UNEMPLOYMENT.
Juthjjfeg from the references made to the subject in the columns of our exchanges, we should assume that there is a considerable amount of -unemployment in "the. Dominion at the present time. The indications point to a severe winter,: and there is many a household in which the rations will go short. In these circumstances,'we would/abjure the Government .to strain every effort to copo with the situation, and to prosecute pilblic works wherever possible. JPrivate employers would also be acting in a generous spirit by assisting the Government in relieving the congestion. We may all, ai times, deplore the class hatred that is generated by paid agitators, and form. resolutions that we will treat labour as labour "would treat tis. At a period when women and children are suffering the pangs of hunger, however, #uch feelings cannot be countenanced. There is; or shottld I>e, jn every. man a humane instinct which counsels help and'assistance in the time of. distress. ' '-\H is :to that instinct we woidd appeal. "'•■..'■"•' "
