JOHN MORLEY AND
OTHERS ARE SCARED

We observe in the English press that
the British statesmen are becoming
quite perturbed by the activity Of the
laboring element in political affairs in
"the tight little island" Recently Mr..
John Morley. the famous Liberal leader,
in one Of his public speeches, declared
that Liberal or Conservative was liv-
ing in a fools paradise II he though
that there was not going to be great
movement and great increase In the
strength Of Labor" and that IAN
awakened labor party would make de-
mands on Parliament that had never
been made before" On the other hand,
Mr.. Beckett Faber, a Conservative
member Of Parliament, declared that In
the next House there would probably
be thirty labor members and ninety
Irishmen, that Is to say, 12O ready TO
throw themselves ON either side. They
would not care straw either for the
Conservative or for the Liberals. but
would vote for that party which would
give them momentary advantage. Labor
was feeling its feet. with the result that
the artificial line that had hitherto ex-
listed between Liberals and Conserva-
tives was being wiped away. In 4
short time re-shuffling Of the cards
was likely and there would be but two
partiee-on one side the la Dor party ana
on the other side "all of US older poll
ticians, Liberals and Conservatives and
middlemen" 1t might be added that
the laborites are by no means satisfied
that they will have only thirty members
In the next Parliament. They have
about one hundred candidates in the
field and are assured of polling a very
large vote.

The movement was started when
about two months ago several printing
firms were deprived Of the use Of. the
label for violating rules Of the Typo

association passed resolutions to the
effect that none Of them would use
the label on any. work their shops
turned out.
Owing to the friendship Of the busi-
