Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of Exhibits at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904
It' must be remembered that there are certain natural laws as imperative in one place however large, as in another place, however small. Stones do not fall upwards 111 America more than in New Zealand, nor can a workman on strike keep his family on air in one locality more than in another. The New Zealander removes his industrial disputes from the vicinity of the labor boss, the armed picket and the state militia, to the calm, rational atmosphere of a court, which examines his claim, sees if the employer is getting unfair profits out of his men, and gives the workman for a fixed time a minimum wage for his work, while he can earn as much more as his employer likes to give him. The men need not work, nor his employer pay the minimum wage or any wage, but if he works at all at that trade he must not be sweated nor may he undercut his mates in wages.
