THE UNEMPLOYED
(lIV Er.ECTKIC TKLKGRAPH.—COPYHIOHT.) London, November 24. Mil Wynne E. Baxter, coroner for East London, in the course of his remarks at an inquest to-day, expressed surprise that the unemployed did not proceed to Australia, where, ho declared, it was impossible for them to starve. Tt is reported that many of the unemployed who are volunteers, and have been attending the meetings at Tower Hill, have retained their rifles and ignore the order to return them for inspection. The leaders of those out of employment deny the accusation.
The unemployed have decided on a torch light procession through the principal streets at midnight, but the day is kept secret. The various Agents- General have been interviewed by the leaders of the unemployed as to the chances of the latter obtaining work in the colonies. Sir Saul Snmnol (N.S.W.) said it would be useless to send labourers and artisans to Sydney. Mr W. B. Perceval (N.Z.) denounced immigration societies and said it was futile for indigent people to go to New Zealand. Sir M. Fraser (W, Australia) declared that there was on opening in Perth for men willing to work on the land.
