ON WAGES. I There are two clear claims that have to be borne in mind when we discuss the wages problem. The first is an inevitable claim that the jl worker should be paid real wages, that is to say, that his remunera- tion should bear an intimate rela- i tion to the cost of living. The value of money litis been steadily drop- ping for very many years, indeed the process has been in opera tion over hundreds of years. Tbel'¡ seems to be an economic law work- ing by which an increasing standard 1" %-In g h  11" I of Jvmg has its para e1 in au increasing cost of living. But, this apart, the war has intervened with its own economic effect upon the purchasing power of money, and, speaking broadly, we say to-day that living is now twice as dear °.s it was in 1914. So we start here, I and dedare with practical una- nimity that the first consideration to be met in the wages problem is that the workers' position should be, at the least, no worse than it was five years ago. Now this .n itself is a claim that involves' huge complications, but gigantic as they may be, the nation has settled that the claim lpust be met no matter what the complications. If this alone were our wages problem, it could be titled with a, fail amount of easè. But it is not. It is one of the great paradox that during ?ve years of the mos? terrible warfare the of the has t(!rril)le i? Ar iqre the NA?cirll- has; its de est depths, when Sorrow spread like (4, tidal wave ever the land, the standard of living has gone up. We know, partly, why. Money, paper money—in affect a mortgage upon the labour of future years—was J pJeatiiul; had, indeed, to be plentiful, incè war is the I greatest and the rnDst, liberal of all employers. Not only munition workers were paid splendid wages; few trades there were that, did not, directly or indirectly, benefit. And free mone;V gave rise to more expen- sive tastes.' Our women-folk, or a large number of them, have neve-r dressed more elaborately. Extrava- gance became general. A wonder- ful period of, trori)erit- -sit- in- fictitious if you will, although its fruits were enjoyed even when t1..1- warning was issued that their core would be bitter-—and at hotne we vied with the. army administration in the raeo to get rid of money. And so in the dead day of peace? when all th-is financial f' has to cease, ;.nd the nation does not pour out  it: wealth upon 'hens and ships, we are beginning to wonder whether the reign of prosperity has ceased Ahm. Can we maintain the new ideas of the standard of living that carrie to pe; during the war? We can. we must, inakj it as easy for the worker to livejn 1910 as hg found it in 1914. for very large classe-s of men that must he hnldamental doctrine, for the truth is that hundreds of thousands :f men diH not find it easy to live in 1911. Raiiwaymen who yarned 18<. a week did" hot, live. Labourers al k 1"1 I. I a pound to a week did not live. How could We call this sort of ex- istence life"? .\nd if this is ad- i mitted, it also hold- true that, at double thai wage to-day, it is iirtt !Ife for them but miérY, since the cost of living ?a?' itself doubled. The problem th/n i? tc? ascertain the I margin over twice 18s. and twice 25s.. (and proportionately for all {^ass^s of workers) that will lift us out of the slough of 1914: and hav- | inar arrived at it. to devise Ways i nlCl means of paying the new wage. r We are agreed, arl we trot, Jp.0:n 1 two fundamental propositions: first, j that 19.14 wages have to be doubled second, that in addition there rtiut be for large masses of the people I the margin that will mean the dif- ) ference. betwesii misery and corri- fort. But ho% are we to provide that nnrg:) rlhe answer is pro- j by the Prime Minister when h? Kays The hour* of nrocllldcn. have been cur- tailed: the (standard ot living higher than ever. Tli £ t Was a thing t6 rejoice in, but it wait al^o a thing worth pr&serVing; but they could not pre- serve it by tHe decrees of tribunals, hr arbitrated, olr by decisions in Labonr conflict*. This WfI.$ the prrobkm-6, heavier bnrdeh than ever, starter hours, higher wages, bettor standards of living for avè., a million mor^ men and women than evei in ihdiisi ry. O'nn Wn solve it?" asked Mr; Lloyd George. We can only solve it in one -oviv. and that is by increasing production. The money necessary to provide us with the margin is not contained :n a. såIè in the Bank of England. Thl-It money has to be made by labour. Labour is wealth. And labour, which provides the problem, r.l'šöl}i'ê the problem. We do hot [suggest that tM call Isfcrhflrdnr work; ih many trdes men wjite- Lw5rlf?d MPl stimrgh. trod -are still being worked hard enough. But; ?l?bpur and capita!, forking hahd and haNc!—<h?hi? it? rightful toll upon industry—can mcrease pro- duction without making the worker b?nd more closely to his work. | Good-will—the oil that eHMS eïM\' rusty probleni of lite-—^ ill soften our present diiffculties if we only l-gh it a fair chance.

