SHORTER HOURS..
‘Vherevei• laborhas become organized
on this continent there ie a demand for
shorter hours with pay the same as, or
more than, it was-for`the longer hours.
Never was there such a move in that
direction as now, ani never was there
such a readtness to strike in order to
exact the demands.
This is a. curious development when
we are told, and it is undoubtedly true,
that we must produce --more than ever:
before in order to,.wak-3 up for the less
and a►astea'or the war: "Instead -of going
too work harder and longer thao before
the determination is to _ shorten the
working day and lessen production.
Because of the perfection of organiz c -
tion by labor unions, . and the develop -
Ment of the -eympathetio
evelop-t tent.-of.--the--sympathetic strike idea,
these----who--chose -to salt thersselve"
"Labour"' are prepared to make almost
any sort of demand whatever, regardless
of how the &ranting cf them will aff.ct
•industry in general.
It is said t�,:at the government of
Caned t contemplates the enactment of
an eight hour -day law—that is Vo make
eight hours a legal; work day throughout
the Dominion.
X11 that can h: done, of course, is to
make eight hours of each twe ity-four
the period during which one man can
lawfully engtge to work for another; or
the other way about—that one man may
not engage another to work for him for
longer than eight hove, in.each twenty-
four. Legislators will scarcely under-
take to limit the number .lar- hours that
a man may, work for himself; nor. will
they undertake to sa►y..as to whether ;or
not a plan may work at home after be
has completed his "day's work." The
class of then which this proposed legis-
laati.m h seems to have in view is those
city tradesmen or factory hands who
rave, rk by the day and stay at •a boarding'
house. It may •be assumed, too, ghat
'those who,flo not regard work a3 a hate-`
ful thing Inay, if -they wish, after cont-`
pleting their eight-hour day with one
man, go and work for two or four hours
for anoth er:
NVhat the farmer will think of the
legalized eight-hour day, it is not hard
to, conjecture. If cows, horses and hogs
are To ,properly looked after, and if
work is to be_ rusheddn. seeding and
harvest time, someone trust work more
than eight hours in' the twenty-four.
The rabid labor unionist, of course, will
have no difficulty in solving that prob-
lem for' the -farmer: "Let the farmer
.:tonnage twej shirts of men or tet biro pay
time -and -s -half for cover time," they will -
nay. That's as easy as two and) two
snake four.. Al fcr the farmer who does
his own work, we presume that he will
be all_o'wed to keep on working his --34 or
if; hours per dt'y if'he likes. .
Then if this rule of eight hr•urs work
and ten hours ,pity is to )*evail in the -
t ►wns and cities and not on the farms,
the• farmer will find his labor problem
very. touch 'worse than it is now. For
who will go to work' on a farm at $2 00
'for 11 hours wheal Oren are getting three,
four or seven dollatts for eight hams$
work in the city?
Voting hours and fixing pray by legal
enactment will prove a difficult,matter.
'CONFERENCE NOT SLOW
--- 0 • �- —..,
We all have _felt -that---bee-•-clz s
around the Peace table at Faris were
taking a.good deal oft time at their job--
bigthough that job was.
Our impatience was due to ignorance
historians tell uq that of the ten (great
p3acJl treaties signed since the Thirty
time of negotiation has been about fif-
teen monthsl and of the f :ur great treat-
ies of the nineteenth century—those
following the Napoleonic Wars, the
Crimean War, the Franco Prussian War
and the Russo-Turkish War, the average
time of negotation following the ces-
sation of hostilities was seven nionths.
In view of. these farts the time taken
by the eonferenee at Pane does not seem
so ontrageously long, since.. the confer-
ence met until the final drat la is of the
treaty occupied but fifteen weeks, and
the (natters to be adjusted were far
greater and - more complicated than thorle ,
before any 'previouttr peace conference.
The time front the signing of the
Armistice to the signing of the treaty
will be about, -side months.
LYNCHING IN THE U. S. s.
Soave startling facts regarding lynch. s
Ings in the United States were given to
the world recently 'by the National
Council of Lynching held in New York
a couple of weeks ago.
In the past 30 year no. less than
:3224 'persons have 4een ?ted in the
I'I.i,:cd Stac�:nd they �. .�, ... µe w e.re,.nrt,.nlL
men either, nor were the women lynched
all colored women. Of course, -.the
great mejority of victims were colored
men. The South had 2834 while the -
North had but ‘:)..19; the West had 156
and tithe r- district's 15. The state of
Georgia leads -with 38(3 victims, and
M ississippi comes net with :373. Texas
bad 335 and -Louisiana 313. _
Sixty one women were among those
lawlessly put to death —fifty being
colored and elev?n white.
'The victims appear to have •euffered
for all manner' .of crimes --only one in
five, however, being "for the usual
crime"—the attack of a negro upon a
white woman.
After' the United -States' entered the
war, President Wilson made an appeal
to. the people to -cease lynch-ing especially
while the country was engaged in a war
`to `make the world safe.fer Democracy,"
but the appeal seems to have fall( n
upon deaf ears, for since that appeal
was made sixty-seven lynebings have
taken place.._. Sixty three of the victims
were negroes---five of them women—and
four were white men.
Commenting upon - these facts the
New York Independent says: "There
is nothing that Japan hats done to the •
Korean revolutionists, or that. E^(,land
has ever done' to .Ireland, or even that
Germany has done to Belgium, that can
equal in depravity and .barbarity Amer-
ica's record of lynching"
DODGING THE D0tJ l'AX
The Onllia Packet'had. the following:
"Can the man .who sends his dog to
visit friends in the country .while the
assessor is on his rounds call himself an
honest man? He can. Can the man
who lies to the ' assessor and miarep-
resen�..(,u the numbecrif_ s he has call_
himself an honest leant Elie can. Can
the man who, without questioning, wit
fully withholds from the assessor the
fact that he has a dog or dogs which
ought to be on the roll and are not cal
himself an honest mat,1 He can. He
may call himself anything he likes, but
the blunt truth is that he is as, much, e
thief as if he had robbed the pxor-box
in a church." -
A Warrior Family
Writing to The Southa►npton Beacon,
Mr. M. S McAsmIay says: "Sir,=-I-aao-
say what no other man in Ontario can
say, and that is a big word. There are
three broth?rs of us all through the
American Civil War. My r,randfatber
was for years under the British fl tg. I

war. The griandsut? was killed in France.
One son has bis right lung totally out
