A WORE ro THE WISE

Nowhere does the working class
snjoy more respect than in England,
and nowhere is it more turbulent and
insistent upon its rights. When the
Munitions Act was passed it was said
hat now the disloyal wretch Of a la
Dor man was to be put in his place
But the Welsh miners, 200, 900 strong
deied the Munitions Act, and Mr..
Lloyd George himself had to go to
Wales to placate them. Represent
atives of British Labor have been
taken into consultation by the CabI-
net, their views have been heard with
attention and the will of Labor has
been force in the land. Would thai
nave been the case had British Labor
been as meek and mild as Belgian
and German Labor? We may be sure
it would not.
There is a lesson here which Labor
in every land must learn. Labor gets
only kicks and contempt for being
meek and mild. It grows in the pub
Tic estimation in proportion as its own
seH-respect improves, and in proper
ton as It sticks up for its own ends.
