Thero never has been so powerful an assertion of supremacy ot tho In tercsta of the community over pri vate Interests and private ownership. Under this policy the government has assumed sown establishments by guaranteeing (as with the railroads) a reasonable return; In other cases (aa with tho gre.it armament fac tories) has put forth Us power by piscina; representatives on tho hoard; and In other has organised a com pany, and Itself taken tho stock, After the plan, pursued so successfully by ItifMCOverament of Japan In Ita many business enterprise, (J. p, fJoe Into Isdlfttt 1IusImm M fcf s.Trtut " for examplo, although tho fact hiay'not Ho generally known, tho gov eminent of (Ireat llrltaln has taken over the entlro Indigo business from planting to marketing.

Ho was treading delicate ground. For tho sake of tho war nn, tho country tho worker submltlod to tho surrender of their eight hour day. but they did not llko It. The othor day a norklngman In tho royal nfmn factory nt Hufleld died of nrerwork, Hlnco August ho had nveragod 80 ho tint a week. Tho coroner piously remarked that ho had died for his country, but tho work men plainly do not regard that ver dict with enthusiasm. A girl less than 18 yoars old work o, In an ammunition factory at I.ceda from C o'clock ono morning until 7 o'clock tho next morning, when sho was disabled by nn accident. An other girl In tho samo factory worked 29 hours continuously. Worklngmcn now'comparo theso conditions with tho great dtildetids declared by tho armament companies and tho result Is not reassuring. Tho fart Is, tho government Is be coming it great employer at a trout) loua time In the history of labor. Alwadi It Is walking tho sluck wlro apd Jiggling hard to keep It balanco between labor organisations that aro powerful and those that are not, Slmng t'nlon Wilts) Wenk One !xmn It lost no time In giving tho rail road mm what they wanted; thoy arn strongly organised, Hut when the postottlco workers, being but llborganlsi'd, represented that as tho war hnd greatly lucrensed their labor nnd lengthened their hours thoy should have tho snmo wnr bonus that bad been allowed the railroad men, the governmout coldly turned them down, Recently tho government negotiat ed with the strongly organised mln-' ers tor n longer working day. Tho miners demurred, nnd point ed to tho law "Oh, wo'll have tho law nmcn,d," said tho government agents, cheer fully. "If you do, wnTll. strike," said tho mners, . Tho law has not been amended, but thn miners nro demanding that the mine owner share with them tho great lurreaso lit profit tho owners have raked off from tho wnr and ah alarmod government Is Hitting on the safety valvo, Other condition contribute to an uuc'nsy ultuatlon. Women Title MenV Place At tho IiihIhiico or (ho government, somo employers havo nil but driven omplajea Into tho army. BometlmoH tho vacancies thus mndo havo been rilled with women nl low. er wngos. At tho end of April It wns estlmat ed that morn Until 100.01)0 women had gocu lo work In places provlou. ly tilled by men. ' Hitter complaint was mndo that many employers would not promlho places uftcr tho war to men that en listed. Tho harassed govurninuut took this up nnd started a reforming crusado among employers, In a way It wits too Into. Most of tho harm lit boon dnno and astute labor men under stood that women havo como to stay In most, of tho Industrie thoy hnyo entered, All thcHQ things point to further changes. Tho gravost of tho Indi cations now Is tho Increasing demuud on tho part of workers that tho In creased cost, of living shall bo mot wlth'tvnr bonuses. At this momont tljtwo' dqmutids, sometimes backed with' strikes or tho promise of strikes, como up from nil part sof.tho coun try.

Tho government Is finding It more und moro dlfclfult lo grant (ho Incrcaso to one class ot apppllcant nnd to deny It to another. As waa pointed out in tho reply to tho potsofflco workers, to grant war boniucs all along tho lino would em barrass n government that Is under a war expense of SI 0,000,000 a day. Yet, on tho other hand, hero Is thn a1wa)h growing burden of tho living cost, pressing upon every toller, when tho old wages aro sometimes Insuffi cient to support life under tho now prices of necessaries, Paw governments havo faced a more perplexing situation. Nor Is this all that thoughtful men see. Tho natlon'a dobt burden Is of necessity mounting up In a way beyond all prec edent In history More debt mean moro tuxes, more taxes mean moro poverty and n further segregation of wenlth In the hands of a few. dlcnrly, wo ,jo not begin to pay our war bills when wo pay for the armies In tho field. Immensely bigger bills remain behind for generation after generation to meet. And yet out of oven this gloomy slough Into which civilisation "lias plunged thero I beginning to .appear tho promise of something llko a way out, and about that I hope to tell be fory 1 conclude this series.
