Labor has a right to remain free and this right must be defended; ° There is no danger of a return to old-, fashioned slavery, but there is a real; danger of the new-fashioned Kind,| which binds men with fetters of fear, | and. poverty, and ignorance, and in- | sists that only so can they be made to do their share of the world’s toil. | The fear that makes men cringe be- fore their employer simply because) he is their employer, and because he | holds their lives and those of their - families at his mercy—this fear is not consistent with human freedom, Is not conducive to political progress, , ‘and is a breeder of revolution, and as such it must be done away. Labor) has a right to insist that if a mao is able and willing to work he should not be dependent for continued - istence upon any Man or any set . Labor has a right to senders of speech and freedom of- action,¢; and there must be no intimation from any quarter, high or low, em such freedom will mean loss of ‘em- ployment or industrial black~- aed The employer who insists upon per fect Ireedom of action in threategdng | or dismissing his employees ia al en-! emy of our present civilization and the worst foe of the employing class.

The feeling to-day is-that this means not only the necessities of life, but also some of the luxuries. | Labor haa a right to a comfortable home, suitable and sufficient recrea- ton, constant and effictent medical, attention, and provision for old age If tt be objected that certain Indts-' triea cannot afford this, + answer is that the nation “cannot afford these industries. If it be contended that a lving wage | will mean inability to compete with the underpaid workmen of other lands, we answer that If other na- tions can afford to degrade their workmen Canada cannot, and will) not. And we cannot lose sight of the| fact thal the civilization of a commtry | and its wage-rate are very closely oon-| nected. If Canada is to have a high| civilfzation she cannot pay a low! wage \ But equally as important aai the) rate of wages is the matter of*edu cation, and this is even more funde-' mental If any country is to advance | it must stregs the education of its people. We realize that this means) sometimes revolution, but it means at least well-regulated and wige revolu- tion. What the world needs ant As not less light, but more; not inabil- ity to grasp intelligently the isstéd of the day, but ability to reason out our | problems to a safe and satisfagtory | answer We need books; we need | manual training; but above all, we need wise and progressive taachers. who love the truth and follow ever! after righteousness. \ And Labor has a right to its proper) share in the government of the coun-| try. We do not favor class represen-! tation very much; but if it be the only alternative to class non-repre- sentation, then we see no way out. of it. A man has no right to be in Par- Hament aimply because he is a black-! smith or a cooper, but on the other! haud he has no right to be shut out because of this fact. Of course we shall be told that in this country one man has just as good a chance politi- cally as another; but while this’ may be true, theoretically, practically it seems to work out mostly to thé ¢x- clusion of poor men ‘from our fegis- lathres. If this be not true to the facts we Bhall be glad to know if upon and-that ts that the men who do the work of our country shall be represented in our legislatures. by low crattsmen, but still men who un- derstand their needs and who in the legislature and oyt of it shall be in sympathy with the toilers of the eoun- try = . = We have argued for the right* of Labor; "we should like to emphasize| also its duties. There is growing up in this and other lands 4 hs belief that a man-should seek-te make as good) y a living as possible with the lowest| possible minimum of toil; and we have a right fo insist upon the old, old truth that men must labor. “La- bor is essential to the life of the.race, ly soto ita development,_and is necessarily fundamental to civiliza- tion..

Now this ts not ‘Wearly so popular as the insistence upon the rights of | Labor, but it is just as trut, and we fear that in certain cases it is just as | necessary. Capital in the past has | insisted upon this duty of Labor, and has failed to insist upon its own, and the moment a man begins to talk a- bout the duty of Labor we are apt ‘to suspect that he has some secret sympathy with the old-fashioned in- dividual who worked men like ma- chines until they were worn out and then threw them away But We are arguing not from the point of view of the eapitalist, but from the point) of view of Labor Itself. If Labor ts to Hive and live comfortably, then La- bor must toil; and if one class of La-| bor insists upon ita rights and for- gets its duties other classes of labor | Wit suffer for it.

While we re- gret the passing of a life sacrificed! to make a apectacle for gaping! crowds, the emotion Is somewhat les- | sened by the fact that it was unnec-! essary—danger inturred to get mon- ey that might have been acquired in| less perilious ways. *Life is hazar-/ dous enough at any time without the| artificial stimulus of risks that might! have been avoided. There are lawa| to prevent people from attempting! suicide, but if a person chooses to invite death by going over’ Niagara in a cask or changing aeroplanes 1,- 000 feet above terra firma it is his persomal privilege. There is a nob- ility in an act of courage or daring performed for some real purpose. To make it heroic it must be purposeful and jneséHish. The man who risks his life to save a comrade's is a hero, even if the life he perils is worth more to the world than that he res- cués; he has been moved by a noble impuise. A silly woman once de- claréd a man a coward because he re- fused to plunge into a torrent to res- eue her dog. On hearing of her com- ment he merely gaid: “It wasn’t worth it." He had the Y.
