PARLIAMENT costs the public over a pound a minute when it sits; politicians lavishly spend the public money tripping to London or around the Dominion; the wealthy keep armies of people away from productive labour, waiting upon their whims; but the capitalist press and the Welfare League never complain about such extravagance. It is only when a convention of hornyhanded toilers meets that the, would-bu union-wreckers would pry into the expenses of the delegates. The Grey 1 ’ Star ” has lately been trying to discredit Labour organisations by insinuating their funds are spent somewhat u»economically. It has been quoting the Welfare League’s comments upon the published balance sheets of the Waterside workers’ and the Miners’ Federations; and has suggested the moneys should have been applied to some purposes—not named —other than they were. It suggests that delegates to conferences ami officials should have been limited to smaller allowances and salaries.

Better still, io away with conferences, and organisers, and secretaries of unions! That s the first step to doing away with all Labour organisation—which, in turn, will pave the way nicely to a profiteers’ paradise. As a “clincher” to it« insinuation that unionism means the same thing as capitalism, namely, the de’rauding of unionists, the “Star” prints a list of the expenses of the delegates who attended the Miners’ Federation annual conference in 1921, there were 24 delegates, who on the iverage devoted about 161 days to the conference, and the expenses averaged between £35 and £36 apiece, including ravelling expenses and wages. Their .vages would comprise half the total of 5850; and, after their travelling expenses were met, it would be interestng to know from the “Star,” or its nentor, the Welfare League, how much vould remain for the motor cars, cham-pagne,-opera boxes, and the other litlc incidentals as are such unconsidered rifles at a conference of the Employers’ Association. The “Star” shows the ’ eal objects of its innuendos by asking ire the “bulk” of the electors likely o entrust the management of the eoun-
