POSITION OF TRADE UNIONS. Why is it that British workmen have no been able to encare a fairer share of the product of mental sad manual labour?
One reason Mr. Money gives is that the strength of trade unions, relatively to that of employers' federations, has diminished of late, and that on trade aoions exhibit a lack of expansion which is not oreditable to the educa- tion, the wisdom, or the collective feeling of Wachow the working clasame,
