THE TRADES UNIONS OF ENGLAND.


MIR. George Howells has published I'm the
Nineteenth Century an account Of the trades
unions of England, which indicates that their
conditions much better than has commonly been
supposed. The membership in all of them he
puts at more than 1, lO0, 600 men, and, by the
regular monthly payments Of these, the unions
are In receipt of an aggregate income OF about
SlO,oO0.OOO per annum The common assump-
tion is That these unions have no other purpose
Out 10 encourage strikes: and though IL is true
tnaf the protection of its members I'm the matter
vi wages is the chief reason for the formation
OF union, II is also worthy of note that only a
small part Of the money raised is used I'm sns
tanning conflicts between labor and cap,tal.
mus In the returns for some years of a num-
DER OF the larger associations il is found that
Whlie about so per cent Of the outgo went to
sustain members who were simply out of work
through the accidents of trade. 25 per cent to
neip those who were sick and per cent each
lor funeral charges and for a superannuatiou
lund, only g per cent was paid out on account
OF strikes Mr.. Howells maintains that the
criticism made against these unions. on the
ground that they insist upon uniformity I'm
wages, Is deprived of q great deal of its force
from the TACT that only really able workmen are
moved 10 become members He says that I'm
England, thereported tyranny of the chief secre-
.aIy oI union has no foundation i'm fact; that
CRITICISM OF an exceedingly acrid character is
an the time going on, and. in the monthly pub
locations, the secretary of union is compelled
10 print any letter or resolution criticisng or
rebuking him which any of the lodges NAV
choose to send. The Office. according to Mr.
Howells is one which involves an enormous
amount of hard work, while the average salary
OF the men upon whom the doing of this work
tails is not over 81 900 per annum. The entire
expense of the management OF one Of these
great unions. including collections and pay
ments In small sums Is not over. on the aver.
age, l2]a per cent of Its receipts
