The rising tide Of industrial produc-
ton and Of business prosperity ought
to mean also an improvement in the
general condition of the people. And
according to Bradstreet's, during the
first six months of 1899, voluntary in
crease in wages proved to be the rule
rather than the exception" involving
an addition of many millions to the in
come Of working men and women.
This is pleasanter reading than reports
Of the strikes. some of which have been
bitterly contested.
