Talks on the Labor Troubles (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Talks on the Labor Troubles The following Talks were delivered to an audience composed largely of workingmen, one each week, last Spring, prior to the Anarchist outbreak in Chicago. The series had been sometime in contemplation, and preparation had been partly made before the recent industrial disturbances began. Those disturbances therefore were not the cause, though they hastened somewhat the delivery of the Talks. They were printed week by week in the Dubuque Times as they were delivered. The public interest which they aroused, indicated by editorial comment, newspaper extracts and communications addressed to the author; the present great importance of the theme, and the request of prominent persons who heard the Talks, constitute my apology for consenting to the publication.
