Old Labor Laws.

Combinations of labor are no new
thing a significant statute was passed
during the reign of Edward VI. Q547-
so of England, when many of the
principal citizens of London, having
sustained considerable injury from
combinations and conspiracies daily
concerted by j0urncymen and laborers,
applied TO parliament for redress" The
statute ordained that "if any artticers,
workmcn or laborers do conspire cove
nant or promise together that they
shall not make or do their work but at
a certain price or rate, or shall not en-
terprise or take upon them to finish
that work which another hath begun.
or shall do but certain work in Il day,
or shall not work but Mt certain times or
hours, that every person so conspl .ng.
being thereof convicted by witnesses,
confession or otherwise, shall forfeit

days' Imprisonment. besides being rem
dered Infamous and incapable OF Civ

uses its tail as a trewei, plastering the
