Excerpt from Labor Problems and Labor Legislation
Broadly conceived the labor movement is the progress of the masses of the people up from slavery, their escape through serfdom into the wage system, and their ever continuing struggle to improve their economic and social condition.
Industrial progress, like the improvement of city streets, requires continual change. It is never finished. Many inconveniences are en dured as we pass from one stage of development to the next. To avoid greater disorder, certain organized methods are employed and temporary rules of conduct are obeyed.

Excerpt from Labor Problems and Labor Legislation
America has won a world war for democracy. Counting not the cost in suffering and treasure, she took her stand in the trenches of liberty, that the conditions of the people of the world might be bettered. No selfish aims marred the morale of her splendid fighting forces, and in the great settlement her weight was thrown in the scales for liberty and justice to all.
The world war in which we were victorious closed one epoch of human history, and opened another - a new era in which the principles of righteousness and equality of opportunity are to march on until they come into their own in the minds and institutions of men. The same progressive spirit which made our nation strong in time of strife must guide our steps in the days of peace. As President Wilson well said, "The men in the trenches, who have been freed from the economic serfdom to which some of them have been accustomed, will, it is likely, return to their homes with a new view and a new impatience of all mere political phrases, and will demand real thinking and sincere action."
