Excerpt from Working-Men's Associations: A Lecture Delivered Before Pioneer Lodge, P. W. A., Springhill, on the Evening of December 13th, 1886
Some men deserve to be servants. I once walked sixty miles over the burning sands of the African coast. We had been shipwrecked. To reach a shipping port, it was necessary that weary miles must be traversed, taking the journey by short stages in the cool of the day. The poor relics of our personal effects were carried by Hottentots. Who were these Hottentots A race of little men wonderfully shrewd, hardy and fleet of foot. For a quick journey, with a heavy load, they are miniature camels - ships of the desert. There are two other classes of inhabitants there - Boers, Dutch Farmers, sturdy men, who can change the sand desert into a garden. (just think of a dreary, barren, drifting sand waste, being compelled to yield crops of barley and corn. But that rs the fact. Where men of pluck put their foot down 1) Next are the Cadres - a stalwart. Warlike race; as lithe and brave as the Black Watch Highlanders, and as cunning and unscrups nlous as the devil.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on the formation and aims of working-men's associations. The author, a public speaker, bases his opinions on his extensive knowledge of the history of labor unions and his firsthand interactions with working-class communities. He emphasizes that unions are not inherently adversarial to capital, but rather seek to establish a fair balance of power between workers and employers. The author traces the evolution of these organizations, from their humble beginnings as mutual aid societies to their role in shaping labor laws and social policies. He also highlights the challenges faced by unions, such as corruption, internal divisions, and external opposition. Ultimately, the author argues that unions play a crucial role in promoting social justice and economic equality, and their continued relevance in the face of globalization and technological advancements.
