A Labor leader addrossing the unemployed in Christchurch ascribed all of their troubles to the fact that the working men had not- voted for tho Socialist candidates for Parliamentary and City Council honors. “It serves you right that you’re out of work,” ho declaimed. “It serves you right, and I’ve, got no sympathy for you.”
One of the speakers at an unemployed meeting in Cathedral square, Christchurch, recently, sketched a glowing picture of tho luxurious life led by the average newspaper editor. “He goes to his palatial homo in the evening,” the orator said, “and -a lackey meets him at the door to relieve him of his coat. Then he goes to his sumptuously furnished dining-room, and draws his chair up to a well-stocked dining-table. Afterwards, he sits by the fire and engages in intellectual conversation with his wife and daughters. Then ho sits alone before going to bed, and, patting himself on the back, says, “All is well with tho world.”
