THE MESSENGER'S &TORY.

Crutchfield, "I opellL-il tlie door of lay

and fireman siit on the bank on one

ln the fact thevt the resolution could
be carried a*fter a debaite of not more
•fhron a week’3 durtttlon, while 'Cho con-
siderattion df the bill would be opt 1b
take up the time of the entire session

. 'SOCflALTSTrC DOCTRINE3.
The members of the executive com-
mlltee of tlhe nSMondl federation are
nt v.ir}a/nco over the question of intro
duction into tho programme of their
coming reference of cer.Oalrr proposed
measures, wl'fli a tendency 'toward Sd-
ctallstfc doctrines and beliefs. The
measures are seductive •&> the members
of the labor party and are In competi
tion with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain'J
latest Ptote Soctoll'it platform. Ao ma
jority of the committee have reached
the conclusion that by far 'tho greater
number of Llborals lrv tlhe klnppdwni
dil-sapprove Ptrongly of ooquet't'lng with
the Boclallats and think the beat plan
for them to adopt would bo to rely up
on ;the 'trades council* by supporting
'the council's candidates nt tho next
parWwnontary Pteotlons.
•It to the general belief among the
■wire pullers, and their view of the
matter to commonly conceded to be
right that tho morft active and Influ
ential bf the trades unionists.
tondencloa are purely Llber.i 1. -think
more -aissistarnce is 'to bo 'luul through
Kilning aocesa to'i'h« party purse than
from the verbal detfaratlon* regird
ing social reforms In tho party pro
gramme. _ _
Tho bill prepaid by Josepn Cham-
bertthi for Introduction nt the comlnk
session of parliament Is approved -by
itho Unlonlkti, but Is looked upon wltli
suspfolon by Itho radical workingmen,
for whose benefit It 1s designed. The
nreasure as it starois includes provi
sions fljr tihe furnWlhw of sl'ite u.d
to artisans for the purchase of hemes
of their own, for thc Kr irttlnK of old
use pensions, for 'Sio llml’talton of the
hours of labor in shops and factorlisi,
for -the restriction of pauper alien im
migration and a now employers lia
bility act, embodying a con trie! In tr
out clause. It is looked upon as n nigh
old Tory dodstc which iwlii resu.t in line
shelving; of tho quoiillons of the aboli
tion of the house of lords, the dlses-
UbliSbmertt of churdh and virious
trad reforms, and the repblctair offhem
with Socialistic bribes at tho cost or
ithe masses of the people.
This scheme oronaneu in Mr. Lnnrn-
beralln'8 measure, of zl'tn-x to every
worltiiwrman a house of his own, pr>
rfasea that the worklrurmen shnll supply
one-fiftli of the money for the purchase,
the state advamolnc the other four-kfthi
nt ouch n rate of Interest a# Is wipnaseJ
will enable the borrower -to pay oft ’he
debt incurred la ten yearo. The Econo
mist characterizes tho pmswal as a
sheer illusion for the bezuiUnr cf men
into the fallacious Idea that th. state
will'endow them with houses without
tho least addltlonil expeneo to them
selves. An unnlyrtis of the plan proveH
that Mr. Chamberlain has omitted from
h!o calculations ‘the -payment of rates,
the cost of keertlne the houses In re
pair, -the around rant Charges, the cost
of insurance, the loss of Interest on the
capital Invented by tho worWnwnen and
the tljrsTbmv of tbe of hlfl capital
In the event of vicissitude, of hto trade
compelling the Investor to change ns
place of rcwidonce.
MANN’S PROGRAMME.
The sonuine .aclallot laboriats hive
evolved another —art of pronramme,

Mann, for the independent labor party.

tion ami exchanx*. These objects are
