Excerpt from Miners the Eight Hours Movement During the months of January and February, of the present year, a very important Conference was held in London, to consider the proposed Eight Hours Working Day in Mines. The Conference was a very large and representative one of Colliery Proprietors and Miners, and the proceedings excited great public interest. The letters constituting this Pamphlet appeared some of them during the Conference, and the remainder immediately 3 after, and were widely read. Consenting to a general desire, they are now presented in this collective form, in the hope that they may be of some service in enabling the Miners in particular, and the public in general, to understand clearly what the Eight Hours proposal really means. Miners, I know, will be willing to read all that can be said for and against. A good deal has been made, or tried to be made, of the fact that in Northumberland and Durham the Coal Hewers do not now work so much as eight hours per day. Still, they are strenuously opposed to a compulsory Eight Hours Day in Mining. Why? I will endeavour to supply the answer in the words of a very able Mining Contributor to a leading provincial journal (Manchester Guardian, Feb. 22rd, 1891.)

Excerpt from The Mining Institute of Scotland, Vol. 12: Transactions, 1890-91 Workmen have to be paid equally the same whether the work performed by them be useful or otherwise. If, therefore, owing to small roadways or any other cause, an extra amount of physical labour is required in order to produce a certain output which, with roomy roads, could be produced with less labour, it is at the expense of the owner, and not of the workmen, that this extra labour has to be performed. There are many who wonder what will be the ultimate result of the agitation going on at present to get an Act of Parliament passed restricting the employment of underground workmen to eight hours per day from bank to bank. For my part, I cannot see that there is any need for Government interference in the matter. I could understand that, where the physical or moral well-being of any class of workers has suffered from long hours Of labour, legislation should be called for; but it remains to be proved that miners, as a class, suffer in this respect. I venture to affirm that, for every miner who can be brought forward as having in recent years suffered physically or morally through long working hours, other fifty could be pointed out as having become physical and moral wrecks through strong drink, and yet we hear of no movement originating among such to remove from their midst that which has been proved to be the greatest curse, not only to miners, but to all classes of the community. On the average, the miner does not at present work more than eight hours per day, and it is quite long enough, but to compel him by Act of Parliament, and for no well-grounded reason, to refrain from ever being more than eight hours per day below ground is a very different matter, and would be as absurd as having an Act passed to compel him to work every day in order that the owners might not be the losers by the pits being idle.

Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

The Condition of the Working Class in England is one of the best-known works of Friedrich Engels. Originally written in German as Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England, it is a study of the working class in Victorian England. It was also Engels' first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution, and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports. Engels argues that the Industrial Revolution made workers worse off. He shows, for example, that in large industrial cities mortality from disease, as well as death-rates for workers were higher than in the countryside. In cities like Manchester and Liverpool mortality from smallpox, measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough was four times as high as in the surrounding countryside, and mortality from convulsions was ten times as high as in the countryside. The overall death-rate in Manchester and Liverpool was significantly higher than the national average (one in 32.72 and one in 31.90 and even one in 29.90, compared with one in 45 or one in 46). An interesting example shows the increase in the overall death-rates in the industrial town of Carlisle where before the introduction of mills (1779–1787), 4,408 out of 10,000 children died before reaching the age of five, and after their introduction the figure rose to 4,738. Before the introduction of mills, 1,006 out of 10,000 adults died before reaching 39 years old, and after their introduction the death rate rose to 1,261 out of 10,000.
