Excerpt from Trade Unions

The present little book owes its composition to the friendly importunities of the editor of the series, and not to any desire on the part of the author to volunteer enlightenment on so difficult a subject; but it claims to be an attempt to hold the balance level between the two parties to the Labour Contract - the Employer and the Employed - whose relations, be it remarked, are better in Great Britain than in any other country in the world.

The subject is not only difficult, it is also a matter of the most serious consequence. The working classes are taking from day to day a greater interest and a greater share in the government of the British Empire. The trade union is the school in which the pick of these men have learnt the earliest lessons of public life.
