astically vclcomed by thousands vho have
been cagetly awaiting its appearance. Kcr
Is Interest In this new Journalistic
\cnturo limited to England , but it
cxtonus whcro'ver English speaking men are
earning bicad b ) sweat of their brows. Im-
mcnsrordcis forpapcra have been leeched
by cable fiom America and clbcvvhcie. The
Labor \Voild rciembles the Pall Mall Gazette
In slo and form , with aixtccn neatly printed
pagef , live nariovv columns to the page. Its
snlutatorj edltoiial contains the following :
The Labour World begins Its career at a
tlmo when working mon and women
aio no longer required to beg for the advo
cacy of their Interest In the press. Neverthe
less , we hive the ambition to become of some
service to tlio cause now enlisting under Its
banner some of the foremost nritcis of the
day. Now what docs the nc\v \ progressive
labor movement demand ) Its claims may
perlnps In summed up under three heads :
"I It asks for better and moro democratic
orjan/ation ! of hbor ,
" 2 It demands that to the community , not
lo the landlord , shall accrue that Immense
annual eiiciemcnt duo to general industry
and cnteipilso ,
"Jl It calls foi an cttemlon of state and
municipal contiol anel oirncuhip of such
monopolies as can bo managed by public
bodies In the public inteiost.
"Undei the flist head will come
ndcquate Inspection of all factories and vork
shops by practical vvorklngincn anuwoitcn ,
and reduction of hours of labor whenever
possible. We can scarcely estimate fully the
Imnienso benefits \vhlch people may derive
from shortening the houis of their longand
monotonous toil ,
"Under the second licad will come the
taxation , of ground \alucs to bo applied to
purposes of public Improvement , ana the
nbsoiption by the state of mineral loyalties.
In London alone wo pay this year to grouiul
landlords 15,000,000 merely for permission
to llvo hcte. This hugo sum
is not paid for any value ro-
ccicil. It Is a fine levied on labor and
invention by men who have never raised n
finger to earn It , and which is Increasing at
such a late as to reader Us possessors rich
beyond dieatns ol avarice. \ \ eaitn thus
poured unjustly into prlvato coffers might ,
if put to public purposes , render this
hugo London the most attractive city In the
woilil. The great purposes to - liich
it should bo put are the provision of healthy
elwellings and rational recreation and In
struction for the people.
"Under the third head comes the absorp
tion \mblicbodicsof such Institutions as
maikots , docks , harbors , gas and.watcr and
electric lighting works , railway , traimvays ,
omnibuses nnd other means ot transit.
The public should own these necessary
monopolies and shoulel no longer permit prl
vato people to iniiko rent and prollts out of
them. 'Ihe county or town councils should
immediately control and then own and ad-
ininlstei theseaucl other uselul and neces
sary institutions.
'Suchbioadly , jpeaklng , are tlio reforms
