Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Weapon of the Strike I think it can be safely asserted that if we leave out of consideration that element among the workers of the country whose only object is Revolution - and their number is probably insignificant - Employers and Employed are whole-heartedly in agreement in their detestation of strikes and lock-outs. On almost every other subject they will probably have a different point of view, but upon this issue their interests are identical, and the result to both equally disastrous in its immediate consequences. It seems strange, therefore, that no satisfactory alternative as a means of settling differences has yet been found. The difficulty is largely psychological. In less serious fields of life men fail to agree, either on principle or on facts. How often when we hear an ex-parte account of a transaction would it appear that the absent party must have behaved like a knave or a fool, and experience tells us that if a correct judgment is a matter of importance, we are wise to hear the other side's account as well. This phenomenon is at the root of every trade dispute, as to a large extent it may be at the root of a war between Nations.
