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.
