CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS.
I wish the working-class wore a« chiss-eonseious aa Him capitalist-class and t/heir hangers-on. A Bradford wool-writer in the Wellington "Times "■ tells of the black cloud which has arisen in the cotton trade:
'The strike is over n. wry small matter, namely, whether lives should Ijo forced to join the Woavors* Union. Tlioy would not. The masters very naturally endorsed the attitude of the two weavers."
This man's gigantio brain is unable to grasp the fart that while these two persons are of small account, tlie whole principle of trades unionism is at stake. "Xntiiriill.v" he sides with tho masters, and it is "naturally" printed in a capitalist paper, though in the same column the writer "naturally" asks top makers to form a union to get id. pet lb. more by concerted action.
