DRINK AND LABOR.
Improvement m the laborer's oondition Is impossible without cutting down hs drink bills. No social arrangement whicb man oan ma'.e can benefit people who get drunk No matter wbat w*ges you pay a drinking man, neither hia condition nor that of hiß family can be Improved thereby. There is no uae m providing extra holidays for men who use them to get druuk. There is no use m onttlng down tha day's labor from teo to eight hours, if the two hours gait. ad are spent m a rum-hole. There would be no uee ln making arbitration compulse ry, if one of the parties was likely to be k.p. from obeying tbe decision by Iquor. There would be no uae m handing over all the property m the wor d to laboring men, if tbey drink as they do now They Would soon dissipate it, and add nothing to the store — -Ye.. York Nation,
