He has been refused a room at the Trades Hall, a'nd on one occasion when the Trades Hall was invaded by himself and his associates, the police were called and he was ordered off the premises. This morning a meeting of unemployed was called Iby the Unemployment Committee of the Trades and Labour Council, and the unemployed wefre asked whether they were going to follow Higgins or whether they were content with, the Unemployment Committee. After addresses had been given by both sides, a motion was carried expressing confidence in the CoSmmittee.
