been decided by the Superior Court.

The new house of commons will

sition Of arbiters of the fortunes of

history Of parliament.
The labor party at St. Stephens
will be a distinct parliamentary unit,
with a policy and organization of Its
own. It's members will no longer
respond to the crack OF the Liberal
whip, but will act as an autonimous
group.
There are over fifty labor candi-
dates before the constituencies and
it is no extravagant estimate to put
the number who may be- expected to
find their way to st. Stephens at
thirty.
The labor party will clamor for
payment of members and Of election
expenses, the abolition of plural vot-
ing, every man one vote, and reform
of the registration laws, with ex-
tension of the hours OF polling;
amendment sof the law of combina-
ton and extension of the Workmen's
Compensation act, all of which it re-
CARDS as urgent wants. But, more
than all, it will insist on the recog-
milton of the fright to work." with

ing problem are also buring matters.

speculation as to the composition and
prospects Of durability of the COM

It is clear that out of majority
composed Of Liberal imperialists, lit

Kier Hardie's veiled threat is no
idle one. The labor representation
