THE UNEMPLOYED
Speaking at Brooklyn, Mr. W. H. Sadd, a Labour candidate for the Hospital Board, criticised statements made by Mrs. it' Vicar and Mrs. Preston that an army of "beggars and loafers" pleaded for relief first and after the second application demanded the "relief." Mr. Sadd exprossed the opinion that by such utterances these ladies, proved they were lacking in sympathy. The services of the Hospital Board should be given as freely to the relief of the unemployed workers' necessity as were the services of the !Piro Brigade. In tho latter case the question of cither pleading or demanding was never raised; it was simply a matter of rendering, the service, and it should bo, so when poverty had lo bo dealt with. Mr. .Sadd stated that the proof that the unemployed wanted neither to beg nor to loaf could be.found at Buckle street, where thousands were struggling to get work at the poor rates fixed under No. 5 Scheme.
