LABOUR RALLY
Under the auspices of the Wellington Labour Representation Committee, Mr. P. C. Webb last night addressed an audience in tho Empress Theatre upon "The Sou! of Capitalism." Profits and dividends, Mr. Webb told his hearers, wore the soul of Capitalism. The capitalisticclass, ho said, cared nothing for the welfare of the workers, and had been guilty of all sorts'of crimes in its endeavours lo find markets and protect its interests. Mr. Webb considered that Labour in New Zealand was not nearly militant enough in tho industrial field. In tho political field; it was privileged in having "some of tho finest characters of the Labour movement in any part of the world" to represent it. It was cloar, he asserted, that tho duty of the man working the machine wnp to insist upon the maohine's becoming thn common property of tho people, and upon its being used for 'the common welfare, instead of for the return of profits to thn few.
