An evidence of it is reflected in a paragraph from London stating that a labor member of parliament from Manchester, president of the National Union of General Workers, was howled down while trying to ad- dress a meeting of the unemployed at Camberwell in the metropolis. He was obliged to desist, a large section of the audience shouting, “We want revolution!

These Washingtonians have enlisted for the war. They are not quitters or deserters. No one knows better than Wash- ingtonians that nothing worth while is ever won without a fight. To retain financial equity in the re- lations between nation and capital they have for years struggled desper- ately against overwhelming odds. Sev- eral times they have resumed fighting after the official count of nine against them and after the opposition had ap- parently scored a knockout. They are fighting today with as much pluck and vigor as ever, and were nevel more confident of winning a final sub- stantial victory in their campaign for American fair play. Why should the Washingtonian think it will be easier for him to win for himself political equity than it been to retain financial equity? The 437,000 Americans of the Dis- trict are so clearly entitled to every American right, privilege and power not inconsistent with national control of the capital that the demand in their behalf made by the pending consti- tutional amendment will in the end, if unwaveringly pushed, be irresistible. Of course, thoughtful Washing- tonians will not be diverted from cam- paigning for the vital power of na- tional representation by the suggestion of easy victory if they will limit them- selves to fight for the minor local-lin Europe for some weeks appraising government concession, promised by [the situation there, has sailed for - |about the relief of the present situa- has | intervene. however difficult their condition may {be.

There is little, if any, senti- ment in favor of it in this country, and the suggestion is unwelcome to all but a few in Cuba. And the few Cubans who favor it have less thought tion than of permanent American oc- cupation. They want Cuba made American territory. At the same time, if intervention is, or becomes, necessary, America must Cuba: agreeing, we have made ourselves responsible for order in the island, and if disorder prevails or impends we must take charge, It is likely that the situation has been exaggerated to us. At present, a “jumpy” spirit is abroad in the world, and is being played upon gen- erally for one purpose or another.

A large percentage of the former are ex-soldiers and saflors, ‘whose jobs were not restored to them ‘when they returned from the service. ‘This was not because of any lack of patriotic appreciation, but from tHe fact that there were no jobs to be given them. Before the war began there was a surplus of labor in Eng- land and despite all efforts to dis- tribute it through the labor bureaus maintained by the government there was such congestion in the larger centers that the average unskilled wage earner was able to work only about three or four days a week, ‘while many of the skilled workers could not be sure of continuous em- ployment. Now the situation is so bad that hundreds of thousands of men and women are at the point of dbstitution. The government is undertaking to “wre for them by allotments of funds, % these are meager, and the cost of ~ing is high. Yet in some cases there is a stubborn spirit on the part of the unemployed. For example, it is reported that there is a great short- age of domestic!servants and that women are refusing to accept service at the extraordinarily high rate of 25 shillings a week, preferring to sub- sist on the government pittance rather than enter households in this capacity.
