righis, chief among which is the privi-
lege Of organization without infringing

most difficult questions in our

ton of strikes. Strikes, as
ex Experience has beea demonstrated. are
very questionable means for the redress
of laborers' grievances. Statistics furn-

eight years amounted nearly to $751;

half this amount. l earnestly hope
