fixes by law The number of hours day
a man shall work. There are other reSu-s
iations of government for the industrial

dispute between employer and emplove
Is that OF wages. We do not see, how
ever why that question should be left
in dispute. If 1t is proper for the gov
elnment to fix the number Of hours that
man shall work. ii Is also prope, for
II to Ak the compensation that a man
shall receive. 1t is manifest from all ti.is
that Socialism is rampant IN New
Zealand. and sooner or later the govern
nent will control everything.
