Men who have labor to sell have discovered that they stand on equal ground with = thoss whe want to bay it, and they deal with = them without fear and without excitement. If the employers will only show the same calm and dignified #pirit, there is no reason why the labor market should not be ns free from quarrels and ll feeling as Wall street or the dry goods auct on room.
