The Labor Question

By Editor

We greatly regret that we could not obtain from representative labor leaders and capitalists articles for this number. We wrote to several on both sides of the question, but obtained no reply from capitalists. Two labor union leaders, Mr. Gompers and Mr. Mitchell, were too busy to furnish the articles. Mr. Gompers suggested the reproduction of an editorial in the American Federationist; we asked him to designate, but received no reply. We, therefore, reproduced another article of his designed to cover, at least the year 1903. The article from Mr. D. M. Parry is from the view-point of the employer; while that of General H. G. Otis is a general view on the principles involved. We hope that all will be read candidly and carefully, and weighed in the balance of Everlasting Right.
