At the end of each week she gave her parents her usual wage, but when her thirty dollars was exhausted it seemed unendurable that she should return to the monotony of the factory. In the light of her newly acquired experience she had learned that possibility which the city ever holds open to the restless girl.
"No; I don't make out to find much time for it before I get home o' nights," said Caleb. "Anything doin'?" "Yes; they are having a hot time in Chicago and Pullman. The strike is spreading all over the country on sympathy lines." "Reckon it'll get down to us in any way?" queried the iron-master. "You can't tell. I'd be a little easy with Ludlow and his outfit on that wage scale, if I were you."
The two reports were enclosed, and when all three reports were read Peter asked for the wage sheet of the mine. There was no cause of complaint there. "The articles of the last settlement between the firm and the men have been rigorously adhered to?" questioned Masters, flinging down the paper. "Rigorously.

These councils or boards should consist of representatives of the workers and of the employers. Representatives of the public might act upon these boards or councils in advisory capacity. There might be both a central board or council, and various district boards or councils in each industry. These joint boards could be given other duties outside of the administration of the living wage policy.

The South is growing rich and powerful." Lee lifted his hand in a quick gesture of protest. "A popular delusion, my friend. Under Slave labor the South is growing poorer daily. While the Northern States, under the wage system, ten times more efficient, are draining the blood and treasure of Europe and growing richer by leaps and bounds.
In the Crimea and in China, he had shown what he could do as a soldier; at Gravesend he had set a noble example to the world of what a Christian philanthropist might do in his spare hours; and now he was to be called to wage war with the horrors of slavery.
