Excerpt from The Claims of Labour: A Course of Lectures Delivered in Scotland in the Summer of 1886, on Various Aspects of the Labour Problem HE present volume has arisen out of the Industrial Remuneration Conference held in the Prince's Hall, Piccadilly, in January of last year. The Report of that Conference has been published by Messrs Cassell Co.; and in the preface there will be found an explanation of the purpose with which the scheme was initiated, and the manner in which it was carried out. It will be enough to repeat here that the general question proposed in the inquiry was, [s the present system whereby the products of industry are distributed between the various persons and classes of the community satisfactoiy P or, if not, are there any means by which that system could be improved 7 The anonymous donor of the fund from which the expenses of the Conference were defrayed, finding that a considerable balance of the thousand pounds set aside by him was returned by the original trus tees, asked me to undertake the task of disposing of this sum in whatever way should seem best fitted fix to carry on the inquiry.

Excerpt from Hours and Wages in Relation to Production In my lectures, the examination of the in uence of wages and hours of labour on production forms the conclusion of a comprehensive inquiry into the effect on production of labour systems in general and of technical improvement. I do not overlook the fact that it is only in this connection that the examination in question becomes complete. If, nevertheless, I herewith publish it by itself, the reason is twofold.
