ABSTRACT

There are not two masters—the employer and the consumer—but only one master, who is the consumer; one servant, who is also the consumer, and over and above all there is Christ. There is not a master in the United Kingdom to-day who has not a supreme master over him in the form of the consumer. The so-called masters have to consider the consumer and consult the wishes of the consumer or their business falls away and they have no opportunity of employing any one. With shorter hours we can have better education. From better education springs the wisdom which was asked for by Solomon, and our children and children's children can receive, under a properly organized system of a six-hour working day, as good an education as can be given to the children of the master.
