Last sum- mer she visited Vancouver, where she heard thather Chinese friend was living, and after some search she found Yat Chos in the Chinatown of that? city. He told her that he had just returned from a visit to his home in China, and there he found to his delight that the neighborhood was'revolutionized, heathen worship to agreat extent abandoned, while his own kinsfolk had been converted to Christ. These results had all come about because a colporter had been faithfully carrying the Scriptures from doOr to door, and bearing testi- mony to the Saviour of whom they speak.

It’is unfortunate and it. seems par- adoxical that with all our advant- ages of mechanical‘ prg.-du<:tion we do not produce and never have pro- duced enough goods to afford a “liv- ing wage” of at least $1,800 a year to every worker. Nor can such a wage be had merely for the demanding. The labor unions must change their attitude toward production and recognize that higher wages depend on more production and cannot be had for less. Employers must bend every efi‘ort to diminish the over- head cost cf production and at the same time admit the obligation to pay to labor a part of what they make by better manufacturing-meth- ;_od_s. Employers who do act in that There is no inexhaustible reser- voir of money from which wages can be paid. Wages do not come from capitali, but from profits. Cap- ital is locked. up in. the instruments of production. It is not enough for ~Iatbor leaders to insist on a living wage and. expect employers to pro- duce it from some vast and idle st) 21: of money that does not exist. The only way that-the employers can pay? better wages to the men who work for'them is by doing more business, selling more goods and getting more‘ money for them. ‘In considering the living wage some things have to be remembered. A living wage in New York or Chi- cago is not the same thing as a liv- ing wage in a village of Florida or Vermont, and attempts to “stand- ardize” wages are consequently un- fair. A considerable proportion of the wage earners are not heads of families, and not. a few families number two or three or four wage earners among them. Finally, there is the obstinate fact, which some hu- manitarians forget, that a living wage in order to be paid must be earned. ' t ough some ofthem unfortunately d .not. ' (The Youth’s companion.) - ~ In every discumion of the labor problem of late we hear much men-~ tion ofthef‘living wage.” That is interpreted to mean, not thewage that is sufficient to-maintain the worker himself in comfort, but the wage that without hardship will support the family of four or five persons that is supposed to be de-i pendent on him. It is much to be desired that every worker in the country have not only a living wage but a wage sufi‘icnent for ample liv- ing. Every industry would be on safer foundations if that were possi- ble; most employers realize ’it, CONVERSION PROPOSALS lit-her Papers’ Opinions ‘R'w "'" W 5%: ...'
