society was more than the individual, aim and object was to bring about the happi­ ness and well-being of each mdivi'dual. They wanted wealth to be controlled for the benefit of the community, not for the benefit of one individual. He (he speaker) had no doubt that the enteitainment, if it could be so called, would give some very vivid ideas of the free play of our present competitive system. So-, cialism was gaining ground in this as well as in other countries. I'Tom the good receptions accorded to Mr. Cliatterton on his previous visits to Clitheroe, he had no doubt he would be received equally as wall that l ig h t Ihej had come to hear the lecturw and not the ehairman, and he would, Uierefore, ask Mr. Chattel-toll to givo his lecture.


'


Mr. Chatterton, who was well received, said while the lights were being put down and the


preliminary remarks. The subject matter of the lecture was a lantern, in one sense, and not in another. They had taken the oppor­ tunity afforded them by the lantern of illus­ trating their ideas by placing them on the


screen. In another sense it was iiot a lantern lecture, because they were not going to throw on the screen any artistic scenes, nor did he think the pictures w-ould give his .audience any eal pleasure in seeing them. His subject, a.s


thev all knew, was “ The workers of Great and Greater Britain,” but he called it, ‘ 1 he slaves of Gre.at and Greater Britain.” He did not lieve that slavei-y had gone out, although it


might have changed its form. It was possible for them to bo slaves in a different form, and not, as thev were often called, free men .ana free women, but slaves after all. His defini­ tion of- a shave was one who was bound to ohtre men, and whose destinies were absolutely bound up in other men and women. Ihey, .is the wealth producers of this country, must recognise this fact that, to a large extent, their destinies were dominated by a class abw-e them, or who thought Uiey were. _ Ihey did not need to go very far to see this form ot -■ laverv, and wh.at they, .as Socualists. wanted was for all to be free men and women. Ihey wanted them lo coK>per.ate and make their in­ terests as one, with a view to bringing about a better state of things than the present de­ plorable condition. Many of the pictures he .vould slidw wore from photogr.aphs taken
