Excerpt from Why Men Strike
N ow unless one be completely determined to be poor, the way to a comence is to spend less than is earned - which is easy to say and hard to do. But nowadays most of the former poor do earn more than they need spend if only they spend wisely. If means can be provided by which they can be taught wise spending then they will have a margin of comence and if the margin is returned to industry we shall not only destroy the budding idea of a proletariat but also provide ever-increasing facilities for higher pro duction at higher wages - but at a lower labour charge per unit. This means more of the good things of life not for a class but for everybody.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the reasons behind the increase in strikes and labor unrest in the post-World War I era. The author asserts that the strikes are not primarily motivated by disputes between employers and employees, but rather by a growing sense of injustice among workers who feel they are not fairly compensated for their labor. The author argues that this discontent is rooted in the belief that workers are being exploited by a capitalist system that prioritizes profit over the well-being of its workforce. The book examines the economic and social conditions that have contributed to this sense of injustice, including the rapid increase in the cost of living, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the decline of traditional forms of social support. The author also discusses the role of labor unions in organizing and mobilizing workers, and the government's response to the growing unrest. The book concludes by arguing that the only way to address the root causes of labor unrest is to create a more just and equitable economic system that values the contributions of all workers and ensures that they are fairly compensated for their labor. This book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between labor, capital, and the state, and offers a timely reminder of the importance of social justice in maintaining a stable and prosperous society.
