SUPPRESSED REFORMATION
 ON CAUSE OF IDLENESS
(Continued from Page B.

mocracy," says:
 The wage earner sells to his employer, not merely so much muscular energy or mechanical ingenuity, but practically his whole existence during the working day. An overcrowded or badly ventilated workshop may exhaust his energies; sewer gas or poisonous material may undermine his health; badly construct ed plant or imperfect machinery may main him, or even cut short his days; coarsening surroundings may brutalize his life and degrade his character; yet, when he accepts employment, he tacitly undertakes to mind whatever machinery, use whatever materials, breathe whatever atmosphere, and endure whatever sights, sounds and smells he may find in the employers workshop, however ininlica1 they may be to health and safety.
 The workingman today has no choice; if he does not like the conditions of his employment, the employer or his agent shrugs his shoulders and informs him there are plenty of men willing to do the job. Pressing necessity and the cry of the little ones at home decide the day, and for the bread necessary to sustain life, men will face risks which the slave master would never have permitted his slave to take
 We now come to that phaseof idleness the "closed shop" Not the "closed shop" which MT. Parry and his friends talk about---but the shop that is closed because the capitalist can find a market for no more of his goods Mr. Wright ennmerates under the headings, IFS establishments Closed," Unable to get work and Slack Work, " responsibility for 56.96 per cent of the idleness which he found existed among the workers. There IS uo other explanation; simply the shop was closed, or work was slack and the applicant was unable to secure employment.
 T,,f jc Of statistics from the Eighteenth Ann ual Report of the Commissioner of Lab or" and tells of unemployment through out the country. There is far more people out of employment to-day than when the Eighteenth report was taken. Every machine that is put to work dis places more and more workers until, at q not very distant date, they will take and hold the tools of production. In Alaska as well as on the outside there is large army of jobless men waiting for the capitalist politicians to furnish them jobs The capitalist press tells us that If the Democratic politicians down at Washington would do this or that Alaska will come into its own.
 No politician can give Alaska anything.
 The natural resources, here ill Alaska. are ready to be turned into wealth by the application of labor they to be used to satisfy mans needs. The politicians 1n California gave away practically the whole state to their masters under the guise of building railroads The Laurier government iu Canada gave away a1- most the entire northern part of Canada to bunch of private capitalists. The workers always share in the spells to the extent that they do the work and pay the taxes indirectly, and then see the product of their labor hashed out to a lot of parisites, while they, themselves wander around looking, looking, always looking for jobs.

amazed to e a monster frog with a.

Several times the struggling chick

battle of Bosworth Field, 1885. The
town was stormed by Charles /. in
1915, but recovered a short time aft

There are several interesting
churches in Leicester, among these
st. Mary's and st. Margaret's. In the
neighborhood Of the town are the re-
mains of the abbey of Black Canons,
which was founded in 1143. On the
site OF the present st. Margaret's
church was the old Saxon cathedral
OF the see of Leicester, and it was in
the adjoining abbey that Cardinal
Wolsey found refuge on his fight
north from the anger of Henry VIII.
OF the more modern buildings the
most notable is the new municipal
buildings with an imposing clock
tower 1874 feet high. Leicester has.
grown very rapidly of recent years.,
n this is due to it's central position.
to its transit facilities by three rail-
way companies and Ly water, and to.
the great expansion of it's industries.
The manufacture Of plain and fancy
hosiery, which was introduced in 1880,
is equaled only by Nottingham, while.
it is one of the most Important cen
tiers Of the boot trade In the United
