extra pay for Labor members when there was
an autumn session OF Parliament. He remarked
that it extraordinary view to take that
mans expenses were heavier when at work than
on holiday. His own personal experience was
that his expenditure began when he went on
holiday: and consequently he was reluctant 20

One Of the strongest reasons for increasing the

not that they should receive more money while

using their holidays 10 increase their
knowledge Of the country. of the empire and OF

illuminates discussions OF social questions In his
plays The delegates. who were considering the
plain matter fact question whether t2O should
be added to the La Dor members salary OF 200,
did not relish his jokes. One Of them twitted
him for having taken prolonged vacation from
labor conferences, and described him as an ex-
pert on holidays. especially In airships, since
everybody knew that he had been up in the air.
Another repFoached him for expressing middle
class views and when Mr. Shaw laughingly
appealed TO the chair for protection there was
a formal decision that the conference allowed
such liberties in discussion.
