No Secrecy Asked by Labor.

Labor Commissioner Peck, of New York, who ought to be designated rather Commissioner for Capital Peck, states in his reply to' the court at Albany that every time he sent out circulars asking for information he “invariably gave pledges of secrecy. * It is a curious fact in the transactions carried on by Commissioner Peck that it was only protected monopolists who desired this pledge at his hands. Labor has asked no secrecy from Peck. If there be a workingman from end to end of this country whose wages have been inoreased by the McKinley bill he will excuse Peck from keeping the fact secret. If the McKinley bill had raised the wages of any rank, or any division of workingmen, they would be eager to

proclaim the fact Where are these men? Who are they? In what industry are they occupied? No workingman wants to rob a tariff law or any other law of the credit due it for raising his wages. Labor asks no secrecy about its fortune under the McKinley law. — Chicago Herald.
