Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism Though we undertook the study of the Trade Union movement, not to prove any proposition of our own, but to discover what problems it had to present to us, our minds were not SO blank on the subject that we had no preconception of the character of these problems. We thought they would almost certainly be economic, pointing a common economic moral; and that expectation still seems to us so natural, that if it had been fulfilled we should have accepted its fulfilment without comment. But it was not so. Our researches were no sooner fairly in hand than we began to discover that the effects of Trade Unionism upon the conditions of labour, and upon indus trial organization and progress, are so governed by the infinite technical variety of our productive processes, that they vary from industry to industry and even from trade to trade; and the economic moral varies with them. Where we expected to find an economic thread for atreatise, we found a spider's web; and from that moment we recognized that what we had first to write was not a treatise, but a history. And we saw that even a history would be impossible to follow unless we separated the general history of the whole movement from the particular histories of thousands of trade societies, some of which have maintained a continuous existence from the last century, whilst others have cropped up, run their brief course, and disappeared. Thus, when we had finished our labour of investigating the records of practically every important trade society from one end of the kingdom to the other, and accumulated piles of extracts, classified under endless trades and subdivisions of trades, we found that we must exclude from the first volume all but a small selection from those documents which appeared to us most significant with regard to the development of the general movement. Many famous strikes and lock-outs, many interesting trade disputes, many sensational prosecutions, and some furious outbursts of riot and crime, together with many drier matters relating to particular trades, have had either to be altogether omitted from our narrative, or else accorded a strictly subordinate reference in their rela tion to the history of Trade Unionism as a whole. All analysis of the economic effects of Trade Union action we reserve for a subsequent volume on the Problems of Trade Unionism, for which we shall draw more fully from the annals of the separate unions. And in that volume the most exacting seeker for economic morals will be more than satisfied; for there will be almost as many economic morals drawn as societies described.

Excerpt from Trade Unionism Considerable difference of Opinion exists as to the origin Of trade unions. At one time it was confidently stated that trade unions were directly derived from the old guilds of the Middle Ages. This statement was principally based upon the views of Dr. Brentano and particularly upon his work on the history and development of guilds and the origin of trade unions.

Excerpt from Trade Unionism New and Old All that I desire to add has been compressed into a Supplementary Chapter, in which the several controversial points are dealt with, and statistics are brought upto date. The book was written in the heat of controversies to which illusion is made, the somewhat severe criticisms being justified by the then facts and circumstances. If they now appear to be harsh, it is because the policy then denounced has been abandoned, or so modified as to be no longer open to the condemnation then pronounced.

Excerpt from Select Documents Illustrating the History of Trade Unionism: I. The Tailoring Trade Metropolis, now Westminster against the City. We are able to trace his gradual increase of wages and diminution of hours, a progress constantly interrupted by the pressure of the unemployed, and by the enormous uctuations in the trade caused by the periods of Court mourning. We watch the working of the curious system of the House of Call, and we see the coming in of piecework, now universal in the trade. We may even, towards the close of the history, trace the beginnings of the pernicious system of giving out work to be done in the men's own homes, which has been, for the last fifty years, the special bane of the industry. We have, in fact, in this unique series of contemporary pictures of the tailoring trade, extend ing over a century and a quarter, most interesting materials, both for the story of the industry itself, and for that economic history of the eighteenth century of which we are all so much in need.

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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Trade Unions: Their Origin and Objects, Influence and Efficacy To the officers and members of all Trade and Labor Unions, and to that much abused but serviceable class of Humanitarians - the despised "Labor Agitators" - this pamphlet is respectfully dedicated, with the hope that a perusal of its pages may make the subject of Trade Unions better understood and more thoroughly appreciated. The five opening chapters of this pamphlet are condensed from the prize essay on "Trade Unions," written by Mr. Wm. Trant, who secured for it the 50 prize offered a few years ago by the Trade Union Congress of Great Britain. It is a standard work, prepared after considerable research, and it has been carefully edited to suit American conditions.

Excerpt from Beneficiary Features of American Trade Unions The American trade unions have developed beneficiary functions far more slowly than the trade unions of England and Germany. Only since about 1880 has there been any considerable increase in such activities. Prior to that time the national unions with few exceptions paid no benefits.ll The local unions, here and there, developed beneficiary sys tems, but these were not continuous nor, in many cases, important. The history Of trade-union beneficiary activities in the United States may be roughly divided into three periods. In the first, extending from the beginning of the century to about 1830, the local associations laid great stress on their beneficiary functions. The societies of printers organized from 1794 to 1815 in the most important American cities were typical of the period. In all of them, as far as the extant records show, the beneficiary functions were regarded as equally important with the trade-regulating activities. American trade unionism owed its origin as much to the desire to associate for mutual insurance as to the desire to establish trade rules.
