add to cart   close window

This article presents brief descriptions of several recent international politico-legal and social issues and events. It reports that in Trade-Union Hall of Paris, France, at the end of an alley in the dirty workingmen's quarter where every one of France's four revolutions has had its birth, there had been a Socialist and labor meeting on November 10, 1918. It was open only to those who could show a Socialist party card or a union card, but three thousand workingmen and women squeezed into the hall, and the court behind the half was packed with more of them, straining to catch the speakers' words. The article further considers the election issue and the November 16th meeting of the Central Hall, London, England. This meeting marked the opening of election campaign for 1918.
