Importance that labor should be made free,
heslthful, and secure Of just remuneration;
tition with the industry of abiding citizens;
thst the labor of children should be surround
ed with such safeguards as their health, their
right of education. and their future as useful
members of the community demand; that
whether large or small, should be
under such sanitary control as will insure the
health and comfort of the employed, and will
protect all against unwholesome labor and sur
that labor shall have the same
right as capital to combine for its own protee- |
ion, and that all egi>lation which cramps in
fustry or which enables the powerful to op-
press the weak should be repealed; and to pro
note the interests of labor we recommend the /
objection of statistics and information re- |
'pecting improvements and the needs and |
abuses of the various branches of industry. |
