Excerpt from Trade Unions
There would therefore appear to be a need for definite information in a brief, compact form con cerning the history, constitution, and aims of trade unions, especially as the average man has little more accurate knowledge of these than he has of a Russian artel or an Italian co-operative association. One prevalent fallacy seems to be that a trade union exists solely to foster strikes, harass employers, and hamper industry. Many educated people would be surprised to learn that during the eleven years 1892-1902 the ICC prin cipal trade unions Spent 61 per cent. Of the total income - that is, out of J516,900,000 on the various friendly benefits to their members, while even more would receive with incredulity the assertion that only 19 per cent. Of the same total was expended on labour disputes.

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.
