IT DOES CONCERN THE PUBLIE deeply, profoundly. It wos because of thiacon- cern tht the Cleveland Convention tnok action on the subject and brought It prosiinently forward for discussion. Itwas unwilling that the public Inind, sronmed by recent events to a sense of the magnitude and the great importance of the question, should relapse into remus withont ree- ommending the creation of a tribunal commission: ed to search out the catves of theau events anid suggest peaceful metho:ls For their removal. ‘To this end it recommended the creation of National Durean of Industry, in order that labor, whose in- terents are inseparably linked to the common wel- fare, Fone be brought into closer and more sympa tuetle relations to Government. MLitherto the great interests of agrientture, mann- facture, and commerce have fad thelr chauneis of access to Government. and sympathy, Tt ie now proposed that Jabor shall linve the like consideration. The func- tious of the Bureau will bo a mattor of ‘legislative detail, to be molded and enlaryed as citcamstances ehall demand, Charged as it doubtlers will be with the duty of collecting the statistics and ex- pertences of the labor problem in this and other countries, and dissciinating thelr. lessons to the building up of correct knowledge ond the forma- tion of dn enlightened pubite sentiment In resard to fhe overations of our Industries, it can be made powerfally inatrumental through theac in the re- pression of discontent without turbulesce on the ono hand or the employ tnent of force on the other, 1 am unwilling fo hetleve that American labor is incapable of belng iniuenced by considerations of Teason and justice; that itcan only be controlled by the Jaw uf force.
