BARROW FOR WILSON
Continued From First Page


Europe after the war there will be
more work to do and fewer TO do it.
Emigration will turn the other way to
build UP her ruined cities and her
blood soaked land.
Is Mr.. Hughes against an eight
hour day. He says not. He is only
against an eight-hour day. He
dare not say he would go back
back to what? The road in that
direction is long and ends in the
slavery of the working man.
Who wants a change? Is it the
farmer, the worlzingman, the student,
the man of letters, the lover of his
country? Or is it the great interests
with their swollen fortunes, their
bloated arrogance, their impudent,
unholy and everlasting demand for
money?
