In viowlng the Imrados the onlool ( .

grandeur of Industry. I..ahor . is not
only honorable , but is necessary fot'
the development of Intolllgonco and
power , amI l'el1resCl\ many pllll\Ses
at life. To quo to a woll.lmo n friend
.of all Industrial worlwt's :
"Labor is at once a burden , n cJIIlS'
tlsement , an honor , tlud tl llieasure.
It may bo indenHfled with 11overty ,
but there is also glory In it. It bears
wltnoss , tlt the same time , to our nat.

The demonstrations upon Labot' da '
recall nlso the marvelous growth of
the labor organizations of the United
States. There has lIeen a wonderful
transformation In respect to the num.
ber , character and Infiuenco of trado.
\mlons within a quarter of a century.
The most Inveterate opponents ot
labor bodies are obllgod to admit
that the IndustrIal community as a
whole is under many obligations to
the un.Ions. This Is bpcauso they
have mitigated many ImbUc evils.
They have reduced' very materially
what used to be the unrcasonablo
number of hours In a day's worl ( .
They have proved health conditions
In factories and mInes and have pro. '
cured the passage of Inws which , havo' '
led to improved sanitary conditions
In many communities. They have
also handled vigorously the child la.
bar question and prevented many
: : hlldren from working in factories.
Oy uniting' and laboring for tholr own ,
Belf.protectlon and advancement the ) '
have also been enabled to assist thou.
illnds of workers who do not belong
to their organization to a' large meas.
ure of Industrial prosporlty.
Pessimists are prone to prodlct dan.
gers ahead from trade unlon8. As
the labor organIzations have como to'
stay in this country and are filled
WIUl brainy men of lofty alms and
laudable llrojocts , deslgnell to raise
the standard of labor and to benefit
the masses , there should be universal
hope instead of Cear for the future
Df American industries. The times
are changIng' , and are changing for
the bettor In labor circles. The sub.
ject of wage agreemcnts between
large employOl's or combinations of' '
eml11 yors and trade unions Is at.
tractlng mal'O at.
tentlon every
year. The im.
portance of continuous -
