Extract

With the relations between management and labor being discussed on every hand today, the following notice is of topical interest. It reproduces the contents of a printed communication, now in the Society's collection, which was addressed to the employees of the Boston and Worcester Railroad shortly after the panic of 1857. The metaphor becomes somewhat confused as business changes from a ship in the first paragraph to a machine with wheels in the second, but the tone and logic of the appeal are attractive.
