GERMAN UNEMPLOYED.
DEMONSTRATION AT BERLIN. INTERFERING POLICE CAUSE BLOODSHED. Berlin, January 22. Twelve thousand unemployed met at Berlin and demanded that the State should undertake building works and pay trade union wages. They also demanded the removal of food taxes and the immediate institution of municipal ! relief works. They repudiated the acceptance of charity. Armed policy provoked some disorder by unnecassary interference. Thinking some of the unemployed were trying to force a passage over a bridge, they drew their sabres and unmercifully slashed many, until pools of blood were lying in the streets. The newspaper Vorwaertsz estimates that there are 60,000 unemployed at Berlin.
