Commenting upon a paper read
before the Congress of Evolutionists
held in Chicago in 1898, the Boston
Labor Leader says. I'm its scien-
tific aspect the labor movement-of
which the organizations of labor
are the outward and visible express
sion-is but a part of this warld-old
struggle which furnishes the main
impetus in the evolutionary process
all the while going on in the social
order But while social discomfort
was never so widely prevalent as at
the present time, it cannot fairly be
assumed that the most of those
who swell it's gathering volume are
animated by distractions, or by
the following of any scientific law
of progress. Quite the contrary is
probably true. The average wage
Garner desires certain concrete
things, and he seeks to crafty spe-
mental nature. The fact that these
very wants and requirements them
selves have been developed in the
later cycles of social evolution has
probably never occurred to him
and would make no difference in the
degree of his desires if it had. He
wants clothing of cut and texture
conformable to the canons of taste
of today. entirely Indifferent to the
PHILOSOPHY of Clothes" PROFOUND
ed in 'Sartor Resartus,' or the
leather suit of George Fox. He
wants books and misrepresentation
it must be confessed with a taste
more indiscriminate than judicious
because a desire to keep abreast
of the times has become a part Of the
ordinary man, and he gets right
eously disconnected if this labor
does not bring him in sufficient re-
turn to enable the qualification of
this requirement. Every awakened
faculty brings in it's train brood
of new wants, and these again help
to build up a higher standard, re-
curing larger recompense for labor
to obtain qualification, and CORES
ponding discomfort if it fails of graf
iffcation. This. is the general trend
of the philosophy of. the Ia Dor move
ment and the handspring of the
why and the wherefore of Iabor's
discomfort
The trades union itself may be
said to be the direct outcome of these
social agencies which make the
mass of the people intelligent. The
theory Of political equality has
taught the laborer to Increase his
own valuation. With the overthrow
of the doctrine of the divine right
of kings to rule, has grown up a re-
volt against autocracy, Industrial
as we'll as political. The discomfort
of labor might we'll be called the
ambition of the laboTer With in
creased knowledge: Of economics,
he has grasped, only partially to be
sure, the law Of the correlation of
energy and understands the ad-
vantage Of organized effort If it
be true that the welfare of the
many is the object of government,
then the discomfort of labor con-
tains within itself the best safe
guard of the future of the republic"
The Childs-DreXel club, an organi-
cation composed of members of the
printing crafts of the city, gave an en-
tertainment and bail at Labor hall,
Wednesday evening, for the benefit of
the relief fund of the Typographical
union. The affair was a splendid sue
cess from a financial standpoint, and
fairly satisfactory on the social side,
a goodly number being in attendance.

Even the grocers, butchers and bak-
ers are combining to agree to sell
about thirteen shillings worth of
groceries fer the ten shillings which

pay. The high-handed action of the

70 allow the dispute to be settled by
arbitration is universally condemned.
