On Saturday last, those who call themselves the unemployee, but
are, many of them, the unemployable, assembled on Tower Hill and marched to Trafalgar Square, where they held a meeting. The police designated the Embankment as the proper route for the procession, but to this the demon- strators would not agree, and a determined, though unsuc- cessful, attempt was made by them to force their way up Fleet Street. The result was a severe scrimmage with the police, and the injury of a good many people, including the "organiser of the Social Democratic Federation," Mr. John E. Williams, who received "a nasty blow in the month, a semi-' black' eye, and several scalp wounds." Five persons in all asked for treatment at St. Bartholomew's and the Charing Cross Hospital. At Trafalgar Square, a resolution was passed, which ended, "This meeting further expresses its opinion that if work is denied them, the unemployed are morally justified in helping themselves to the accumulations of wealth created by their own toil." "A London Citizen," writing to Monday's Times, says that he heard one of the speakers say, "The shops around you are full of stolen property; go and take it ; if you are men, you will not let twenty-four hours pass without helping yourselves to your own property."
