MR. WILL THORNE ON HIS STRUGGLES.

My Lire's EATTLE, Will Thorné, M.P.

This "autobiography of the most per sistent and consistent agitator (as he calls himself) surviving from the band et enthusiasts who gave the first real impetus to the trade union movement is a document worthy of study-apart from its human interest-for the clear line it traces from the first stirrings of half a century ago to the revolutionary more of to-day Mr. Thorne, now 68, has t

When he was married at the age of 9 neither he nor hia wife could write their name in the register, and mach of his education was obtained in later years from a daughter of Karl Marx. It was his early experiences of deplor able industrial conditions that inspired him to create in 1889 the National Upion. of Gas Workers and General Labourers." the largest organisation of the kind in the world, the destiny of which he has mainly guided ryg since.

Taoyin Chang first made a report of the circumstances, states the Mengkn pao, which deals with the outbreak of trouble in the mills. He suggested it ways and means should first be de vised to persuade the workers to resume work and then to open negotiations with the Japanesa Consul-General.

In conneeton with the incident the Japanese Consal General in Shanghai, Mr. S. Yada, wrote on September 25th to the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs stating that so shots were fired by the Japanese. The trouble was caused by the workers themselves. The Commis sioner has been' requested to instruct the police authorities concerned to afford every protection to the mills.

As a result of the disturbance, the mills will probably remain idle for some time.
