Storming a Cathedral

By Editor

Storming a Cathedral.—Despatches say that on September 6, two thousand Socialists and unemployed, after listening to a number of violent speeches in an open air meeting in Glasgow, attempted to invade a cathedral during the Sunday service. A large body of police succeeded in dispersing the rioters. The threat is being made to meet 50,000 strong on a later date to attack the municipal buildings. We have reason to believe that the majority of the Socialists condemn all such violent measures. We have further reason to believe that a great many things are hastily attributed to the Socialists that they are not responsible for, except in so far as the strong speeches that many of them make have the tendency of stirring up turbulent feelings through inciting class hatred.
