THE UNEMPLOYED.

TO TBS XDITOB OF TOT MS*B. Sir,*—The attitude taken up by tin unemployed, so far as their decision to parade their grievances before otir Royal visitors is concerned, is io say the least, childishf to the extreme, and, to my mind, displays the piierile and limited intelligence of the "leaders" and the sheeplike propensities of the "led." Genuine or not, as the reasons given may be, which are alleged to nave created the presortt epidemic of unemployed, the attitude taken up by thote who are at present out of'work, will have the opposite to the desired effect, and will alienate in no small measure the sympathy of tho employers in particular and the publio in general. 'Hits suggested parade, if carried out, will no doubt create a prejudice .in the mind of every loyal citizen against them and-thus make the task of dealing with tho problem infinitely more difficult.

Whilst being unabie to suggest off hand a solution of the trouble, common sense tells me that, any thing which may retard a remedy or breed antagonism in those whose assistance is sought, is tar better left alone. It is hoped the leaders, and the unemployed generally,' will realise this and adopt a more rational attitude. —Yours, etc.. C. C. AND COLLECTED.
