Synopsis
Excerpt from Unemployment and Trade Unions
As such it is, as it seems to me, entitled to the thoughtful attention of all those, who have the welfare of the wage earning classes really at heart, and in considering its arguments Tariff Reformers and Free Traders alike can afford for the nonce to lay their differences on the fiscal question on one side.
And a thorough study of the subject is an urgent necessity at the present time. The State is now definitely committed to an active policy with regard to unemploy ment. One important step has already been taken in the establishment of Labour Exchanges supported by public funds. Another step, even more important, and more difficult, is likely to follow soon, viz. A State-aided system of insurance seeking to provide for the workman during spells of unemployment and to prevent such periods from causing a permanent deterioration in his condition or in that of his family.
