Excerpt from Terms of Industrial Peace The labour question is one of those which in some form or other is constantly, and not always pleasantly, being brought to our notice. The relations between Capital and Labour, and the effect which they will presently have upon our productive power as an industrial people, have recently been considerably discussed. In the following pages I have attempted to state the case fairly, as one who has seen both sides of the problem, and to outline a scheme whereby the two contending elements may be brought together. The discussion is brief, and much more could be said, but an engineer who controls labour employed upon munitions is much too busy at the moment to do more than sketch his ideas, even though the subject be of such supreme importance and the problems involved those with which he is daily coming into contact. In writing this book I have made a very sincere attempt to approach the subject from a strictly neutral standpoint; with the result, doubtless, that I shall be told by some of my labour friends that the proposals do not go far enough, and by some employers that they go much further than is desirable.
