LABOR NEWS
THE PORTENT
! Looking over the proceedings of
the Toronto convention, as reported
by the Various news agencies, one be
comes convinced that the "phnowrhy
of the Socialists in a political way.
and of the Industrialists in an in
dustrial aspect are, in the first case,
being damned by faint adoption and
in' the second instance losing their
odlousness by assimilation Into a
"decent" organization.
So it has been since Jesus Christ
ever of human conscience he may
originally have possessed a man
who lies and relies upon "business
'.s business' In his dealings with his
fellow citizens as wage workers,
and upon "the survival of the fit
test" In his cold contemplation of
those who compete for dollars. :
In dealing with us as a purveyor,
he appeals to our crasser, more sel
fish instincts tears down. Instead
of building up the structure or citl
tenship. He. as a rule, sends our
money away from home for us and
charges us more for the service than
it would cost utfcder the most waste
ful co-operative sthenic; and in fare
of this palpable fact he lays claim
to our rood will on the basis of
"home Industry" " equally clear
untenable argument.
That Is the prevalent. Intimate,
concept of the average working man.
It is no more constructive than the
policies that Incubate the deduction.
If our local merchants became two-way-haul
distributors, instead of
building up the firth wheel of dis
tribution, the middleman, the human
contact with the local merchant
would make Napoleon's observation
upon the English ("they are a na
tion or shop-keepers' ) inapplicable
andr foreign to the thought of work
ing men; Otherwise he Is a 'trader"
with all the opprobrium attachable

HOME INDUSTRY
Labor, though nation wide in Its
aspect, is very much interested in
iinme Induitrv" nollcies. In its
interest It has differentiated, as does
the United States government, be-
a a
tween home industry as appnea io
commerce and industry Itself.
indnatrv. ta labor, means some
thing done, constructed, made. Com
merce' means something bought or
aold trade, non-constrnctlve In na
ture; hence labor is not so much In
terested In mercantile ventures as
in manufacturing enterprises.
