Norwich, England, Police Over
aWed by the Threats of
the Poor.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OLD LAW
Demand Support From the Local
Guardians" Who in Turn Charge
the Cost Upon the Taxes Of
the Town.

London, Jan. borrowing serious
ness of the unemployment problem in
Great Britain was emphasized by the
action of the unemployed in the city OF
Norwich in awaiting themselves of the
provisions Of the existing poor law and
demanding support from the local
guardians"
These are the officials who admins
ter relief TO the needy. charging the
cost upon local taxes.
The guardians" recently decided not
TO increase the scale of relief work in
Norwich on the ground that the tax
payers were unable to afford ii, but the
chief of police notified them he had re-
ceived a communication to the effect
that if help was not granted the UNI
employed had determined 20 use "di-
rect action
He declared the police did not desire
any disturbance of public order, and
under this threat the guardians"
yielded and doubled the taxes applica-
bic TO feeding the poor. In doing so
the chairman of the guardians" re-
marked it was the first time in the his
tory of the city that the police had
been overawed by threats from the
unemployed.
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay. The ad-
ditional taxes will result in a house
holder who pays an annual rent Of EGO
having more than f72 i'm taxes The
people of Norwich declare it is impos-
sible for them to pay such taxes, as
trade is stagnant.
The action of the unemployed at
Norwich accOrds with advice persist
emily given by labor leaders and fol-
lowed at many places, though with less
serious results than in Norwich. The
Daily Herald, mOuthpiece of labor,
says:
There is no alternative. The unem-
ployed are determined not 10 starve,
and they have proved that in the poor
law they have a weapon TO enforce
justice The increased taxes will be
disastrous TO thousands of people, but
will compel the adoption of radical
measures at Norwich, which has shown
the way TO workers all over the cOun-
try"
Leading labor organize tons rejected
an invitation from the government to
participate in an official inquiry regard
ing unemployment, objecting to the
terms of the proposal.

formed by U. S. Lesh, attorney gen.
eral, that it can not get higher rate
of interest on deposits of state funds
than the rates, varying from TO 4
per cent, fixed by law enacted in

ket, the board members thought the
state might obtain higher rates of in
terest than specified by the law, but
the attorney general held that no dis
cretionary power was vested in the
board 20 change the rate of interest
prescribed by law. The opinion was
the first formal one given by Mr.. Eesh
since he began his term as attorney
