Excerpt from One Big Union for AustraliaThe world's toiling masses are stirring, the age-long mental sleep of Labor is breaking, and thoughts almost sweet and visionary whisper the hope of a new indus trial world to countless millions.In the factory and the field are work-weary men and women, in the trenches, high in the air, deep in the gloomy mine men are murmuring this new-born thought of Industrial Freedom.Political freedom has failed to satisfy, the right to vote has been weighed and found wanting. Parliaments and Governments come and go, but the deadly struggle for meals never relaxes, a struggle so frequently fought by the wage-earner - and lost.In the social crucible old ideas are vanishing. In the mad massacre for markets we see beliefs, customs and once-honored institutions being rapidly swept into a well-merited oblivion, and new conditions, bearing with them new ideas, are moving the laboring multitude.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
