Excerpt from The Labour Movement in Australasia: A Study in Social-Democracy

The American Federation of Labour has recently advised the trade unions of the United States to enter the next political campaign. This action may not revolutionise our parties, but nevertheless the step is significant. It indicates maturity of sentiment in favour of political action not hitherto manifested by conservative labour organisations. Though most American unions have opposed socialism, still, considering current phases of popular thought, they can hardly engage in politics without making socialist policies a live issue - perhaps in the near future a leading issue - before our people. Therefore the experience of the Australasian democracies, so closely resembling the United States, where a powerful political party has been erected upon a foundation of trade unionism, has timely interest for Americans.
