can scarcely have any thing else than a
beneficial effect since the different
countries that have voted in favor Of the
propositions for the improvement OF the
condition of labor doubtless mean 70 en-
force them IN their own territory.
Should they fail to do so, the wage
workers would be driven to agitate and
demand their enforcement It is high
desirable thatthe condition of European
labor should be improved. as any step in
that direction would have an indirect
effect on the condition Of the wage
worker here. IL would tend to keep
the European laborers in their own

The next step Ia the agitation was =
series OF simultaneous msss-meetings
throughout the country. These were
held on February 22 July and Labor
