A Socialist rally was held in Grange
hall last night with an attendance OF about
so. John Goram, chairman, introduced
the speaker of the evening, ]. H. Dunbar
Of Hartland Socialist candidate for Con-
gress. His subject was, THE laborer's
just share Of the product OF his labor and
how to get it," He said that the laborer
had the right to the whole OF the pro-
duct OF his labor which means that none
should go to the capitalists who employ
him. There is, however, an exception
to this general rule. In cases where cap
ital is the result of abstinence and sacri-
flee the capitalist should be rewarded.
Under the present system II is the laborer
who sacrifices and the capitalist who
reaps the reward. To get the just share
OF the product OF their toll, the people
have only to take into their own hands
the operation of those utilities upon which
the people depend. This has been done in
New Zealand with good results and is
being done everywhere to a greater or
less extent.
