which would come up for consideration.
He wanted above all things to effect
further legislation for the protection of
the workingmen. The strike move
ments during the past year had sug-
gested an examination of the question
whether the laws of the existing state
organization adequately took into ac-
count those wishes of the Workingmen
which are justi6able and capable of
realization. The questions claiming
the foremost attention were those Of
Sunday rest and the restriction of wom-
ems and children'S labor. The federal
governments were convinced that the
proposals of the last reiehstag might, in
their essential points. become laW,and
be carried into practice without detri-
ment to other interests. The legal pr o.
visions for the protection of working
men against dangers threatening the ir
lives, health and morals were suscepti-
laws relative to the issue OF labor regu-
latiODs. The rules concerning working
mems books also required to be supple
mented, with the object of assuring pa
rental authority, in view of the increas-
ing INSTRUMENTATION among youth full
Workingmen. His majesty said that a
bill on this subject would be laid before
the reichstag. Another bill will be sub
mitted for the better regulation and Or
ganiZation of Industrial
Courts Of arbitration,
SO that the courts may be appealed to
for the settlement of disputes between
employers and the employed. The
emperor continued: 81 trust you are
willing to cooperate in order to Drl ng
about an agreement between the iegls-
latiye bodies upon the proposed reforms
and thus take significant forward step
in the peaceful development of the con-
ditions of labor. A just solicitude for
the workmen constitutes the most eff
fectual means by which to strengthen
the resources with which [ and my ex-.
allied allies are resolved to oppose with
unbending determination any attempt
to disturb the legal order of things. In
effeeting these reforms only such meas
ureS will come up for consider alton as
can be carried out without endan-
gefing the interests Of fatherland.
Our industry only forms a
link in the economic work of nations
