THE BEGGARS' STRIKE.
OBJECTION TO APPOINTED
GUARDIANS.
CRIPPLED DELEGATES AT MASS MEETING.
Sanged (U.P.):-Known as "The Beggars' Strike," this town has just witnessed one of the most unusual incidents in the history of Southern Hungary.
Due to the fact that the beggars of Szeged had grown to incon- venient proportions, the citizens in self-defence were forced to adopt measures separating the genuinely destitute townspeople from others who came in from the countryside surrounding towns because they found begging easier than working. This separation having been ac complished and the outsiders have been escorted to the outskirts of the city and told to clear out, the re- maining genuine Szeged beggars were told that there would no longer be any necessity for them to beg' since the municipality had arranged that gach beggar was to have a guardian appointed.

This guardian was to visit the| Oriental Cotton 781 buy. beggar once a month and to "pay for his or her board and lodging, out of funds supplied by the Church community.
A Police Order. On January 1 the new system was put in force and simultaneously the police isaued an order pro hibiting begging throughout the
town.
For about one month the system worked to perfection. Szeged was free from beggars, and the beggars had free board and lodging: But "before" two months was up the system of organized charity com- menced to palk on the beggars They missed fun of begging, missedTM the uncertainty of knowing whether their efforts would reap a windfall or a kick: missed the uncertainty of knowing when they were going to eat and where they were going to sleep.
They decided to call a mass meet. ing to air their grievance.-
Effective Measures."
With admirable courtesy they sent two cripped delegates to iu form the police of the date and the place of the meeting, and the names of the beggars who desired to address it, but the police refused to grant them the perini without which no public meeting may be held in Hungary.
