Excerpt from Striking for Life: Labor's Side of the Labor Question; The Right of the Workingman to a Fair Living The times are revolutionary. The energies of mankind in our day are immense. There is an extraordinary activity of the powers of life in our age. The world seems to be whirling more rapidly than ever before. Vast changes have been brought about in our generation; others are in progress; yet others are impending. There is a new spirit abroad, and its manifestations are everywhere. "Things are in the saddle." Questions from which there can be no escape are before us. The Labor Question is in the front. It is of supreme importance to all men, and to all women. It is related directly to the life of the whole people, to their natural and essential rights, to the welfare of the community, to popular freedom, and to the public peace.

Excerpt from The Labor Question in Its Economic and Christian Aspects Hence it is one of those natural laws, which it is not in the power of-man, or combinations of men, to alter or abrogate, that labor is absolutely dependent on capital, in some amount at least, for its very possibility'and sustentation and in still larger and ever increasing ratios for its success and rewards. Capital is the natural ally, support, and coadjutor of labor. It can notbe otherw1se, except in distempered misconceptions, or through some strange and monstrous mal-adjustment.
