand has gone un-
needed.
These preserves occupy one-tenth
the rural land OF the United Kingdom,
and the champions Of the unemployed
have pointed out 10 the government
that these vast uncultivated tracts
could be made to support in comfort
the family of every unemployed man
in the empire. While no one expects
Thursdays abortive effort TO be sue

terrible condition of the unemployed
so forcibly to the mind of the govern
ment that some comprehensive relief
measure will be proposed.
