Mr. King, at the age of 19, | won the REilake scholarship in Arts | and Law, while tn his secopd year at the walversity. Even as an endergraduate Mr. "King manifested a deep Interest in industrial and sconemic subjects, and devotad considerable time to a study of them. This"interest was deepened by his experiences as a reporter, sub- sequent io graduation. Mr. King ac- | cepted a position en the Toronto! | Globe st a salary of $1 a day-- "ani, it wasn't Ga. | he himsel! quired his @ taste for politics through his association, as a reporter, | with the election of 1898, In which his future shiel, Bir Wilirid Laurier, | 'was placed in power, Mr. King served also en the To- | ronto Nows ard the Toronto 'Mail, | but--ether Imisrests were asserting | beckoning him ths and pur- 1838 /he™~ wentrabroad, talu $France, Geor- sad Italy, and! insight into the eco- | nomle systems of each of these coun- | tries, which wea later to serve Rin in good stead.

The ell owing yoar he rec recogni- tion at the hands of " Imperial Government : member of the anti-opium cemmis- sion which met at Shanghai, China. | In 19809 Mc. King also received the | portfolio of Minister of Labor in the Laurier Government. Hon. Mr. King's t 'a8 Minister of Labor. was terminated by the general election of 1911, im 'which the reciprocity issue spelled disaster to the Laurier Administration, but in { the brief" two years which he held | office -the. Minister gave abundant, earnest proof of his devotion to the 1 cause of labor. The most notable plece of legis- lation introduced by him was prob- ably his bill 'providing for _investiga- tion of trusts and mergers. He was 'also instrumental in securing the | passage of the bili gnaranteeing an eight- hout day for Government em- | ployes. "Settlement of the G.T.R. | strike of 19Y1 is also ascribed to his tactful mediation, which resulted in reinstatement of men who had been dismissed for théir share in the strike, The next chapter in the public life of Mr. King concerns his association with one of the foremost indubtries of the centurys--the Rockefeller foun- | dation, established by John D. Rocke- feller for tho promotion 6f ¢loser and more | sympathetic co-operation. ne- tween capital and labor. On October 1, 1914, Mr. King accepted the chair- manship of the Industrial Relations Department of the Foundation, with the object of undertaking an invest!- gation of economic. conditions, "as wide as the North Alerican contin- ent si "lI -would net Bave accepted this post," said Hon. Mr. King in a sub: sequent address, replying .to eriti- cisms of his aMlation with an Amer- ican institution, 'had it meant sac- rificing my citizenshir or renouncing my career in Canada.' One of Mr. King's avtiondils head of the industrial department of the foungation was supervision of the distribution among thousands of starving miners of Colorado of the sum of $100,000 appropriated by the foundation. Then followed a eom- prehensive study of industrial condi- tions in the same state,.-and pains- taking efforts for the construction of machinery designed to bring a new relationship betwean empleyer and employe. The resulis of thig investi- gation and study .are' largely em- bodied in the indusirial representa- tion plan first set in operation bhe- tween the Colorado Iron & Fuel Co. and its employes. The war having hampered to some degree the' progress of the founda- tion, Mr. Xing in 1817 resigned his position upon it. The election of 1917 found him again aligned with | his chieftain, Sir Wilfrié Laurier, in opposition to Union Government. | Hon. Mr, King conicsted the North York seat, but was defeated by J. A. M. Armstrong. | ~ Since 1917, one of Hon. Mr. King's | contributions to the cause of labor | has been his béok "Industry and | Humanity," published last winter, in | which he predicts the triumph of the i principle of industrial representation. He draws a paraliel in the growth of responsible government in the British. Empire. " | "Wherever, in- the affairs of the state," Mr. King writes, "one class has sought to maintain a monopoly of government, tlifere sooner or lat- er, conflict has been inevitable. In the struggle for an wider freedom, mankind will not rest until in in- dustry, government, whatever its form, is supersedad by a form of government representative of all the patties in + interest, and, altimately, by a system {| the corner-stone of which is respons- ible government." "It is not generuily known that Hon. W. L. Mackensie King is the hero of' Mrs. Humphrey Ward" ®, movel, "The { Canadian Bor," sonietimes known as "Lady Merton, Colonist,"" but thoss who have made a close study of the book, state that the character of George Anderson, the virile ypung Parliamentarian and labor leader, is modelled after the ex-Minister of Labor. Semblance is lent to this be- iief by the fact that .while in Eng- land in 1898-1900, Mr. King made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Ward and won the warm friendship | and admiration of both. A biog vy of Mr. Xing by Rob- | son Black, §ays: * "The chagupions of Mr: King hold him to be thoroughly : ambitious, x industrious, of cool and accurate judgment, with spleg- did scholarship snd plenty of prac- tice in the cause of public services. | The political and otaer eritics of Mr. ' Ving, admitting his aeademic dis- tinction #nd his zeal, point to his | mck of sense of hemor as an awk- | | ward handicap In such human deal- | | ings as are the essence of his pro- | | temgion.
