We have therefore, it is maintained, only to organize the lower grades of labour, and "sweating" will cease to exist.

There are two forms of organization commonly advocated, Co-operation and Trade Unionism.
The suggestion that the poorer grades of workers should by co-operative production seek to relieve themselves from the stress of poverty and the tyranny of the "sweating system," is a counsel of perfection far removed from the possibility of present attainment.

No one who has closely studied the growth of productive co-operation in England will regard it as a practicable remedy for poverty.

Productive co-operation is successful at present only in rare cases among skilled workmen of exceptional morale and education.

It is impossible that it should be practised by low-skilled, low-waged workers, under industrial conditions like those of to-day.
