The Victories of Labor.

That a better understanding has been
reached between capital and labor appears
from the noticeable change wrought IN the
character Of the controversies between em-
ployer and employe. Great strikes are

precipitately. nor are they characterized by
that destruction of property and violence

with enthusiasm, has been dropped by fair
minded workingmen. OF course. exceptions

there has been a marked progress. that there
is a general tendency in the direction we

and appreciate more fully that capital
and labor are not enemies. and that more can

hostile conflict. But it is IN legislation that
labor has won its greatest achievements of
recent wears. In almost every State laws
have been enacted enlarging the rights OF
workingmen, and securing for them potec-
tion and advantages of which they had been
deprived The recent labor statutes OF New
York or Massachusetts, would nil a volume
