Excerpt from The Eight Hours Question Since this essay was written, the course of affairs has on the whole seemed to justify its line of argument, to the extent even of an almost complete subsidence of the agitation for an Eight Hours Law. I am far, however, from taking satisfaction in that bare fact, which may stand as much for the general and regrettable subsidence of public interest in social problems, as for any intelligent recognition that an Eight Hours Law is a wrong industrial policy. That subsidence has gone on step for step with the rise of public interest in the pseudo-problems of so-called imperial politics, problems the very statement of which is often an expression of defect of economic science, and which are as often fitly solved by doctrines which are the negation of it. One holding the views set forth in the following pages can take satisfaction only in seeing some new and better approach towards the ideal for which, at its best, the Eight Hours movement stood; and such an approach can hardly be said to be taking place on any largo scale, though there are signs of its being here and there found feasible even without any resort to new social machinery.

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 An Eight-Hours Day: The Case Against Trade-Union and Legislative Interference The cordial reception given to my little book on "Picketing" in September last has induced the compilation of this summary of a still more important phase of the labour question. The present volume is really a series of notes, so placed as to form, it is hoped, a readable handbook, and drawn up chiefly with the desire of deliberately giving a definite expression of opinion on the subject, but, at the same time, not excluding fair statements of arguments of other sides of the question. It is hoped that the undercurrent of bias bears with it a clear indication that we favour such a voluntary reduction of the hours of labour as considerations for national prosperity and the welfare of every individual concerned will permit; in fact, as Professor Marshall puts it, "that a general reduction of the hours of labour is likely to cause a little net national loss and much moral good." But State interference and trade-union compulsion cannot be too strongly condemned. There is no lack of illustration to show that hitherto voluntary effort has been thoroughly satisfactory. Many experiments have been attempted, either through the personal feeling, the generosity, the sense of duty, or the business interest of the employer, or at the honourable initiative of the employed to secure for themselves more leisure, more healthy conditions of working, or higher wages.

Excerpt from A Shorter Working Day This little volume is a combination of the work of two writers, the one a student of economic science, and the other a practical man of business. It does not directly advocate a shorter working day from the point of view of eager partisans of the present Eight Hours Movement, but at the same time both authors have been compelled to come to the conclusion that a reduction of the present working hours would be by no means an economic impossibility. The reader will easily see that the chapters have been written in some cases by independent hands, the student discussing the economic and historical aspects, and the man of business giving his actual experience of what he has done himself and found other business men doing. These chapters are distinguished by the initials of the writer who is in each case responsible for them; and where the work of both is combined, the initials of both are given.

Excerpt from The Eight Hour Primer: The Fact, Theory and the Argument The employment of the extra number of persons at per day would have added to the circulation per day or in the year, and as the persons lost hours' work under the ten-hour system, they would have received under the eight-hour system full employment, and would have thus added to the circulation the sum of to their earnings, making a grand total of extra earnings of for the year. If any one wishes to claim that the full employment of more persons in this state more than the total number that were employed and partly employed for that year would not tend to increase wages, then he must base his claim on a theory contrary to all fact.
