All of a sudden this faker yelled
out to the other man: What the

to go to work? They are all talk
ing about hard times. Then when
you ask them if they are willing
to go to work they refuse; they are
too lazy.

Then two young men came along.

faker, say yer or no. | don't want
any dilly dallying. One of the
young men finally asked where the
work was, down at the City Supply
House; $3.50 a day, replied the
faker. Alright replied the young
men.

phony, especially coming from this
faker. A few days afterward I

yelled that the questions were all
irrelevant. The crowd booed this
remark, and demanded the right
to have an answer to what they
wanted to know.
Reverend" DR.. Leon Rosser,
the chairman, then arbitrarily
closed the discussion and question
period, ann the majority of the
crowd got up and marched out,
singing the International. The
organ was played loudly but the
singing nearly drowned out the
instrument.
Those marching from the hall
swelled a meeting of some 600
workers and jobless who had been
barred from entering by the
police and were holding meet
ing across the street in protest
against the Fish Committee. The
main speaker was Philip Harrison,
member of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil who had come down with a
little list of questions to ask Mr..
Fish: "What are you going to do
ABBOTT the 100000 unemployed ?
Wasn't the U. S. government es-
tablished by a revolution? Doesn't
the constitution guarantee trial by
jury and the right to peaceably
assemble? etc Harrison was
barred from the debate" and
was one of those organizing the
protest meeting. Jessie Taft,
young worker, Harper, young
worker, and others spoke. Those
leaving the hall reported on events
within, and the crowd was pre-
pared to continue the discussion
with Fish when he came out. But
this "world war hero" decided not
to meet the public just then, and
with heavy guard of dicks
around him, slipped from the back
door, and wading through the
mud of a construction job, his

Sharpen Fight

LONDON.-As part OF the in
creased battle between Great Britain
and the United States for the Latin
American markets, the British auto
mobile bosses announced that they
will conduct a price war in order to
win trade away from their Wall
Street competitors.
According to an announcement
made here recently the plan for 1881
in this respect includes the follow
ing points:
l. More complete domination of
the home market; higher duties
against American cars.
2. A concentrated campaign for
foreign business, with its sharpening
of an antagonism between the two
bandit powers.
3. Lower prices. This means
wage cuts for the British workers.
The American automobile bosses
will retaliate with further price cuts
and lower wages.
AS the competition FOR automobile
markets is most severe in Latin
America, the British auto bosses
will concentrate their attention on
this field first. A grouping of auto
mobile capitalists, known as the
observation-disclosures combine.
has already been formed for this
purpose. The main object of this
combine is to increase British auto
sales in Latin America in opposi.
ton to American car bosses. This
industry will be represented by

exhibition at Buenos Aires. The
