Even in the dreaded weapon of Syndicalism, the strike, we find nothing but the ancient weapon of British trade unionism. Combinations of workmen, isolated in society, praised as our unions used to be for minding their own business and not interfering in legislation, can enforce their will only in one way. They can lay down their tools. It is, therefore, not by a servile mpying, but it is a proof of the inevita bility of certain sequences, that Syndicalism and trade unionism, with a vision narrowed to the ex perience of the workshop alone, and a field of operation confined to industrial action, should have so much in common that the former may be regarded as nothing more than a revolutionary form of the latter.
