Lower still, we come to a very hot place indeed, but, like all the other vast compartments of the manufactory, as well ventilated, spacious, and airy as is possible to conceive, the workman's inconvenience from the heat being thereby reduced to a minimum.
"Not less than ten stories, and a minimum rental of three thousand dollars a suite?" "Yes." "You can't sell it for that price with those restrictions." "We can build on it," replied Johnny calmly. "You won't," asserted Mr. Chase with equal conviction. "You bought it to sell. I'll give you two hundred and fifty thousand."

In savage warfare in a flat country the power of modern machinery is such that flesh and blood can scarcely prevail, and the chances of battle are reduced to a minimum.

The man goes without his meat, the mother without her tea, the children without the trifling, inexpensive luxuries with which parental fondness usually treated them. Before the end of the second week a good many are hungry, and the workers begin to pine for employment.
It is a serious national evil that any class of his Majesty's subjects should receive in return for their utmost exertions less than a living wage. It was formerly supposed that the workings of the laws of supply and demand would in the regular and natural course of events, and by a steady progression, eliminate that evil, and achieve adequate minimum standards.
Germany took the initiative in seeking a truce, and in 1910 an agreement was reached between Mr Fielding and the German consul-general.
