Excerpt from Voice of Labor: Containing Special Contributions by Leading Workingmen Throughout the United States, With Opinions of Statesmen and Legislators Upon the Great Issues of the Day; Plain Talk by Men of Intellect on Labor's Rights, Wrongs, Remedies and Prospects; History Of IT has been said that the literature of an age is but the reflex of the times, and the voice OF labor is not an exception. The labor movement has been a great theme for both the people and the press during the last few years, and in consequence there has risen a demand for literature upon the subject.
