To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the trade-unions lose control over labour — not only skilled, but semi- skilled labour also — the natural tendency will be for the employers to coerce and intimidate the workers into accepting lower and still lower wages. Our tremendous war indebtedness will provide the excuse, and a " free labour market " will contribute to the success of this reduction. There is a certain level of necessity to which wages ahvays tend. If wages are high, they tend to be reduced; if they are low, they tend t...o increase. The tendency to reduction is due to the endeavour of the employer to lower costs, and the acceptance, under pressure, of a lower wage by the worker so long as the wage does not fall below the limit of absolute necessity. The tendency to increase is due to the discontent of the worker when wages are below the necessity level, this leading to strikes, slacking, and inefficiency, which compel the emplo^^er to raise wages in order to avoid excessive loss. I am speaking here of skilled labour, where there is always more or less of a demand for workers.
