Sunday’s issue.In it reference was made to a “Recreation Congress” which had met recently at Atlantic City and despite the care free name, “The Times” claimed the subject was one of the most serious of our time.Indeed it is and it 1ms intensified the truth of the saying, “If you want anything done, ask a busy man, thu others have no timo.” file old Greeks used to give “intelligent loafing” although they did not call it that — a part of their education of youth — but in those old days a few had all the “spare time” and the others «'ere slaves.Thero is undisguised delight in the cheery thought that thanks to Organized Labor, not to papers like “The Times”, men and women are a little better than horses and have some “spare time”.Note the following quotation from this Times” stuff, without one word said about how it came about: “This general liberation from long hours of labor loaves millions of men ami women with a “spare time”, a free day.Out of 108 hours in tho u’eck some of these millions spend only 44 hours regularly at work.If 00 hours are taken out for sleep, there are left 08 from which (as Arnold Bennett says) “to spin health, pleasure, content, respect and the evolution of an immortal soul.” ‘ ‘ This is, therefore, no longer solely a toiliug, work-a-dny world.At any rate, this part of it is also a “play-a-day” world for what would Ire a third of the year if spare timo were massed into months.And, increasingly, concern grows as to how the spare time shall be used to the advantage of tho individual and society.” About tho ouly real thing “The Times” said was that the nation which would see to it that tho “spare time” of its workers was given up to self improvement by using reading rooms or re creation grounds or amusement places for profit and this especially in youth, would progress tho fastest and the most effectively.A great deal might be added to what they barely touched on, namely wlmt ma chinery has dono to lighten the burden of all workers.In fact it is machinery which gives workers a better chance to rest and recuperate.Labor doffs its hat to the inventor and to the unionism that made it possible for talented men to develop their mentality while still at their bench or the anvil.“Spare time” indeed! Think of the cell of Gallileo or tho lonely lamp of Erasmus who with the hundreds of others who were scoffed at and yet their work shines through the centuries like a beautiful beacon beckoning on the torch bearers of liberty who travel under tlie banner of trades union ism.Tho toil cursed slaves of the agos shout through tho centuries that “spare time” Is only another name for freedom which was obtained by mighty Labor.EX-FACTORY GIRLS FUN FALLS TO AS SERVANTS THE FAT MAN It would seem that in old London town I r “ Tho Fun of Being a Fat Man” is tho girls are getting back to the sound ! the

tins been reported for n lecture.It was printed by tho “Illinois Miner” and reads as follows: “Having during the past year wiped out most of tho labor sections of tlie Clayton net, declaring picketing illegal, that a tax on the products of child labor is “unconstitutional”, that ttie funds of labor unions can be seized for “damages”, that stock dividends cannot be taxed under the income tax law, we shall look forward with joyous anticipation to a lecture by Bill Taft, on “The Dangers of Class Legislation.” Some falsf information is being scattered by certain papers re tlie textile strike in Now England and tlie United States Employment Service is also to blame re strikes.It has just issued n statement on the employment situation in which it says that the adjustment of tlie textile labor controversy “has increased em plovment in that industry tremendously.” This statement conflicts with a recent statement by Sara A.Conboy, secretary treasurer of the United Textile Workers, uhp declared that “the capitalistic press of this country is spreading untruthful propaganda that the Now England textile strikes arc settled.” This trade unionist says that thero are about 33,000 men, women nnd children on strike in New Hampshire and about 3,000 are out in the Blackstone valley, Rhode Island.LABOR PARTY TO RULE Some “hot stuff” was reported to have been said by Col.Josiali C.Wedge-wood, the “Back to Palestine” delegate to this continent, in the “New York World” last Sunday and about whom considerable reference was made in last week’s issue of the “Labor World”.The veteran “labor leader and war hero”, as ho was called, said that once the Labor Party gets into power in England, the entire foreigu policy will undergo a change.There will be a com pleto reversal of the Peace Treaty.This will bo accomplished by revising the Versailles Treaty.Wo should hope to make of the League of Nations a real League of Nations with America in it.You can't call it a real League of Nations without America, for America is the only one that counts.Tho war showed America to be much more powerful than tho rest of the world.’ ’ Col.Wedgewood continued, “By-elec tious showed that there will be a swing of the pendulum.Wo have always on joyed the party system, and tlie Labor Party is tho only alternative to the Co alition Party now in power.” ‘ ‘ Great Britain being so vast nnd so conservative an empire, to wh.it do you attribute the success of the Labor Party?” The answer was sharp and decisive.“In England the workers are far better educated politically.There is no ignorant alien element in the country; consequently, among tho workers there is more constant political education.Public meetings are being held continually.Questions like free trado and protection have for years engaged the attention of the public.“You have nothing here like tlie semi-socialistic policies of Lloyd George.You have been primarily concerned with race questions.“The Labor Party is not an extreme party.It has becomo tho inheritor of the liberal traditions of the country.There is no element of communism about tho party.” haps, too, Kipling was guilty of statement.What this country got
