moderation of Its demands when the
revival of the country's Industries Jus

throughout the United States.
The Idea of a universal combination
of wnge workers Is as old as clvlllzn

specializing of labor made the demand
for such a combination Imperative In

ago the organization of a great cen
tral confederation of wage workers was
undertaken despite the melancholy
recollections of the National LaBor
Union, which, organized at Daltimoro
in 18GG. grew rapidly but illoglcnlly
