Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Labor Problem in the United States: An Independent Contribution Towards Its Solution
The common assumption isthat the strike has ended. In bold and flaming type the newspapers have announced the collapse of the insurrection - the restoration of order - the resumption of trade; and following close upon such announcements have been appeals for vengeance, and promises of reform. But. Does not the language used betray a secret uneasiness? Is there not a suppressed fear that a worm is gawing at the root of our social system -that a canker is poison ing the streams of our national life There is a lull in the storm - a suspension of hostilities - a subsidence of the primal causes of the recent violent, foolish, wicked outbreak. But is it not palpable that neither party has frankly and unequivocally given way - that the opera tive classes have not renounced their demands - that the railway companies have not yielded to dictation - that thousands Of the unemployed are still clamoring for bread At best there is a hollow truce.
