wiser and juster for Judge Field To
remedy infinite wrongs done by John

cost the South 5000, 100000, bankrupt

Judge Field should advise measures 10

TIE LABOR AND WAGE COMMISSION.

They struck, aud IA | was president OF
the local league or labor union | hHG
the strike against my firm and
against the railway corporations OF
the place. They came TO terms and
little harm was done. But my sympa-

the other in this conflict aud i've
sought ever since to discover just
method Of reconciling these diilercu-

that their labors and inquiries are in
vain until they have defined n per-
fectly just plan OF, partnership be
