view which ! have just re-

AZ WH of what many consider the
M most advanced labor coun-
M III try of the world, 1t comes
r-Tl lac other side Of the globe, away
5ouu below the equator, from the col-
orv Of New Zealand. II Is written by
tho Hon. Edward Tregear, who for
,be past 10 years has been secretary
NJ labor for that colony, and who
has always been one Of the prime NOV
ora in New Zealand's experiments on
the labor problem. The interview Is
an response to questions which | sent
AFR. Tregeai several months ago, and
Il gives the situation as regards labor
and capital in that country In 1904.
NEW ZEALAND's SECRETARY FOR
LABOR
II is now four years since | met
gcry. Tregear In his office at the labor
department In Wellington. New zea-
land He is a brighteyed, scholarly
looking man Of perhaps 40 years Of age.
He is thoroughly posted on the labor
sIuation, and especially on all things
Connected with labor In Australia and
New Zealand During our chat he told
me what the government was then do
ing TO reconcile the troubles Of labor
and capital how 1t had established the
weekly half-holiday had practically
liked the IS hour week, and how it was
to some extent regulating trusts and
the accumulation OF large fortunes. He
said that the working men Of the coun-
try had become the prepOnderating in
gnence I'm political life, and their sue
cess had been won not through yio-
lance, but By reasoning out the mat
fer on the stump and thereby getting
the balance Of power I'm parliament.
Mr.. Tregear then thought that Now
Zealand's efforts toward equalizing the
rights of man would be initiated by
other countries. He said the colony was
steadily advancing, and that he hoped
great things for the future That was
in the year 1900 Here is what he says
Of the situation today. The ques-
items interspersed through the inter-
view are mine:
