A History Of The Labour Party From 1914 Reprinted PDF Download

Excerpt from Recruits to Labour: The British Labour Party, 1914-1931 This newly formed party confined its appeal and its interests largely to the workers. NO attempt was made to recruit members outside the affiliated trades unions and socialist societies; indeed there was no provision in its federated structure for individual members. An effort was made, on the other hand, to attract non-socialist trades unionists by avoiding an official commitment to social ism and confining the objectives of the party to the passage of social legislation beneficial to the worker. Questions of foreign 2 or domestic policy which had no immediate bearing on the situation of the British worker were regarded as distractions from the main business of the party and were thus ignored or dealt with hastily at party conferences.
