Study of Causes.

Again. in studying causes one must
look TO the apprehension which arises
and really precedes action The op-
portunity for injustice on the part OF
the employer leads many men 20 strike.
although the injustice itself may not
be a very great factor. These illus
trations indicate the Importance OF stu
dying the labor question from the psy-
Geological point OF view. and OF not
leaving conclusions to be based simply
upon the ascertained results OF ac-
tion."

Mortgages and Strikes.

AT the Eleventh Census an attempt
was made to classify the causes or the
reason for mortgaging homes and farms
Il was shown that nearly % per cent OF
the mortgages indicated prosperity rather
than the reverse. The motive OF the
mortgage indicated the psychological ele-
ment- Considering this % per cent, Il is
found that the desire 10 add 90 the origi-
nal holding. or TO raise money for busi-
ness operations either OF the proprietor
or Of some member Of his family or to
educate children. or for the Improvement
Of existing property was the motive. All
these indicate something entirely differ

a mortgage represents disaster or fail
