Friends Tell Friends: THE FOUR PARTIES TO INDUSTRY By W. I. MacKenzie King, 32 Pages. Probably there is no man in Can- ada who has a greater knowledge of industrial conditions and disputes than the Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King, the newly elected leader of the Cana- dian Liberal party. For many years he spent his time settling and inves- tigating labor troubles in this coun- try, and his experience as Minister istration made him even more inti- mately acquainted with the funda- men causes of disagreement in in- dustrial matters. Thus it is with more than passing interest that one picks up this little book which bears his name. I is in reality a verbatim report of a speech made by him before the Empire Club of Canada in the King Edward Hotel, March of this year. In it he tries to point out a remedy for all the labour troubles which are the cause of seo much distress in the world at the Toronto, in . | present time. Before discussing his plan to rem- -|edy matters, he gives his conception ;' of the various _ {the solution of labour problems. . gives as the four parties of indus- : try as they appear to him in order interested in He arties of importance. First, there is La- .{bour, which supplies the mental and muscular energy necessary to carry lon industry. Next, there is Capital, which is necessary to provide the raw materials, tools, appliances and equipment essential to industrial pro- cesses, and to make the advances in the way of food, clothing and shelter | required by labour pending the dis- | tribution of the finished product. The {third party, as Mr. King sees it, is | Management, or Directing Ability, a | quite different thing from Capital, as it is in the nature of personal advice | to industry, whereas Capital gives only material service to industry. The | | fourth party is the community, that entity which is sometimes spoken of a: organized society, under whose sanction all industry is carried on, and by whose continuous co-operation with the other parties of industry, production, distribution and exchange | are rendered possible, How these four parties are entirely dependent upon each other is stated as follows, "Not only are the four parties necessary to industry, but they are equally necessary to one another. Capital can do nothing without Las bour, Labour can do nothing without capital. 'Neither Labour nor Capital can co-operate effectively in indus- try save under the guiding genius of its genius, can do nothing apart from the opportunities and privileges the Community affords." Taking this as the basis for his solution of all labour difficulties, Mr. King proceeds to say, "If all four par- ties are necessary to industry, and equally necessary to each other, then surely, all four should have some voice in the control of industry, and with d to the conditions under which their services to industry are rendered." Then follows a thorough discussion of the various ways in which this ota} eantrol can he attained. Cantrol y r is regarded as monopolis- tic as comtrol by Capital, and con- trol by the community is also « ed as hopeless. There must a transition to a basis of a four-corner- ed partnership, in which all four par- ties shall, by conference, have a say in the control of industry.

He tries to enlist, but a weak consti- tution bars him from service in the Canadian army. And so the story goes on, telli through the lives of the principals an their various activities, of the various in mood and temper of the péople of the town as time passed on and it became mo.» and more evident that America would have to get into the scrap, The enlistment of some Sabinsport men for service in the armies of several of the allied nations business created by munition contracts, bring the war home to them very closely, but enthusiasm for inter- vention does not come until the Ger- man su rine campaign and the tales brought home from Belgium and Serbia by the two principal girls in the story rouse their passions. Then the eyes of Ralph are opened. He finds out that he has been made the tool of Otto Littman and his German the other girl elopes with Grosset, after that worthy has made off with the city's funds. This is & story which does not end in the conventional manner, and the reader is kept in a kind of sus until the last page is reached. re is in it a fresh note of realism--in the sturdy integrity and contagious Jouthfulnsss and good humour of Sam aig. This is a romance which is rendered very charmin, ged setting, and it sh rate holiday reading. BLUE BONNET OF THE SEVEN STARS By Lela Horn Richards, 238 Pages. Price $1.50.
