Notes of the Week. Peace Riots. Whilst the whole civilized world was rejoicing because the war had ended, and showering congratulations upon the two nations that had agreed to sheath the sword, the common people in the capital of Japan broke out into furious antagonism to the signed treaty. A great demonstration was held in the principal park of the city, attended by about 100,000 persons, to protest against the ratifica- tion of the treaty. From the park the infuriated mob marched into the city, attacked the residence of the Minister of the Interior, and the office of the principal newspaper that had supported the Government in making peace, burnt several police stations, and destroyed several Christian churches and mission schools. But after martial law had been declared, the rioters quieted down, and as we write compara- tive calm reigns in Tokio. To their credit the Mikado and his Government have held firm, and there is no fear that the ratification of the terms agreed upon in Portsmouth will be refused. Should that, however, occur, Japan would lose all the respect she has won. It is quite natural to understand the disappointment of the common people at the terms of the treaty. They have made enormous sacrifices to enable their rulers to carry on the war, and to bring about the downfall of the enemy who had menaced them and hindered the development of their country; and they see that enemy allowed to go free from paying any indemnity towards recouping them. They find, also, that their diplomatists are not so able to defeat Russian strategy around a table, as their generals are to defeat Russian strategy on the battle field. Still, it is a great pity that they should have lost their self-control in this fashion. The people of Japan had given such a splendid example of moderation and trust in their rulers during the whole period of the war, that the news of this outburst came upon us as a great shock. We know now that they are only human after all. The Parliament of Labour.—The annual con- ference of the Trades Unionists was held last week in Hanley under the presidency of Mr. James Sexton, of Liverpool. The proceedings followed very largely the usual course of such gatherings. No very exciting business was down for consideration, unless we accept the election of a new secretary to succeed Mr. Sam Woods, who is retiring owing to ill health after a lengthened period of strenuous service. For this post, which is considered the highest in the Labour world, there was a very keen contest between Mr. Will Steadman, so well known in London industrial circles, and Mr. A. Stanley, of the Miners' Federation. It resulted in the choice of Mr. Steadman by a majority of 28,000 votes in a total poll of 1,522,000. A strong resolution in favour of Free Trade and against Protection was passed by such an over- whelming majority as to be practically unani- mous. On all questions affecting democracy the parliament of labour is progressive to the core, and it is a thousand pities that such a large section of it should show such jealousy and distrust of the other progressive forces in the country. On one question alone did the Congress come to a decision that gives pain to labour's friends—the question of arbitration in trade disputes. Why should labour men be afraid of entrusting their grievances to the con- sideration of a properly constituted tribunal? The only answer given is that such a tribunal is more likely to be guided by the laws, or the presumed laws of supply and demand, than by the claim of labour to a certain remuneration quite apart from the question of profit and loss. But surely this is a matter of detail. In any Act of Parliament setting up such a tribunal, a clause or a schedule deciding "minimum wage" could easily be inserted; or the said tribunal could be instructed to make the fixing of a standard for the various trades its first duty. To reject a principle acted upon already in so many cases because of fear that it may not act in their favour under certain circum- stances is unworthy of the leaders of democracy. We are at one with labour in almost all its demands. Most of the theories set up by political economists are nothing less than special pleading on behalf of capital set up to persuade the State to allow the masters to rob the men of what is justly due to them. At the same time, an artificial wage standard, fixed without any consideration whatsoever of the law of supply and demand, would inevitably destroy its own purpose. But, as we have said, this is a detail concerning which reasonable men could easily come to an understanding. The strength of the claims of labour lies in the justice of those claims, and to reject the principle of arbitration leaves an impression on the general public that the leaders of labour do
