Elections were concluded and. the standing (approximately) of the respective parties foit the next Legislature decide- ed; when it became uncomfortably apparent to the Government party that it had been placed in a rather precarious position, havifig. • but a slight lead over the Conservatives and Provincials combined, the chief jjiberal organ in the Province carried subtle suggestions in its news columns that reasonable support could be looked for from "Labor.- The editorial eye, having discei-ned the logic resulting from the {unction of the, .;iicws.-?/en(!prs' J^..n.,,_ivi'pc.cc^]cil sympathy for the working class pointing out that the extent of the Labor-vote should be given cartful consideration, since the figures were not commensurate with the representation won at the polls,' ■ So it is m,ade to appear that the only reasonable manner.-in which fliis unrepresented Labor vote-rebuld be appreciated is by handing to the member-elect of South Vancouver, [*0n account, be it noted, of his parliamentary experience, the portfolio of Minister of Labor," '' To the unthinking in the' Labor movement-this .may seem to be a fine'idea.' It may be argued that it m'ght be bettei.dealing withrthe op* eration of Labor laws that a man trusted and respected in the movement have the. supervision of that work. But almost always those things which appear on the surface arc not the material or dominant points. What is here set down is not presented in any caption, spirit, but for the purpose of throwing light on tEe matter fcam an angle probably not considered by the "rank and file Nor are wo suggesting that Mr ."Neelands requires dictating to. Our opinion of him is in the direction of concluding 'that the belated appreciation of his work for Labor, coming from.the Liberals, arrives in an atmosphere of bad grace when the opr position of that party to Neelands' work 'and position is taken into account. We further opine that had the Liberals^ been better circumstanced (from their point of view) byTreceiving a larger representation in the House, this sly stroking of Labor's back would not have been indulged in.. - . .-._- .' And- whet says the Vancouver It iB'remarkable that* ut the time when Labcjj. appears to be clearing the 'ground for the necessary work of education and organization; when it se'ims not improbable that some attempt is to bo made by the working class to conic to a hard-headed-apprehension of the problems of social engineering*, that such an obviously clumsy effort to use Labor for the -»'■> _■ tion of Liberal chestnuts from tin. politic. 1 fire, should be made. • - Not from, the Liberal party, nor /rom such-influence that its periodic literary mouthpiece is abic to wield, can the wsge-workers of this Province expect any. assistance in the colossal tasK of resisting the en- croachrii.nts' of the vested interests, or oi striving for a higher standard of llftt, or o' proceeding with the work leading - eventually to i/ocial salvation. Nor, indeed, from an;' other party or group. That work, in all its phases, must be the work of the 'working class itself. If, at.long' lastj-Labor has.jirrivenlFJ at the point where, it commands recognition (as the "Sun" hns.it) then it should be'taken as a token thai, the time has avrived when, it should i-e.copike itscTf, its Ai-fr-.JMlfceittiHi'.poW-r*r'.-''N_. 1^S1!^^xTst«n^"'^y:"5nTOrfy (tie ivosi- tion. of the Liberal administration, but justify its existence by demanding things for itself, by making its own policies, according to conditions from time to time; remaining distinct' and sennrat'e and thus adding'to its prestige; in short, by standing on its own feet, making heard its own voice, carving out- its own destiny and telling the master' class politicians '.i keep their own chestnut re- tricvinr; performances to themselves. The history of "She movement in Europe can be .ecbmniended for review at,this time in this connection. We think that we are safe in saying that Neelands fully appreciates this left-handed complipient of the Liberal junk artists, and that their awkwardly executed offer should be returned unopened as the grossest insult ever extended to the workers ;by their masters' politicians. invective against the unfortunates. It also appears that in recent years each succeeding Minister of Labor in this Dominion, out-Herods his immediate predecesor. Hon. Crothers was remarkable for his stupidity and lack of knowledge of the movement; Gideon Robertson possessed some slight knowledge of the movement, being connected with one of the aristocratic unions, but his elephantine activities and imperialistic outlook prevented him observing any situation affecting the workers from the standpoint of their interests. Now comes Murdock who adds to. the repertories of his,two predecessors the ability to sling the choicest Billingsgate ever perpetrated. If there has been an error in the actions of the Eastern posties (a point we are not willingjto concede) there has also been an exhibition of departmental ineptitude which in ordinary business life would call for the immediate discharge of the manager. Murdock could not be congratulated from a public viewpoint on the fashion in which he dealt with the striking longshoremen in this Province last fall ;_nn.d.he is...in...sufficient-, ly bad odor at the moment without enhancing his reputation by retorting to the striking Eastern postal workers that "They could stay out 'till Hell "freezes over." „ But the point we wish to make is this: These men have apparently been caught in a cleft stick and all they Can hope for, evidently, iB whatever weight.thc Labor movement of . _ this country is a*ble"to"e*x*e'i-'t on their "nd behalf. i ' . , . ... - W.-rM'F*^''!'^ KIR K S CASSIDY COAL tlfE LEADING COAL OF VAN- COUVER ON ACCOUNT OF ITS LASTING ^QUALITIES KIRK & CO.

' ■ THE PLIGHT OF THE POSTIES The recent protests of the postal workers against the projected reductions in wages by the Civil Service, Commission found favor in almost every quarter, even' the most reactionary. And for the very simple reason that the impossibility of a married man with a family making a respectable attempt at citizenship on $86. per month was apparent to all but the purblind. / ,, - So far as we can judge it was pretty -well established as the general sentiment ampngst the postal workers that their protest shoud ne made effective by a conscious withdrawal of working force. But for some reas. on tjiat wo are not here desirous of discussing the strike did not even, tuate, except in Montreal, Toronto and one or two other Eastern places. EIGHT-HOUR DAY IN CANADA OTTAWA, Can.—The eightMiour day appears to be making progress in Canada, according to the Dominion department of Labor. .The survey,made last fall covered 690,317 employees in various branches of industry, and of this number 374,274 or B4;22 per cent were ,on the eight-hOur day or the 48-hour week or less. A similar survey made in June, 1918, covering 612,398. employees, indicated that 43.4 per cent were on an eight-hour day or less, with 6.4 per cent, on a duly of 8 Mi hours. . There is a wide divergence in the | percentage of employees on' She 48- hour week in different industries:' The following percentages . given: logging, 19.23 per cent; mining, 62,61 per cent; manufacturing, in- cUMing publishing and production of electric current, 33.81 per cent; construction,.21.04 per cent; transportation, 91.50 per cent; communciation, 84.63 per cent; trade, 62.46 per cent; services, including municipal employees, hotel and restaurants, laundries, hospitals, etc, 56.48 .per cent.

UNMARRED BY ACCIDENTS A record,-to be proud of has been made in the constructing of a' huge tunnel which is to carry the water supply of Wellington, New Zealand- Press dispatches say that the work "was unmarred by accidents."

But when the Vernon convention handed the control over to Vancouver financial "interests and the party became a "Purity Party" operated, controlled and financed by individuals who. had had a finger in every piece of financial skuldudgcry that has come down the. road during the last quarter of a century, the'world and his .wife lost confidence and the fanner and his wife ' lost interest. -Judged by its. pre-election propaganda and the polling boxes in, which the McRae-McCrecry-Walkcnr vote ' appeared, the third party • stajids for lower taxes on the wealth controlled by the West End and Shaughnessy Heights. . .. , - . ...

Attempts had been made to organize them separately, but each man was afraid of losing his job if he organized.

I toil and worry" and -save and hoard arid all I get is my room and board. It's me for the sweets of my hard-earned pelf."
