PLATE-GLASS BEVELLERS One of the most compact illustrations of the working of militant trade miionism, and of the results it may bring about in causing trade to leave the country, is afforded by the story of the bevelled plate-glass industry. In 1891 the employers formed th^nselves into the London Plate-Glass Trades Association, and agreed to give official recognition to the National Plate- Glass Bevellers' Union, which, it was thought, would discharge a useful function in fixing a standard rat...e of wages, instep of leaving each manufacturer in uncertainty as to what his competitors were paying. But as time went on the officials of the union resolved, as it seemed, to acquire practical domination over the whole industry, and things reached such a pass that the employers were at last expected to take on no man who could not produce a certificate showing that he had been approved by the union. Rather than have trouble several em- ployers accepted the requirement, and engaged 79 80 PLATEGLASS BEVELLERS men only through the union; but others firmly resisted the innovation, and it looked as if opportunity were being watched to compel them to surrender.
