The explanation is probably that labor does not feel the wrong which the Star dis- covers. In all great matters, such as \the tariff and the public expenditure, its interests are identical with those of its employers who have the capital and the leisure to sit in par- liament, In minor matters, such ag factory legislation, compensation for injuries, strikes, wages, hours and the like; it is best served by the bidding for its favor by the rival parties. Were it to follow the Star's advice and form a labor party it might fare worse than it does now. Powerful forces which are now divided might rally against it.
