Plentiful end Labor Had s* to Make Trouble to Raise Wages in ?( Proportion to Cost of Living. P< New York Herald. ( ?t That familiar old saying, "History st repeats itself," gives a great deal of comfort in these times of strikes, ex- of travagance, fear, doubt, and social jo ?nd Industrial unrest. It should I in "buck up" those who are asking, in "What is the world coming,to?" in This is not the first time this country has experienced these , conditions, hs later to emerge into years and gen- nc erations of unexampled individual and national happiness. By the same w; token it is destined to do so again. io Immediately after the Civil War lei the country was far more disturbed N*1 and the outlook darker than now. til The social and industrial conditions ed of that exciting epoch seem, confused ci< in the minds of those who having only nv read of them are unduly disturbed by Af those which threaten today. Written F' history only sums up. The unfolding sL of events is best followed in the ur daily newspapers of the time of their so actual happening. From ^his source fo and from reports of various commer- m cial bodies together wit,h those of of societies anmmanders forbade strikes and enrced their orders by arrests. Had Longshoremen's Stroke Then. The Reading Railroad, tied up by riking engineers, was seized by the >vernment, and run by the military >wer of the United States; the riking longshoremen in New York ood idle while transports were loadl by deserters under a strong guard soldiers. Some of the laboring men ined the army, some went to farms the west, others roved about seekg work and a fraction remained in dustrial centers and formed unions. Labor unions were not new. They id existed before 1837, but were >t numerous or strong. With the rising prices and dropping ages the formation of new labor unns was {he watchword of the labor adcrs. In big industrial cities like bw York and Philadelphia they muljlied rapidly. Scarcely a night passin some months without new soetics being launched. At one mass eeting in New York more than j ty new unions were represented, om these, often embracing only a ngle Bhop, have grown the national lions of the present day. The new : cieties did not go into politics, but rmulated the complaints and deands of labor as to wages and hours work. Their slogan was? "Eight hours for work, eight hours r rest, eight hours for social re- ' a eation. j Strikes kept up, but with less vio- . nee. Whole trades rarely stayed out 1 every employer capitulated. The I ethods of the strike were the same today. Capital began to make ccnssions and gradually a better feelg held sway, but it was a long ne before the country settled down normal conditions.

I When you buy Pepto-Mangan of i k'our druggist, be sure the name 'Gude's'' is on the package. Without, 'Glide's'*' it is not Pepto-Mangan.
