The author says of this work that "it is written in the best interests
of Industrial Freedom, and in a Spirit of Peace and Goodwill to all who
realise that Industry is one of the highest attributes of manhood and
womanhood; and that the dignity of Labour, in its best and truest
sense, can only be attained by according to Industry the fullest and
completest freedom of thought and action, in solving for itself the
problem of its own destiny, on peaceful, just, and equitable lines as
between Employer and Employed....
"Remember that for 21 years I have stood up against my own class. I
have not argued with Strike-leaders, I have broken Strikes. We have
both striven to break each other's spirit, and the men who have been
ranged against me, from Burns, when he first delivered the speeches
written for him by Champion and Hyndman, to Tillett in his last shrill
moment of verbal hatred after the defeat of the Transport Workers'
Strike, who have always been sustained by the cheers of the multitude."
