Labor in the War.

tChrlstlan science Monlhor)
The address of the president ,of the
'nited States to American labor, pub
lished on what is known as Labor
day. is an epoch marking document.
1t is not s. much what Mr.. Wilson
says in his address Int is remarkable;
it is the face of tne address itself.
Amongst ito many !ronies of t''c war

.o n III, il is an unquestionable
ia ha il has become more impor-
tant than ever with the war For
a long time many of the representa-
tives of labor were diSir clined TO adj
NIT this: for a time these represen-
tativcs persisted in arguing that the
war was a capitalists war intended
to rivet the chains of capitalism more
than ever firmly on labor. AS. how
ever, time went on, labor began to
awake to the fact that il was com
pletely mistaken, 1t saw political
power steadily shifting more and
more into its own hands, as a result
of the war, the very righteousness Of
which some of its representa- lives had
once questioned. Then labor leaders
like Mr. Henderson, in En- gland be
gan to point out that, so far from
tabor suffering from the war. the in
terests of labor had been advanced
half century by the war; and that
this is probably no eXaggeration OF
the truth. the facts are beginning to
prove.
The remarkable part therefore. Of
Mr. Wilson'S address is as has been
pointed out. not what is contained in
1t but that it should have been issued
at all. In all previous wars popular
opinion has regarded the soldier as
practically the only factor. The man
behind the gun has been awarded his
fun share of kudos. but the man be-
hind the machine has been regarded
as A negligible quantity, To-day all
this ts changed. The tremendous de-
mand for munitions. which surprised
even that highly efficient Institution
the LeirziEerstrasse, has shown the
world that the man behind the ma
chine is as necessary q part of the
war as the man behind the gun. The
man behind the machine docs not
take the risks. is not exposed to the
suffering. If the man behind The gun,
tut the efforts Of the man behind the
gun would be absolutely useless. Il
the man behind the machine were not
working to supply shells with the
same grim determination with which
the man behind the gun fights his
gun. Indeed. another great change
has come over the world in Connsc~
