woRkINeMENs RESPONSIBILITY.

J. G. Phelps Stokes. in his address
at the Davenport Congregational
church on Sunday evening, made a
declaration to the effect that the
workingmen IN this country are today
in industrial slavery. Mr. Stokes is
regarded as one Of the distinguished
opponents OF the socialistic doctrine
In this part Of the country and has
been INDUCING in a great deal of very
interesting talk in which the socialis-
tic problem has been the uppermoet
topic Of discussion with him. There
isn't any doubt of his sincerity, nor
can there be any doubt that the null
titude Of people who have listened to
him with interest in the last half
dozen years are emphatically inn
pressed with the sincerity of his
views.
We believe that Nj. Stokes would
gain a great deal more Roadway for
the cause Of socialism and toward the
eradication of the alleged slavery of
the worlSingmen II he would como
right out boldly and tell the working
men that the industrial slavery of
which they are victims is due entire
ly to the workingmen themselves.-
New Haven Union.
American labor is free labor in the
broadcast sense Of any labor in the
world; and still, under some indus
trial systems, it does too closely APP
proach slavery, and in its results Is
no better; but within half a century
labor conditions have greatly i'm
proved and from twelve to fifteen
hours the days work has been reduced
to eight and ten hours. When wages
are considered, the average wage of
American workingmen is higher than
ever and the best paid to any work
men even when the buying power of
money Is considered. What happens
in mines and factories today is a
great Improvement upon the conditions
of half A century ago and wages are
better. but It must be admitted that
they could be greatly improved; but
il Is not right to Judge labor by its
worst conditions The workmen have
been helping themselves, and the av-
erage American workman will scout
the idea that he is a slave. He can
not be ordered TO work or be horse
labor Is wholly volun-
tary.
