'Hooray!' shouted Philpot, leading off a cheer which was taken up
enthusiastically by the crowd, 'Hooray! This is where WE comes in,' he
added, nodding his head and winking his goggle eyes at the meeting.

'I wish to call the chairman to horder,' said the man on the pail.

When Owen had finished writing in the list of occupations several
members of the audience rose to point out that those engaged in the
production of beer had been omitted. Owen rectified this serious
oversight and proceeded:

'As most of the people in number four are out of work at least one
quarter of their time, we must reduce the size of this division by one
fourth--so. The grey part represents the unemployed.'

'But some of those in number three are often unemployed as well,' said
Harlow.

Yes: but as THEY produce nothing even when they are at work we need not
trouble to classify them unemployed, because our present purpose is
only to discover the reason why there is not enough produced for
everyone to enjoy abundance; and this--the Present System of conducting
our affairs--is the reason of the shortage--the cause of poverty. When
you reflect that all the other people are devouring the things produced
by those in number four--can you wonder that there is not plenty for
all?'

'"Devouring" is a good word,' said Philpot, and the others laughed.

The lecturer now drew a small square upon the wall below the other
drawing. This square he filled in solid black.
