The poeb sang, "L^rp to labour and to wait" (said MrEvefyn Macdonald, replying to a question at Ohau last night). He hoped all would get to work now, without more waiting, and do their best; none were asked or expected to go ■beyond their strength. An old axiom said: "Idleness is the parent of Want," and it was true, and labour was the mother of abundance. The "go-slow" ■was diehonest, and no better than burglary. The burdens ->i the world, the welfare of the world, rested upon the shoulders of the labourer—of farm, of office, factory, and mine. It was for the State to see that each carried a share of the burden, and .that each had a share in the welfare of all—a fair,share of the fruits of labour. This was the first duty of Government. The man who went on strike perhaps knew quite well that his own wife and ' child would be among the first to suffer by his action,' yet it had seemed sometimes the only way left to him to rouse the Government and the public. We should, said the speaker, think a little more sympathetically for each other.
