When land is worth from 20,000 to 30,000 pounds an acre, some one must pay the landlord.
Mr.W.C.Steadman, in the House of Commons, in a speech concerning his constituency in Stepney, related the following:- This morning, not a hundred yards from where I am myself living, a widow stopped me.

She has six children to support, and the rent of her house was fourteen shillings per week.

She gets her living by letting the house to lodgers and doing a day's washing or charring.
That woman, with tears in her eyes, told me that the landlord had increased the rent from fourteen shillings to eighteen shillings.

What could the woman do?
There is no accommodation in Stepney.

Every place is taken up and overcrowded.
Class supremacy can rest only on class degradation; and when the workers are segregated in the Ghetto, they cannot escape the consequent degradation.