A UTUMN RE VERIES. By J. Evans-Jones. Undeniably [be prf-vailing sentiment is a. desire for perpetual Summer. To-; when thoughts deeper than feeling have due play, there comes many things to discount the pleasant wlstfulhanktring after the delights of an eternal sumrnet. Green and blue are ifA promising tints- green of the grsfs, of its trees and bushes, and blue of the heavens above.. True it is that Earth's #earpK of greeA and the leafy t'oKag^ of the hedgerows are now and aiich dotted with the promiscuous colouring of the flower^v as the ature- blrte of the @k h:\6 its canopies of clonct to relieve thfe mo'-otony oi its lini-colottr. Yet field atfd meadow and woody glen combine to press jt the green—symbol of immaturity. And is aot Sum itr, with all its Bsftilks ever A strong inieentive to inactivity: Nature eeetns to* dawdle, to bacMce. as the weeks go by, increasingly qvueseent, much as if it had already attained! Even the b-rdit in the byways are con- tend with a subdued twitter, lm.tH the moaning too-hoo of rhe wood-pigeon, the coy of the woodpecker, and the catv-caw of the rooks become the more conspicu- ous eounds of the cotitttrygids. The early morn and evensong of the thrash on iis ph-eh in the budding tree has eeSsed to be tho day's chief charm. Hill and dale have reached a meridian, arid a com- parative calm aki- to the equatsrisl cjoi- clrtimt, has ee'rM the land. Theti, imperceptibly if"; fiwst, fh éum- mer days 6f0 fit to draw in." In side of many a wish and prayer, and at time* a. certain lingering and of thrusting its warm delights onward, theie are whim- perings of "ciiniiiere farewell." Bft.1 there ic a new song froill thfc bush in the hedgerow, bj th. cottage and homestead Tt is the robin's not unmusical sop fin o olo.

In retiring, he thanked all the members of the eamjnittee for the whole- hearted manner in which they had worked in the cause, the success of which must be very grati^ing to all concerned, and he added that the fund was deeply in- debted to the hon. secretary for the splen- did way in which he had devoted himself to his wnrk.

Harris said all the children wished to stav, and (hey could not s £ eak too highly of Mrs. Hover, the excellent: Iliatron. She could not give too much praise to the execution of the scheme.

They were getting indebted to the ladies who had taken such a (,-r-nat i)ers(-,iial in-, terest in the proper running of the home. 'This -woman's work had been right well done. They had. of course, decides' to continue, although no*definite scheme had been as yet adopted He moved that the sah-cornmitfee appointed be impressed with the necessity of getting the scheme into Order at the earliest possible moment. m that, by nxt spring they ftiisrht be in a position to handle, say, 20 or 30 children' per fortnight. The number this year was Mr. all com pated with Miat they hoped to do. This was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. William Rosser. aeeonder] by Mr. C. p, Bell, it was dccided that the added areas should benefit, and on the motion of Mrs. Harris, it was da- cided that thefe should I a rota oi ladies to visit the home. j On the motion of the chairman, see- onded by Mr. jRosser, it was nnaimn.<usly decided to bold, the annual treat.
