Synopsis
Excerpt from Labour's Magna Charta: A Critical Study of the Labour Clauses of the Peace Treaty and of the Draft Conventions and Recommendations of the Washington International Labour Conference
ON June 5, 1215, King John signed, in presence of his barons, the Charter which we still regard as the basis of our liberties. Some may doubt the wisdom of calling the Labour Clauses of the Peace Treaty by a name which recalls the Great Charter of seven hundred years ago; an endeavour is here made to estimate the significance of these clauses, to examine the principles on which they are based, and at the same time to indicate the dangers attached to a too ruthless application of some of them.
The problems of to-day can be solved only by inter national action. Although chief attention is paid to conditions in Great Britain, it has been found necessary to examine also conditions in other countries. India where the strike spirit has manifested itself even among golf-caddies, and Japan where the workers pursue a ca' canny policy because strikes are illegal, are calling out for the solutions which we ourselves so much require.

Labour's Magna Charta (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Labour Clauses in the Peace Treaty that officially ended World War I. It considers the clauses within the context of the time, exploring the varied political, economic and social pressures, compromises and concessions in play at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, and how these influenced the formation of the text. The author considers the implications of controversial reservations made by certain nations to the treaty, which weakened its intentions. The author points out how other factors such as racism and colonialism inevitably influenced the text, and also the application of the principles enshrined within it. The book examines both the practical and theoretical implications of the clauses, and the book's insights are essential reading for anyone interested in the history of international relations, particularly in the 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
