Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aims of Labour IN presenting this little volume to the public no pretence is made that it is a complete or comprehen sive statement of the aims of British Labour, nor is it an attempt to write a book on Labour Politics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labour and the Popular Welfare Nearly all the general truths of Economic Science are, directly or indirectly, truths about the character or the actions of human beings. It is, consequently, always well to warn the readers of economic works, that in Political Economy, more than in any other science, every general rule is fringed with exceptions and modifications; and that instances are never far to seek which seem to prove the reverse of what the general rule states, or to make the statement of it appear inaccurate. But such general rules need be none the less true for this; nor for practical purposes any the less safe to reason from. They resemble.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Labour Movement The following chapters profess to give neither a history of the Labour Movement nor a statistical account of the present industrial position. Their aim is merely, first, to state and brie y defend certain principles of economic reform; secondly, to Show that under many differences of application and detail these principles are common to various industrial movements of the present day; and accordingly to argue that the movements in question have a natural basis for a Closer alliance with one another and a reasonable claim on the support of all who desire a remedy for economic evils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Labour There may be no doubt that the present age is of the great ages of the world. We who now live have experienced disasters more serious than those of preceding generations. We have also had offered to us as compensation opportunities that do not frequently recur. It is for us to move the world forward or backward. Belonging to such an age, I make no apology for endeavouring to see, by a consideration of the past, what are our tendencies and whither they are leading. As Carlyle once said, "Not on Ilion's or Latium's plains; on far other plains and places henceforth can noble deeds be now done. Not on Ilion's plains; how much less in Mayfair's drawing rooms! Not in victory over poor brother French or Phrygians; but in victory over Frost-jotuns, Marsh-giants, over demons of Discord, Idleness, Injustice, Unreason, and Chaos come again. None of the old Epics is longer possible." We have arrived at a time when the masses definitely and undoubtedly matter; when it is no longer a question of the Have-nots reaching out their hands for the possessions of the Haves. The conscience of mankind has at length realized the truth of what the Encyclopaedists declared, that mankind was composed not of some men, but of all men. With that realization the story of all men - the masses - becomes not merely invested with interest, but of importance. When Eden wrote his history toward the end of the eighteenth century, he wrote with his eye mainly on the Poor Law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Clean Peace: The War Aims of British Labour The statement of war aims adopted by the Socialist and Labour Parties of Great Britain, France, Italy, and Belgium at the Inter-Allied Conference, held in London on February 22, 1918, is practically the same as that previously adopted by the British Labour Party and British Trade Unionist Congress on December 28, 1917.It is therefore a statement of British origin. In its original form it received the cordial endorsement of American Labour, and in its present form it may be said to represent, with authority, the views common to organised Labour in all the Allied countries. The statement contains here and there suggestions which will be received with more sympathy in Socialist circles than elsewhere, but on the great issues of war and peace it reveals a close and welcome agreement between the purpose and aims of organised Labour and those of the British Government and the British people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book The Dignity of Labour written by Jon Cruddas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does work give our lives purpose, meaning and status? Or is it a tedious necessity that will soon be abolished by automation, leaving humans free to enjoy a life of leisure and basic income? In this erudite and highly readable book, Jon Cruddas MP argues that it is imperative that the Left rejects the siren call of technological determinism and roots it politics firmly in the workplace. Drawing from his experience of his own Dagenham and Rainham constituency, he examines the history of Marxist and social democratic thinking about work in order to critique the fatalism of both Blairism and radical left techno-utopianism, which, he contends, have more in common than either would like to admit. He argues that, especially in the context of COVID-19, socialists must embrace an ethical socialist politics based on the dignity and agency of the labour interest. This timely book is a brilliant intervention in the highly contentious debate on the future of work, as well as an ambitious account of how the left must rediscover its animating purpose or risk irrelevance.
Download or read book Common Sense and Labour Classic Reprint written by Samuel Crowther and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense and Labour The matter of hours is on the same basis. The desire for an eight-hour or a six-hour day would be perfectly comprehensible if the workers gave any evidence at all of desiring so to limit their working time, but they seem to want the eight-hour day as a basis of pay and not as a period of work. We have had several strikes because the request for the eight hour day was granted literally, whereas what the workers wanted was a ten-hour day with overtime during two hours of it. The unions have no answer. They have gained the eight-hour day, which used to be a Shibboleth, they are talking of and also succeeding in extending union control, but beyond that they have only vague formulas and some interesting excursions into inter nationalism, possibly with the thought that if you cannot set your own house in order, it is diverting to poke about your neighbour's premises. The progress of events has caught up with trades unions' platforms and the workers are less happy than ever they were.

Download or read book Labor and the Common Welfare Classic Reprint written by Samuel Gompers and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and the Common Welfare The men and women who work for wages will largely shape the fortunes of America during the next generation. No other one fact stands out so sharply in the aftermath of the world war. According to the point of view, it is an outlook of menace or of confidence. There is apprehension in many minds that this vast emergence of labor, like the rising of a new continent out of the sea, means the sinking of civilization all about it under a wave of revolution and anarchy. On the other hand, there is a growing perception among people who think carefully and see far, that there are foundations under this new continent, that tremendous stabilizing forces have been at work. Perhaps we have only half believed that the welfare of mankind really is most secure when the pyramid rests broadly upon its base instead of balancing on its apex; that the safest thing in human society, ultimately the only thing that is safe, is freedom, under the self-control of democracy. The growth of just this saving power of self-control, right in heart of the labor problem itself, is what most reassures those who see the future of democracy mainly as an industrial issue. That the trade union has been and is a great training school in every-day working democracy, whatever else may be said of it, is at last dawning on the general consciousness. Through a hundred years of fierce controversy, against the bitter hostility of most of the community instead of with its help, workingmen have been learning in their own way the one thing which in 1919, this crucial day of reconstruction, has come to stand between civilization and anarchy - the settled habit of self-government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men, the Workers In this collection of articles and addresses the editors have endeavoured to show as com prehensively as possible Mr. Lloyd's attitude toward the Labour Movement in the various concrete forms in which it presented itself to him. Some of the incidents which called forth his word have become historic, While others have been forgotten in the lapse of years; but each and every one of the questions treated is a Vital issue in the world of labour to-day. The recognition of the union, the legal restriction of the hours of labour, the issuance of injunctions in labour disputes, and the relation of the labour movement to private monopoly, are as essen tially a part of that movement to-day as they Were in 1889 or in 1894.
