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 sent five sons s'�ed� a grandson to this war. The griandsut? was killed in France.

It says: ' According to figures brought dbwn in the House at the instance of Sit Her- bert Ames, the western farmers are either more prosp.ruus or more honest than the farmers of the east, for out of:. 5,888 fanners assessed for income. tax no less than 5,361 were from the three" prairie _provinces, or wore than90 .per cent ---an- astonishing percentage.

A Break For Li'bert y, «An alien, answering to the name of Nuvelberg, whose actions -attracted con- siderable attention in Seaforth, says the ,Huron Expositor, was found wandering - about in the vicinity of Mr. C.
