Note 609 — Chapter IX

The London dock labourers found themselves in 1911, with an increased cost of living and the virtual abandonment of attempts to improve their method of employment, little better off than in 1889. See Casual Labour at the Docks, by H. A. Mess, 1916; and, for the position at other ports, Le Travail casuel dans les ports anglais, by J. Malégue, 1913; The Liverpool Docks Problem, 1912, and The First Year’s Working of the Liverpool Dock Scheme, 1914, both by R. Williams (of the Labour Exchange); and “Towards the Solution of the Casual Labour Problem,” by F. Keeling, in Economic Journal, March 1913.
