international movements. The residents in the
Chicago Settlements became pioneer members in
the American branch of the International League
for Labor Legislation, because their neighborhood
experiences had made them only too conscious of
the dire need for protective legislation. In such a
league, with its ardent members in every industrial
nation of Europe, with its encouraging reports of
the abolition of all night work for women in six
European nations, with its careful observations on
the results of employer's liability legislation and
protection of machinery, one becomes identified
with a movement of world-wide significance and
manifold manifestation.
