...severe treatment of the law be sifted from the large majority of right-thinking working men, and the possibility of serious labor disturbances next spring be prevented. The government has an enormous but imperative task upon its hands. A general appreciation of its difficulties and the support of popular opinion will do much to aid it in its work...
