Anyone who looks about him today can see that disputes are not so often between employers and workmen but more frequently between one trade union and another trade union, or between a group of men and the union to which they belong. Strikes are frequent,
 both official and unofficial. As a result of these disputes many innocent people are injured. Many lose work and wages without any fault on their part. Others are put to great hardship and inconvenience. The whole community is struck at. It is all very w
e
ll to talk of the right to strike, but I know of no law which gives any man or any group of men the right to strike at the community at large. It is nothing more nor less than a claim to a right to inflict suffering on innocent persons in order to gain yo
u
r own ends. That is a state of affairs which cannot be tolerated in a civilised community. If two men should quarrel and come to fisticuffs in the street - or two gangs of men - so that the people in the neighbourhood are put in trouble and distress, we s
h
ould all say at once that they should not seek to resolve their quarrels by coming to blows, but should take them before the courts of law. So also with disputes between unions or between a group of men and the union to which they belong. They should be r
e
solved, not by force of arms or force of strikes, but by some impartial person or persons in whom the people at large have confidence. It is unthinkable that professional men such as doctors or teachers should so far forget their duty to the public as to 
g
o on strike: or even that farm workers should forget their duty to their animals. So also it should be with dockers or seamen who have an equally high duty to the community. So long as there is no impartial tribunal available, there may be no alternative.
 
A strike may be the only way in which they can get justice. For over a hundred years that has been the case. It is the reason why we have recognized the right to strike as we have. But, at the present day, in a civilised community these trade union disput
es should be settled by an impartial tribunal as a matter of course just as other disputes are settled by the courts.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\insrsid5993117
